Unopened Parasol

There were a few remnants of washed out and weathered Parasol mushrooms (Macrolepiota procera) to be seen about the holms this evening, though none worth collecting. Then we came across this beautiful example of an juvenile unopened Parasol. I didn't collect it as I'm hoping to do so tomorrow, a risky strategy for sure.  I saw a guy collecting here the other day and when he saw us approaching he almost ran to collect all the Parasols he could, and he succeeded too as he left no viable specimens.  Still, the seasons young and I know the forest wont let me go without.
