The fairy ring mushroom with white flesh and a pleasing taste. These dry well and have good flavour but must be cooked first.
The fairy ring mushroom is a small, dainty fungus of the marasme family, with white flesh and a pleasing taste. These dry well and have good flavour but must be cooked first. The stems are not of good texture for eating and should be discarded. Other poisonous mushrooms grow in a similar way in a similar habitat, so watch out, when looking for this mushroom, which is common in short grasses from spring to autumn (US: fall). (If gathering mushrooms you must be absolutely certain what you have before you eat them as many are very poisonous.)
The third season of the year, when, in Europe and North America, leaves turn to yellow and red and begin to drop from the trees; apples and pears ripen and a smell of rottenness and wood-fires comes into the air with a warning of winter as a sudden deep chill. This is the season so sweetly rendered by Keats in his "Ode to Autumn".
