Swamp moss

Interesting facts about the mushroom

1. This species is often called the traveler mushroom, since it grows almost all over the world: in Europe, Asia, North America and Australia. The fungus is found even in the subarctic and subalpine zone.

2. Red paints have a unique structure, they combine the properties of moss, but at the same time have a developed mycelium.

3. Flywheels are a natural source of antibiotics. In folk medicine, they are used as an additional remedy for the treatment of non-healing wounds.

4. Along with porcini mushrooms, they contain ergothioneine and glutathione - antioxidants that help slow down the aging of the body and improve health. During heat treatment, the fruits do not lose these properties.

Reddish flywheels are a very valuable food product with a unique set of vitamins, trace elements and amino acids. But in order for the “quiet hunt” to always bring joy, and not turn into disaster, you need to be very careful when collecting forest fruits. There is an unspoken rule: if you come across an unfamiliar mushroom, it is better not to put it in a basket.

Therefore, it is important to understand their various types.

Leg

50–100 mm high, 15–25 mm thick, not hollow, cylindrical, sometimes slightly narrowed at the base, smooth, yellow, reddish at the base and above the middle.

Hat

50–120 mm in diameter, in young fruiting bodies it is cushion-convex, then becomes cushion-shaped. The skin is dry, felt, brown or chestnut brown, a characteristic feature of this species is the cracking of the skin, forming an almost reticular pattern. Cracks often turn pinkish.

Hymenophore

Tubular, adherent or slightly descending at the leg. The tubules are 10–15 mm long, yellow, later becoming greenish. The pores are large, wide-angular, of the same color as the tubules; they turn a little blue when pressed.

Pulp

A little loose, white or yellowish, at the base of the leg and under the skin of the cap it has a pinkish color, turns blue on the cut, the taste is slightly sour, the smell is not pronounced.

Habitat

Grows on soil in deciduous and mixed forests, singly or in groups, prefers saturated, acidic soils. It forms mycorrhiza with some deciduous trees, is thermophilic and grows in relatively warm regions, it is not so common.

Similarity

Blunt flywheel (Xerocomellus truncatus) has a direct resemblance to related species, such as Motley moss (Xerocomellus chrysenteron), some sources argue that the blunt moss does not pinkish cracks on the cap, there is a yellowish mycelium at the base and not the flesh, but lame intensively, but all these statements are controversial and undoubtedly, in order to determine a particular species, a microscopic examination of each specimen is required.

The nutritional value

Due to the slimy consistency in dishes and the mediocre taste, it is considered a conditionally edible mushroom of little value, but it is used in a variety of dishes.

Tubular mushrooms mushrooms: yellow-brown and green

Yellow-brown flywheel (Suillus variegates) is an edible mushroom.The cap is up to 4-10 cm, at first - hemispherical, then pillow-shaped, yellow-brown or yellow-brown. The surface of the cap and of the whole mushroom is velvety, fine-scaled. The mushroom is not slimy and does not have a skin, although a number of experts attribute it to the genus butter. The tubular layer with small pores is yellow-brown, slightly green at maturity. Leg 4-9 cm long, 2-3 cm thick, yellowish. The pulp of the flywheel mushroom is yellow-brownish brownish, barely noticeably blue on the cut. Spore powder, tobacco-brown.

Occurs from August to October.

It grows in enormous quantities in some dry places of the pine forest on high-peat soil or on sand. Forms mycorrhiza with pine.

According to the description, this flywheel does not look like any inedible or poisonous mushroom.

No pre-boiling is required. Very nice, little wormy mushroom. Suitable for any mushroom dish.

In the former GDR it is called "maroon" and is preferred over porcini mushrooms.

Green flywheel in the photo

The green flywheel, or goat mushroom, is an edible tubular mushroom that grows singly or in groups from late June to mid-October. The most abundant harvest is in August-September. It is most often found on open or mossy soil in coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests, as well as along roadsides.

The cap of the mushroom is convex, cushion-shaped, with a diameter of about 13-15 cm. Its surface is smooth or cracked, dry, matte, velvety to the touch, painted in a grayish or brownish-olive color. The tubular layer is finely porous, adherent, yellow-green in color. The leg is rounded, thinner at the base, straight or curved, solid inside, of very different heights (from 3 to 10-12 cm) and about 2 cm in diameter.

