Parasol Mushroom Macrolepiota procera Liquid Culture, large edible wild mushroom for field cultivation and gourmet mushroom gardens

Macrolepiota procera, commonly known as the parasol mushroom, is a highly recognizable and prized wild mushroom known for its tall slender stem and large umbrella-like cap with a distinctive brown scaly pattern. Found in meadows, forest clearings, and grassy fields, this edible species is beloved by foragers for its delicate nutty flavor and impressive appearance. With this high-quality liquid culture, growers can now attempt to cultivate this striking mushroom in naturalized outdoor settings.

The parasol mushroom prefers well-drained, organically rich soils and grows best in partially shaded open spaces. It is not a wood-decomposer like many cultivated mushrooms but can thrive in compost-enriched garden beds, grassy patches, or pasture edges when environmental conditions are favorable.
