Macrolepiota procera - Parasol mushrooms belong to a mushroom type known as agarics, a category of mushrooms with the cap located on the stipe, as the stalk of a mushroom is called. The cap of a parasol mushroom is egged-shaped and only extends to a parasol shape at maturity. The lamella, or gills, are a papery structure found underneath the cap and are important for spore dispersal. The parasol mushroom is slightly toxic, but can be eaten if cooked.