As you can see in the photo, this mushroom mushroom has a smooth, dry, matte leg surface:

It is painted in a grayish-yellow color, on which, depending on the place of growth of the fungus, there may be a reticular pattern - in coniferous varieties it is darker than the main color of the leg, at the top, in deciduous ones, it is reddish at the bottom. The flesh in the cap of young mushrooms is elastic, in mature mushrooms it is loose and cotton-like, in the stem it is fibrous, harsh, in mature mushrooms it is woody. It has a well-pronounced mushroom smell and taste. On the cut, it usually turns blue.

The green flywheel belongs to the third category of mushrooms. Only the caps of young mushrooms are used for food. Main methods of consumption: boiling, frying, salting and pickling. It is not recommended to dry the mushroom as it acquires an unpleasant odor during the drying process.

Below are photos and descriptions of motley and velvet moss.

Mutinus Ravenel mushrooms and canine: photo and description, features of the development of the genus

In the photo Mutinus ravinelii

Ravenel's mutinus (Mutinus ravinelii) is confused with the canine mutinus (Mutinus caninus), which has a yellow-beige leg.

The kingdom of mushrooms occupies a separate place in biological science. There are more than 250 thousand of them. Mushrooms can live both on land and in water, with different readings of humidity and temperature.

Some species may outwardly be similar to each other, or they may be completely different, for example, the genus Mutinus, which has a very extraordinary appearance, bears little resemblance to a mushroom in the minds of most people.

They are considered quite rare.

He came to Western Europe in the middle of the last century from America. But on the territory of Russia you will not meet him so often. Loves fertile soil, grows actively at high humidity.

The main features of the development and structure:

• in the development process, there are two stages (ovoid and the appearance of a cylindrical leg);
• the body of the mutinus is spongy, porous;
• the stem ends with a tip that differs in color (usually brighter);
• it multiplies, like all mushrooms, by spores that are contained in the formed mucus with an unpleasant, putrid odor;
• the spread of spores occurs with the help of insects.

Mutinuses are not edible.But some mushroom pickers say that in the developmental stage of the "testicle", they can well be used in cooking and have the taste of an ordinary mushroom. But note that no research has been carried out on this score. Therefore, we still do not recommend eating it.

Dog mutinus: photo and description

Even an experienced mushroom picker cannot always boast that he saw him in the forests of our region. This species is more common in America, from where it was introduced to Europe. Canine mutinus, the description of which will follow below, is listed in the Red Book, a rather rare species of this species of fungi.

In the photo Mutinus dog

By its appearance, it resembles a part of the body of a dog, which is not clear how it sticks out of the ground. The color of the mutinus, starting from the ground, is pale pink, which gradually turns into a bright red tip. On the leg, under the cylindrical part, there is a mucous girdle.

Its size is no more than 2 cm. The shade of the discharge is greenish-brown. The spores of the fungus ripen here. Flies and other insects are constantly circling in this part. They are attracted by the specific smell that this mucus emits. In turn, it is the insects that carry the spores of the fungus.

The development of the canine mutinus fungus begins with the appearance of the fruiting body. It looks like an egg up to 4 cm in diameter. Has a white color. Further, this egg bursts, forming blades, and the body of the fungus begins to grow from the core. Its height can reach 15 cm. The upper part later becomes pointed and acquires a specific red tint.

See what the dog mutinus looks like in the photo:

Mutinus Ravenel mushroom: photo and description

In the photo, the mushroom mutinus Ravenel

Outwardly, this variety of mutinus has a similarity to the dog. You can meet him in the forest from the end of July until September. Most often it can be found:

• on soils rich in humus;
• in places of decaying wood.

It grows especially quickly after heavy rains.

Outwardly, it looks very strange and not attractive. With all his appearance, he seems to show that he is inedible. In addition, it emits a rather nasty smell. It is for this peculiarity that the people received the name "smelly morel".

See what the Ravenel mutinus looks like in the photo:

In the process of its growth, the fungus goes through two stages of development, like the canine mutinus. Initially, an egg-like formation appears above the ground. Its size is rarely more than 3 cm in diameter. A delicate film formation hides the rudiment of the leg of the body, it looks like a bright red process.

The egg has two lobes that break and allow the porous stem of the body to develop. Its length reaches 9 cm, and in diameter it is no more than 1 cm. Towards the end, the stem has a red pointed tip.

