Don’t ignore the green-spored parasol. Learn more about it, as it is the most widespread poisonous mushroom in Taiwan. After a storm in spring and summer, it often appears in clusters, looking like bamboo shoots, on lawns or under shrubs or in fairy rings. The major characteristic of this mushroom is that when the gills are mature they turn light green to greenish-brown. This is the origin of its common name.
