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.