In an adult fungus, the upper part is covered with mucus with spores, which has a dark olive tint and gives off the smell of carrion. It is during this period that flies begin to circle near the mushroom, which are attracted by this stench.

Its pulp is tender and porous.

If you find a mutinus in the forest, then examine it carefully. Despite all its unpleasant appearance, the mushroom looks very extraordinary. Do not rip it off, as this species is quite rare in our area. Perhaps you will not see another such specimen for a long time.

Growing at home and in the country

At home, the flywheel is grown quite successfully, for this it is enough to purchase mycelium in a specialized store. You will also need:

• the presence of deciduous or coniferous trees in the personal plot, it is best if they are young;
• soil for indoor plants with a large amount of peat, which, if necessary, can be purchased separately and added.

Preparation and landing will take a little time:

1. Around the tree, you need to remove a layer of soil 20 cm for up to 1.5 meters.
2. Lay the soil with peat evenly with a thickness of 2 cm.
3. Distribute the mycelium on top, as a rule, one package is enough for such a space.
4. Cover the top with previously removed soil and pour three buckets of water. Watering should be done carefully so as not to erode the mycelium.

In order for the mycelium to take root better, you can pour it with a sweet solution. To prepare it, you need to dilute 50 g of sugar in 10 liters of water. Planting is carried out from spring, after the onset of stable heat, and until mid-September. A year later, you can see the first mushrooms, and the harvest will be from 2 to 8 kg.

Cooking recipes

Green moss mushroom is an edible species, it belongs to the second category in terms of taste. Both the hat and the leg are used for cooking, but it is best to use young specimens (adult fruiting bodies are often wormy). Flywheels can be pickled, canned, or cooked in addition to side dishes.

Primary processing

To do this, it is enough to wash the fruits, remove the skin from the surface of the cap, remove forest debris. It is not worth preparing old fruits, although the flywheel is not poisonous, but eating an overgrown specimen can cause intestinal upset. When preparing and washing the flywheels, wormy and bad ones should be removed.

Cooking

After cleaning, you should soak the mushrooms in boiling water for 5 minutes, so they will not darken and remain light and beautiful. For cooking, it is enough to put the peeled mushrooms in boiling water and cook for 30 minutes, then drain the broth, let the fruits drain and you can cook further.

Pickling

For pickling, the mushrooms after preliminary cleaning should be boiled in salted water. Prepare the marinade separately, for this you need to put on 1 liter of brine:

• 2 tbsp. l. salt;
• 2 tsp vinegar;
• 2 laurel leaves;
• 2 pcs. carnations;
• 5 pieces. allspice;
• 1 tbsp. l. Sahara.

Cooking process:

1. Boil water with spices.
2. Place the fruits in it and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Leave for three days in a cool place.
4. After 3 days, cook a new marinade from the same amount of ingredients.
5. Strain the finished mushrooms through a colander, rinse, put in jars and pour over a new marinade.

After 2 weeks, the pickled mushrooms will be ready.

Freezing

To freeze the green flywheel, after preliminary boiling, it is enough to let the fruits drain completely in a colander, or put them on a napkin. When the excess moisture is gone, the product is laid out in prepared containers or bags and sent to the freezer.

Frying

Pre-cooked and boiled mushrooms are fried. You can add onions, carrots or sour cream to prepare a delicious dish when frying. They make a wonderful sauce or addition to a side dish.

Salting

After cleaning and boiling the mushrooms, you should let the liquid drain and start putting it in a prepared container, at the bottom of which salt is already poured. For salting, you can use the following spices:

• Dill;
• garlic;
• leaves of currant, cherry, horseradish, laurel;
• cloves;
• allspice peas.

Other seasonings are also used, they are used at will, but you can get by with just one salt. Cooking process:

1. The mushrooms are laid in layers, each of which is sprinkled with salt and spicy leaves are laid out.
2. From above, cover everything with gauze folded in several layers, press down with a plate on which to place the load.

It will take 40 days to pickle the mushrooms. From time to time, the gauze should be removed and rinsed, or replaced with a new one. Arrange the fruits in jars, pour the resulting brine and put in a cold place (you can roll up).

Drying

It is good to use green mosswheel in a dried form, it makes excellent sauces and soups. The washed and peeled mushrooms are strung on a thread and hung in the sun, if the weather is rainy, then you can use the oven for this purpose.

