Thanks for your correction Alex. I think the term parasol is not accurate as it refers to a different group, so I have changed it.

hi martin, for the title is it ok. but parasol mushrom refer to copinoid fungi ("coprinus"/"coprinellus"/"parasola" families). But the mushroom shown on the pictures belongs very likely to the "mycena" family- bonnets fungi. As said for the title is parasol the better term, aslong as you keep mycena in mind !! :)
