Is the common spider web edible or poisoning possible?

Webcap purple

The purple webcap (Latin name - Cortinarius Violaceus) is an edible mushroom of extraordinary beauty. Quite often it can be found in deciduous and coniferous forests. This plant is listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation, as it is a very rare species of mushrooms.

The webcap belongs to the Lepista genus, to the Buttercup family. The following characteristic will present all the features of this plant.

Edible: conditionally edible.

Description

The purple spider web, or sometimes it is called the purple spiderweb, is the adornment of any forest. Despite the fact that it is conditionally edible, it is not recommended to collect it due to its uniqueness. During the mushroom season, it can be found only once. Its number decreases every year.

The mushroom cap can be up to 15 cm in diameter. It can be hemispherical or flat. There is a tubercle in the center. A young mushroom has a purple cap. In rare cases, its color may be red. It can fade over time. In the lower part there are wide plates.

The pulp at the break has a blue tint, and the smell of the mushroom is almost not felt. The pulp is quite fragile, it is easy to break it in your hands.

The stem of the mushroom is long and pleasant to the touch. The same can be said about armor. A thickening can be seen towards the base. During maturation, the stem can become tubular. The outer layer of the fungus is purple in color.

Where do they grow?

Very often, a purple cobweb can be found in damp birch forests. It can appear under spruce and pine trees. The most popular are single specimens, but groups of cobwebs are also rare.

Types of cobwebs

There are many varieties of cobwebs. The following are the most common ones:

• White and purple spider web. This mushroom cap belongs to the lamellar group. Its cap can reach 12 cm in diameter, and its edges are connected to the stem with a cobweb blanket. The flesh of the mushroom can be brown or light brown. It tastes and smells good.

• Scaly webcap. Its cap can be about 10 cm in diameter, it is convex or flat. In wet weather, it is slimy and shiny.

• The webcap is yellow. The most common representative of cobwebs, sometimes it is called yellow or triumphant spiderweb.

Beneficial features

The webcap contains many vitamins. It is composed of B1 and B2, zinc, copper, manganese. This mushroom is characterized by stearic acid and ergosterol. The medicinal properties of this plant are noted by many pharmacists. Such a conditionally edible mushroom is used in the manufacture of remedies for fungus, antibiotics. It is able to lower glucose levels. It can also be used to create drugs that control hypoglycemia. The cobweb has anti-inflammatory properties, it perfectly supports the activity of the immune system. Due to the large amount of vitamins, it helps to normalize the digestive tract, it also protects the body from infections and prevents overwork, fatigue.

Contraindications

If you take into account how much benefit this mushroom has in itself, you can understand that the contraindications here are insignificant. Some edible mushrooms can be confused with inedible mushrooms. The threat is posed by cobwebs that were collected near the road. They managed to absorb all the toxic substances. Such mushrooms are contraindicated for people with gastrointestinal diseases.

How to make a purple spider web salting?

To salt such a mushroom, it must be thoroughly washed and cleaned of contaminated areas. Then they are boiled in salted water. The water needs to be drained and then you can proceed to pickling the mushrooms.

You need to marinate them with vinegar, sunflower oil, salt and pepper. The mushrooms need to be immersed in a saucepan, add the listed ingredients and put on low heat.Spiderweb mushrooms will secrete a liquid in which salting occurs. Then they can be laid out in banks and stored for no more than 12 months in a cool place.

What mushrooms can be confused with and how to distinguish

A popular mushroom, with which inexperienced lovers of "quiet hunting" most often confuse the cobweb, is the purple ryadovka. It is classified as a conditionally edible group and requires certain cooking conditions. Over time, the open hat acquires a characteristic depression in the center. In young specimens, it has a deep purple hue, and in adults it gradually fades and fades.

On the inside of the cap there is a lamellar layer of a violet hue, which gradually fades. A characteristic feature of the purple row is white-pink spores. The thick leg is painted in a pale purple hue, and small formations resembling flakes are visible on its surface.

Amethyst lacquer is considered to be the twin of the spider web, even though there are striking differences between the mushrooms. In addition, it belongs to the edible category, so it will not bring any harm to an inattentive mushroom picker.