Canning for the winter

For preservation for the winter, it is best to use only caps of young or middle-aged mushrooms. They should all be checked for rot and worms. For 1 kg of green mushrooms, you will need to boil a liter of water with the addition of:

• 1 tbsp. l. salt;
• 1 PC. laurel;
• 3 allspice peas;
• 3 carnation buds.

After boiling the composition, you need to do the following:

1. Dip the fruits into it and cook until all the mushrooms are at the bottom.
2. Strain the mushrooms through a colander, rinse under running water, allow time to drain.
3. Then you need to lay the caps in layers in a large dish (it is better to use enamel), sprinkling each time with salt and spicy leaves (oak, cherry, horseradish, dill umbrellas).
4. You can add garlic, currant leaves, cloves and laurel (to taste) as desired.
5. Cover the top with gauze, install the load.

Mushrooms should be salted in a cool place, and after 15 days you can try them or roll them up for the winter. The main storage condition is a cool room.

Description of the motley flywheel

The diameter of the cap of the variegated flywheel reaches 10 centimeters. The hat is fleshy, convex, felt outside, dry. The color of the cap varies from dark brown to light brown. In places of damage and in cracks, the flesh is reddish. The edge of the cap is sometimes decorated with a red-purple edging.

The tubular layer of young specimens is pale yellow, and in mature specimens it is greenish. The tubules can be gray or yellow, and over time they turn olive. The pores are wide enough, if you press on them, they will darken noticeably.

The pulp is loose, yellow-white, at the cut it first turns a little blue, and then turns red. At the base of the leg, the color of the flesh is purplish red. Her taste is sweet, pleasant, and the smell is fruity and delicate.

The length of the leg reaches 9 centimeters, its diameter is 1-1.5 centimeters. The shape of the leg is even, cylindrical, narrowed downward. The leg is solid in structure. The color of the leg is light yellow or yellow-brown, reddish at the base. If you press on the leg, bluish spots appear.

Areas of growth of variegated flyworms

Motley moss are found mainly in deciduous forests, especially in which lindens grow. They do not grow abundantly, but they come across often.

Taste qualities of motley moss

Motley moss is an edible mushroom belonging to the 4th category. These mushrooms are harvested from July to October. Young fruit bodies can be fried and pickled, and they are also suitable for drying.

Other mushrooms of this genus

Velvet moss is an edible mushroom. The diameter of its cap is 4-12 centimeters. At first, the shape of the cap is spherical, but gradually becomes flat. The skin of the cap is velvety, but in mature specimens it is naked and even wrinkled. The color of the cap is variable: brown, purple-brown, red-brown, deep brown, sometimes there may be a pink tint. The leg is 4-12 centimeters high and 0.5-2 centimeters thick. The color of the leg varies from yellow to yellow-red.

Velvety mushrooms grow in deciduous forests, mainly under beech and oak trees, in addition, they inhabit coniferous forests. They bear fruit actively from late summer to early autumn. They grow mainly in groups. Velvet moss is suitable for all types of culinary processing: it can be fried, salted, boiled and dried.

Moravian moss is an edible mushroom. These are reserved mushrooms, they are extremely rare, so their collection is prohibited. The fine for collecting Moravian moss is 50 thousand kroons.

The cap of the Moravian moravian is orange-brown in color, its diameter is 4-8 centimeters. The shape of the cap in young fruiting bodies is hemispherical, but becomes prostrate over time. The hats of old specimens are covered with cracks. The leg is fusiform with pronounced veins. The length of the leg is 5-10 centimeters, and its diameter does not exceed 1.5-2.5 centimeters. The color of the leg is slightly lighter than the cap.

Moravian mushrooms bear fruit from summer to autumn. They grow in deciduous forests, plantings and pond dams. They are distributed mainly in the southern parts of the country.

Time and place of fruiting

Red boletus prefers deciduous forests, especially in oak forests. Occasionally grows in forests of various types, in thickets of bushes, along roads, on the slopes of ravines, on glades, in small grooves. Collect it from August to October.In general, it is rare, sometimes appears in small groups, mass growth is never observed.

