Bubble Pecica (Peziza vesiculosa).
Family: Pezzaceae (Pezizaceae).
Season: end of May - October.
Growth: in groups and singly.
Description:
The fruit body is at first almost spherical, then it becomes cupped with a torn, curled inward edge. The inner surface is matt or slightly shiny, beige, light brownish in color with an olive tint.
The outer surface is brownish-brownish, mealy. Old fruiting bodies are saucer-shaped, often with a lobed dried edge, sessile or with a very short stalk.
The pulp is brittle, waxy, brownish.
Information on edibility is contradictory. According to some reports, it can be used as food after boiling.
Ecology and distribution:
It grows in moist places on fertilized soil in forests and gardens, on rotten deciduous wood (birch, aspen), in landfills and flower beds.
Evaluation of edibility of lemon bisporella
These bright mushrooms have no nutritional value, since their size is too miniature.
Double bisporella lemon
The beech shiver may resemble this species. These are also small mushrooms - with a diameter of 2-4 centimeters, spherical, cerebral or cup-shaped. But the color of the trembling beech is pale pink, and over time it becomes red-violet. These mushrooms bear fruit at the same time as lemon bisporella, settle on rotting wood, especially on beech and grow in clusters.
Pure neobulgaria also resembles lemon bisporella. The diameter of these small mushrooms is 0.5-2 cm. They are reniform, cup-shaped or funnel-shaped in shape. The color of these mushrooms is gray-brown or gray-blue. They grow in September and October, meeting before frost. They settle in close groups on dead birch branches.
Related species of lemon bisporella
Often lemon bisporella can be found next to another equally interesting and striking representative of the family - blue-green chlorocyborium. This is also an inedible type of mushroom. Fruit bodies are green-blue in color, very noticeable, it seems that brilliant green has been poured onto the tree. Fruiting bodies are cupped at first, and later become "ears" -like. The surface is smooth and the edges are uneven and curvy. The short stalk has a whitish coating.
The fruiting bodies of blue-green chlorocyboria settle on rotting deadwood of deciduous trees. Fruiting occurs in July-November.
