Provenance of Dish
One day looking for edible mushrooms. having no luck, I found a fairy ring of Macrolepiota. Together with one or two side dishes one mushroom is a meal in itself. I removed a mushroom without disturbing the fairy ring. Not really sure what to do with I decided I ask some Facebook friends from a mushroom group who said: schnitzel! I wanted no complicated recipes and decided to use no more than old bread and eggs...
Editor's Note
There is no room for error when identifying the edibility of mushrooms in the genera Amanita, Cortinarius, Lepiota, and Tricholoma. Please be careful with your identification.
