Marasmius scorodonius

B tier

Marasmius scorodonius is the garlic parachute—a small Marasmius relative with a distinct garlic odour when crushed, sometimes grouped with fairy-ring culinary discussion though it is a different species. Flesh is thin; use is aromatic accent more than bulk mushroom meat. Confirm ID; tiny brown mushrooms are easy to miscollect. Dry for garlic-forest powder or add sparingly to sauces. Not a substitute volume-for-volume for M. oreades caps.

History

DE

Field guides noted the garlic parachute among small edible Marasmius.

Foragers used M. scorodonius as an aromatic wild seasoning mushroom.

Specialty texts still separate scorodonius from true fairy ring oreades.