You can try to breed mushrooms near your home. You need to choose a site in the shade, from the forest, from the place of natural habitat of mushrooms, bring land and several ripe fruits. The substrate should consist of humus, fallen leaves and sod land. Dig a groove 30 cm deep and place the soil mixture tightly into it. Mushrooms are placed in water for a day. After kneading the caps to a mushy state, dilute the mass with water and water the place prepared for planting. Mushrooms should be sown in the middle of summer; for the first two months, abundant regular watering is needed.

Under favorable circumstances, the crop will appear in a year.

Mosswheel: a detailed description of the mushroom

The flywheel is an edible mushroom that is a member of the bolet family. It is called so because the fruiting bodies grow in moss. Outwardly, the flywheel resembles a boletus. It is edible.

General characteristics of the mushroom

Mokhovik is a representative of the bolet family. There are several varieties of this mushroom, which differ somewhat from each other in external characteristics.

The mushroom has a hemispherical cap, the diameter of which reaches 10 cm. As the mushroom matures, cracks cover the surface. A distinctive feature of the flywheel is the blue color of the pulp on the cut.

Top color ranges from light golden to bright red hue. The surface feels like velvet, dry to the touch. The lower part is smooth or slightly wrinkled.

These mushrooms contain many valuable substances: essential oils, amino acids, B vitamins, phosphorus, copper, potassium, urea. 100 g of flywheel contains the daily requirement of zinc and copper required by the body.

Varieties of moss

The edible species of this mushroom are:

• Polish mushroom (also known as chestnut). This is an edible mushroom, moreover, it is considered one of the most delicious in Europe. Its dimensions are quite large: the circumference of the cap can be 12-15 cm. Its surface is brown. The pulp of the Polish mushroom is fragrant and has a pleasant taste.
• The flywheel is semi-golden. This is a conditionally edible type of mushroom. This type is not very common. A distinctive feature of the semi-golden flywheel is a gray-yellow hue of the fruiting body.
• Velvet. Its cap is spherical. As the mushroom matures, it becomes spherical. Color - from brown to reddish brown. Leg length - from 4 to 12 cm.
• Yellow-brown. It is also called yellow-brown butterdish, sandy moss, swamp. The hat is semicircular, its edges are bent down. The size of the cap varies from 5 to 14 cm in diameter. The surface of the young mushroom is velvety; as the mushroom matures, cracks and scales appear on it. In the process of growth, the cap has a gray-orange or yellow-gray color. There are small yellow tubes on the bottom of the cap. The pulp is tough and almost tasteless.
• Red flywheel. The cap of the mushroom reaches 9 cm in diameter. It is fleshy and fibrous. The pulp has a yellowish tint, turns blue on the cut. The leg is long and even, its length is on average 10 cm.
• Green flywheel. The upper part of this mushroom is colored golden brown, its diameter is up to 10 cm. The stem is in the shape of a cylinder, expanding closer to the base. The pulp is dense, white, with a pronounced mushroom odor.
• A variegated (or fractured) flywheel. A distinctive feature of such a mushroom is the presence of a whole network of cracks on the cap. Its diameter reaches 3-7 cm. The color varies from gray to burgundy. The leg is shaped like a club.

Moss semi-golden description, what it looks like, is it possible to eat, collection rules, photo

Semi-golden flywheel: where it grows and how it looks, photo

Semi-golden flywheel is a mushroom of the Boletov family. It comes across in nature infrequently, so only an experienced mushroom picker can find it. Sometimes this type is confused with boletus or boletus, which have a certain similarity.

How semi-golden mushrooms look

Young specimens are distinguished by a hemispherical cap, which becomes flat with age. The diameter is small and rarely exceeds 7 cm, in most cases the criterion is kept within 5 cm.

Under the cap is a tubular layer, which is slightly darker than the outer side of the cap. The leg is low, the length may fluctuate within 3-5 cm. Cylinder shape, dense, straight.

The leg is covered with paint in the color of the cap, but may be reddish. Very often the semi-golden flywheel has a yellow, orange or light brown color.

Where semi-golden mushrooms grow

In our country, they are found in the regions of the Caucasus and the Far East. They prefer the climate of temperate latitudes, grow in coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests. Often, mushrooms hide among the moss in small groups. Hence the name - flywheel.

Is it possible to have semi-golden flywheels

They are classified as conditionally edible.

The cooking stage is the most difficult, the mushrooms do not have a special taste, therefore they are rarely eaten.

