Oo, nice picture - thanks for sharing!

Parasol Mushroom is Ukonsieni in Finnish, which would translate as Ukko's Mushroom, and ukko means either an old man, or the highest Pagan God of old Finnish mythology. Reading my mushroom book it says that they are somewhat common in Southern Finland, and in my area can be occasionally found on places with fertile soil. I'll keep my eyes open the next season - thanks for identifying tips.

I remember one person describing the hallucainations she got when mistakenly eating the poisonous ones instead of Ukonsieni - it came with severe nausea.
