Found this lot of Shaggy Ink Caps and Shaggy Parasols on Saturday morning in a quick 20 minute cycle around my usual spots. This lovely mild weather is perfect for mushrooms - and for these mushrooms in particular so expect more until we get a cold snap. I read recently that a small number of people are mildly allergic (skin rashes, slight nausea) to the shaggy parasol but I have never experienced anything untoward. I find more of these mushrooms in Ireland than almost any other. You lose a lot of water from these types so I like to bake them in the oven with some olive oil, lemon and herbs before adding them to risottos, omelettes, pasta or just spread on toasted crusty bread.
