Description


A few days I posted a picture of the biggest fly agaric I have ever seen in my life. Today I will post a picture of another mushroom. I was not sure of the species,but I am now. It's a parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera). Thanks Hedepo and Philip for letting me know. The size of this mushroom was..in one word... gigantic. I think it was at least 30 centimeters high. The rest you can tell of the picture.

Thank you for your comments on my romantic woods posting, thumb_1538841.jpgromantic woods, chapter 2

This is a beautiful capture of the "Grote Parasol Zwam" Sorry I only know the name in Dutch. Currently you can find an unusual large number of this species in the dunes between Noordwijk and Zandvoort. Some of them are really big. Have a very nice evening Henk

OH Yes ! It is a very beautiful capture and I like musrooms very much. I also took a shot of a HUGE one, the other day and I was surprised of the size. On the other hand it has indeed been raining alot this summer, so maybe the size is not that surprising after all :)
