When my mother and I were looking for firewood in the garden behind the house, I was immediately surprised by the discovery of umbrella mushrooms that grew in very large numbers, this mushroom grows directly on the surface of the ground and the more interesting part is that this mushroom has a relatively larger size. When it is still small, this mushroom has a closed bud and when it is mature, the bud will expand and it looks like an umbrella, moreover this mushroom has a long stem so it can be held easily. I myself do not know whether this mushroom is safe to consume or not, but this mushroom has a very pungent smell which indicates that this is a poisonous mushroom, aka inedible.

However, there's no harm in simply admiring its beauty and uniqueness, especially since this mushroom doesn't live very long. It might only live for a few days, after which it will wilt and shrivel.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some pictures of this unique mushroom here.

I'm not entirely sure whether this is a Umbrella Mushroom or not. Typically, the Parasol Mushroom has a much more distinctive snakeskin-like pattern on the stem. It belongs to the mushroom family known as parasol mushrooms and there are several different species within this group. Most of them are edible, but the Parasol Mushroom is generally considered the tastiest of them all. However, one should be careful with the Shaggy umbrella. Although it is often considered edible, it is not recommended for everyone because it tends to accumulate more environmental contaminants and can cause stomach upset in some people. In some countries there is also a poisonous mushroom called the Green-spored Parasol (Chlorophyllum molybdites), which can look very similar to a Parasol Mushroom. It differs by having a greener spore print and gills as it matures. From what I can see in your photo, it does not appear to be that species. However, I do not know whether this mushroom occurs in your country.
Personally, the Parasol Mushroom is one of my favorite edible mushrooms and in my opinion, one of the most delicious wild mushrooms you can find.
