Every summer, there’s a group of these mushrooms growing in the same spot. I’m having trouble identifying them. They’re 5-10” in diameter. Does anybody know what they are?

It turned out that these are not “Parasols,” but “False Parasols” a.k.a. “Vomiters.” I cooked some up and thought I was fine, but after about six hours, I was VERY sick. All okay now. It’s not a liver-endangering toxic variety, but made for a bad night.
DON’T EAT THIS!!

Giant umbrella mushroom (parasol)
Is the ring on the stem movable?
If so, is it a parasol.
Macrolepiota procera is the latin name.

Aha! Thanks, Andrew! That jives with literature, and yes, the ring moves. So it’s considered “choice edible.” Unfortunately, somebody just mowed over them before I learned this. Oh, well. They’ll be back.

Most of the parasol I found, I dried, then crushed to a powder. I use the powder for the sauce tasting a little bit like mushroooms... ;)
Today I will make that "chicken of the woods"...