False doubles

does not have toxic twins, but it can be confused with inedible or unpleasant-tasting specimens.

Semi-golden can be mistaken for a powdered flywheel. The two species have a similar color, however, the double has a more golden leg and a dark cap. Not every experienced mushroom picker will be able to distinguish these two specimens one from one.

In the semi-golden flywheel, the leg is thin, does not have thickenings. The color is the same and will cover the entire fruiting body. Other mossy plants do not have a similar monotony.

You can confuse the species with a gall fungus. It stands out for its decent size, light cap and thick leg. The body is covered with a brown mesh of cracks. Sometimes the cap is light brown, so it is easy to confuse it with a semi-golden flywheel.

Collection rules

The species begins to grow actively from late July to September. Can be found in great numbers in mid-August.

It is necessary to look for mushrooms in dry pine places next to moss. Thanks to the dark-colored hat, the representatives of the mushroom kingdom are easy to spot. The species is rapidly oxidizing; therefore, preparation should be started as soon as possible after collection.

Consumption

Before cooking, each mushroom is thoroughly washed, removing leaves, dirt and other debris. After that, the collected specimens must be cut into pieces and boiled in a huge amount of water.

During the cooking process, the water is changed every thirty minutes. In total, processing will take 3-4 hours. This is to make the pulp edible. After boiling, the mushrooms can be cooked.

A similar view is best used for salads, side dishes and other gastronomic dishes. You cannot marinate and salt them. Drying is also not recommended, as the pulp does not darken well.

The boiled product is first washed once again in drinking water. It can be added to stews or meat.

Conclusion

The semi-golden flywheel stands out for its original, light color. The dark hat with a colorful yellowish stem stands out against the background of moss and foliage. Regardless of the beautiful appearance, the same mushrooms do not stand out for their special taste. Due to oxidation, the fruits change color, so the processing process should take place as soon as possible.

Similar species, distinctive features from them

A mushroom similar to the velvet flywheel is the variegated flywheel (Xerocomus chrysenteron). However, the size of this similar variety is smaller, and the cap is cracking, yellow-brown in color. The often described type of flywheel is confused with the fissured flywheel, which bears fruit from mid-summer until late autumn.Between these two species of moss, there are many subspecies and intermediate forms, combined into one type, called the cisalp moss (lat.Xerocomus cisalpinus). This species differs from the velvet flywheel in a wider spore size (they are larger by about 5 microns). The cap of this species cracks with age, the leg is short, and when pressed or damaged, the surface becomes bluish. In addition, the flesh of the Cisalpine moss is paler in color. Through microscopic studies, it was also possible to find out that its leg contains the so-called waxy hyphae, which are not found in the velvet flyworm (Xerocomellus pruinatus).

Detailed description of the edible mushroom

There are several Russian names for this species, it is called Motley and fissured Mokhovik, yellow-meat or Pasture Borovik, and in the Crimea the name Pestrukha is more common. In addition to the common Latin name Xerocomellus chrysenteron, there are also synonyms: Xerocomus chrysenteron, Boletus chrysenteron, Boletus cupreus, Boletus pascuus, Versipellis chrysenteron. It belongs to the genus Xerocomellus of the Bolet family.

The diameter of the cap reaches 7 cm, it is convex, often has a cushion shape, and may be slightly depressed in the center. Dry, velvety to the touch, matte, color from burgundy to brown. Often olive or ocher. It cracks along the perimeter with a mesh, pink color is visible in the gaps.

The hymenophore is tubular (the lower part of the cap). The pores are large, adherent to the stem, creamy with a yellow tint, often ocher, greenish. The pressure causes a bluish color on the surface of the tubes. Spores are olive brown.

The pulp is white or slightly yellow, closer to the bottom of the leg and cap is red, rather quickly acquires a blue tint on the cut.

The leg reaches 10 cm in height and 2 cm in diameter. The form is club-shaped, solid, in an old mushroom it can become hollow. The surface is smooth, dark, covered with cracks, the upper part is finely scaly, and at the bottom there are barely noticeable fibrous belts of a grayish tone. The color of the leg is light yellow, red in the lower part.

The first mention of a flywheel with yellow meat belongs to Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bullard, a French physician and botanist, who attributed the mushroom to the genus Xerocomus. But in 2008, the Czech mycologist Josef Sutara found significant differences and transferred him to the genus Xerocomellus.
