Psatirella candolla - a description of where it grows, the toxicity of the fungus

Psatirella belongs to the Psatirella family and the Psatirella family. Disputes have long been debated about the edibility of the fruiting bodies of this variety. Some consider them unsuitable for eating, others classify as conditionally edible. The second option suggests that during a long and thorough heat treatment, specimens can be tried. However, experienced fans of quiet hunting are not advised to collect this variety, so as not to risk it.

Description

1. Psatirella Candolla is considered a conditionally edible fruiting body, as mentioned earlier. The top grows up to 10 cm in diameter. The maximum is painted with a beige or cream tone. It is fragile, with the course of the life cycle changes, becoming not round, but almost flat. Young specimens are sometimes endowed with a scaly structure of brown color. The edges of the apex are uneven, wavy, all in cracks. In the center of the hat there is a tubercle.
2. The plates on the back of the hat are located next to each other, they adhere to the base and are pigmented from light to dark brown in color. It all depends on the age of a particular fruiting body. The leg grows up to 10 cm in height. It is smooth and white. May be brownish in rare cases. A seal is seen at the bottom. The leg itself is weak and often breaks.
3. The soft part of the whole mushroom is painted in a whitish tone. A subtle aroma emanates from it. This mushroom variety has a double called brown-gray psatirella. This double is dark, grows next to trees in the grass. Kandoll mushroom is not used in folk medicine. It has other names, such as khrylanka or false feathers.
4. Growth begins at the end of the spring season and continues until mid-autumn. The nature of the growth is colonial, but the groups are not too voluminous. Look for mushrooms in North America and Eurasia. Fruit bodies grow directly on tree trunks and stumps. Often found in larch trees, as well as park areas, courtyards and gardens. The heat treatment after harvest is very complex, so the mushroom is practically not consumed in food.

Differences

1. This variety has distinctive characteristics. The cocoon, which remains after birth, is on the hat of the fruiting body. If there are no these remains of the bedspread, then it is necessary to study the place of growth. Mushrooms settle on dead sections of trees, in particular on stumps. Also on the base there is no ring.
2. If we compare Candolle, for example, with Agrocibe, then it is worth saying the following. In our species, spore powder is more darkened. And from other psatirells, this variety is distinguished by large dimensions and light tone.
3. Also, you should not lose sight of the peculiar variability of Candolle. External data may vary depending on climatic conditions, temperature in the morning and evening hours. Equally important is age and habitat. But it is worth knowing for sure that you will not confuse this species with edible mushrooms.

Water-loving psatirella

1. This type of fruit has a hat in diameter of no more than 7cm. Often it can be painted in light brown or yellowish. Also on it you can see a small tubercle. The hat in most cases has a cracked structure and uneven edges.
2. The mushroom is shaped like a bell. When the fruiting body ages, the hat becomes almost flat. You can say to the touch that it is smooth and dry. The leg can reach a height of 11 cm. It has a lighter color, unlike a hat. The leg is hollow, curved and quite dense.A powdery coating is present along the entire length. It is velvety to the touch.
3. As for the plates, they are painted in a light beige color. After a sufficient amount of time, they acquire a brown hue. The plates are quite firmly attached to the leg. The pulp has a brown color. She is watery, thin and soft. The taste is bitter, but the aroma is practically nonexistent. As for similar species, they are absent.
4. In most cases, such fungi begin to bear fruit from the end of summer until the first frost. Most often found in North America and Eurasia. Also considered mushroom has several minor names. Often it is called a hydrophilic brittle and psatirella, a spherical psatirella, a watery false foil.

The fruiting body under discussion is a rather interesting mushroom. Such an instance is very rare. In addition, depending on weather conditions, he is able to change his appearance. This mushroom is not recommended for food. It requires special handling. There is also a high probability that you can rip off a poisonous or simply inedible double.
