About the species. Edible when correctly identified. It can grow in the same grassland as poisonous white funnel mushrooms. The gills of Fairy Ring Champignon are pale and widely spaced; poisonous funnels usually have more crowded gills running down the stem. Do not rely on one feature alone.

Fairy Ring Champignon: the species in brief

How to tell it

A small buff to tan mushroom with a low central bump. The stem is thin, tough and flexible. It often grows in rings or arcs in grass.

Where it grows

On lawns, meadows, pasture, playing fields and other short grass. Widespread across Europe.

In the kitchen

The caps are the useful part; the stems are usually too tough. The caps can be fried or dried and used as a strongly flavoured seasoning.

Nutrition

Low in calories and usually gathered for flavour rather than bulk.
