Chicken mushroom

Description of northern climacodon

The fruit body of the northern hedgehog consists of large tongue-shaped or leaf-shaped caps. The hats grow together at the base, forming large formations that look like steps. Each hat is large in diameter from 10 to 30 centimeters. The thickness of the cap at the base is 3-5 centimeters.

The color of the cap is gray-yellow. With age, these mushrooms fade and become whitish, and sometimes they, on the contrary, turn green from the mold covering them. The edges of the caps are wavy; at a young age, they can be very curved downward. The surface of the caps is smooth or slightly fluffed. The pulp is leathery, light, thick and dense. The smell of the pulp is quite strong and unpleasant.

The hymenophore of the northern climacodon consists of spines. The thorns are long, thin, often located, rather brittle and soft. In young specimens, the thorns are white, and as they grow, their color, like the cap, changes. Spore white powder.

Distribution of northern black hairs

Northern Hericiums begin to bear fruit from the beginning of July, annual mushrooms can be found until autumn, but then insects eat them. You can find these hedgehogs in different types of forests, where they affect weak deciduous trees. Northern climacodons grow together in large groups, their aggregates can reach impressive sizes and weigh up to 30 kilograms.

Northern climacodons are dangerous parasites of the forest, but, despite this, there is little information about them.

Distinctive features of the northern black man's man

The northern Hericium is distinguished by a spiny hymenophore, in addition, the fruiting bodies are arranged in tiles, so it is difficult to confuse these mushrooms with other species

Other hedgehogs

Hericium Erinaceus is an edible mushroom. It is also called mushroom noodles. The fruit body is irregular in shape, without a leg, with long thorns, 2-5 centimeters in size. When dry, the thorns turn yellow. The pulp is white. The flesh tastes like shrimp meat.

Hericium erinaceans grow in China, the Amur region, in the Crimea and the Caucasus. These are rare mushrooms. They settle on the trunks of oak trees. In many countries, they are included in the Red Book.

Alpine Hericium is an edible member of the family. The width and height of the fruiting body is 5-30 centimeters. The color of the fruit body is white, and with aging it becomes light ocher. The fruiting body consists of numerous branches that diverge from the short stalk. At the ends of the branches there are hanging thorns about 2 centimeters long.

Alpine Hericiums live on fir, they can rarely come across other conifers. These mushrooms are common in the foothills and mountainous areas. Their fruiting occurs from summer to autumn.
