Description
Shaggy parasol grows in circles that are known as "fairy rings" in various European folklore. These mushroom rings were thought to be places where elves or fairies danced in a circle. Shaggy parasol is a recognizable scaly, large mushroom, but it may be confused with other mushrooms such as the popular parasol mushroom, which is larger and has a snakeskin-like stem.