With age, the lilac hat not only acquires a flat shape, but also fades in the sun. It rests on a thin, slightly curving leg. Moreover, the entire fruit body has the same color, which confuses mushroom pickers. The hymenophore, which is represented by whitish-mealy plates containing white spores, will help to eliminate any suspicions.

The properties of brightly colored entoloma, as well as its effect on humans, are not fully understood. Therefore, the mushroom is considered inedible, and in some countries it is ranked as poisonous. A pointed hat with shallow edges is distinguished by a lilac-brown color, which transforms into brown with age.

The stem of the mushroom is thin, has the same color as the upper part. The whitish, creamy lamellar layer becomes pinkish in adult specimens.

White-purple spider web: photo and description

The white-purple webcap is a conditionally edible lamellar mushroom of the Cobweb family. It got its name because of the characteristic cover on the surface of the spore-bearing layer.

Description of the hat

In a young mushroom, the cap has a rounded bell-shaped shape, then becomes convex and convex-outstretched with a towering blunt or wide tubercle. Diameter - from 4 to 8 cm. The surface is often uneven, shiny, silky-fibrous, sticky in the rainy season. The color is at first lilac-silver or white-lilac, with growth the middle acquires a yellow-brown or ocher hue, then fades to an off-white tone.

Blades with uneven edges, narrow, rather sparse, teeth adhered to the pedicle. In young specimens, they are grayish-bluish, gradually becoming gray-ocher, then brown-brown with light edges.

In mature specimens, the plates acquire a brownish color.

The color of the spore powder is rusty-brown. The spores are small-warty, ellipsoid-almond-shaped in shape. Size - 8-10 X 5.5-6.5 microns.

The cover is cobweb, silvery-purple, in the process of growth it becomes dense, reddish, then transparent-silky. It is attached to the leg quite low and is clearly visible in not too old specimens.

The color of the pulp is bluish, whitish, pale lilac, lilac.

Leg description

The leg is club-shaped, solid, sometimes curved, with one or more whitish, rusty belts, sometimes disappearing. The surface is matte, the color is whitish-silky with a purple, lilac or bluish tint, the top is more intensely colored. Below the girdle with mucus. The pulp is lilac. The height of the leg is from 6 to 10 cm, the diameter is from 1 to 2 cm.

A characteristic feature of all cobwebs is a bedspread on a spore-bearing layer, descending along the leg

Where and how it grows

It settles in woodlands, deciduous and coniferous forests. Prefers the neighborhood of birch and oak. Loves wet soils. Comes in small groups or singly. Forms mycorrhiza with birch.

Distributed in many European countries, in the USA, Morocco. In Russia, it grows in the Primorsky and Krasnoyarsk Territories, Tatarstan, Tomsk, Yaroslavl Regions, Buryatia.

Is the mushroom edible or not

Webcap white and purple - conditionally edible mushroom. It is suitable for eating after boiling for 15 minutes, as well as salted and pickled. The gastronomic quality is low.

Doubles and their differences

The silver webcap is distinguished by the absence of purple tints, except on the pulp in the upper part of the leg. In some sources, it is considered a kind of white-violet and, according to descriptions, practically does not differ from it. The mushroom is inedible.

Putinnik silver looks almost identical to white and purple

The camphor webcap has a similar appearance and color of the fruiting body. It differs in brighter plates, dense pulp with a lilac-brownish marbling in the cut, a very unpleasant burnt odor. Grows in moist dark coniferous forests. It is considered inedible and poisonous.

The camphor species is distinguished by marble pulp

The goat webcap has a very unpleasant odor. Differs from white-violet rusty plates, more intense violet color, dry surface. Refers to inedible and poisonous.

A distinctive feature of this mushroom is the "goat" smell

The webcap is excellent. The cap is hemispherical, velvety, purple in young specimens, red-brown in mature ones. The leg is pale purple, with the remains of the bedspread. Treats conditionally edible, has a pleasant smell and taste. Not found in Russia. In some European countries it is included in the Red Book.

Classification and representatives

Main article: Taxa of the genus Spiderweb

On the basis of macroscopic, microscopic and chemical characters, the genus is divided into 4-7 taxa, which were previously considered as subgenera or sections; in new systems, subgenera are divided into a large number of sections.

In 1821 E. Fries divided the genus into 6 subgenera: Myxacium, Phlegmacium, Inoloma (= Cortinarius sensu stricto), Dermocybe, Telamonia and Hydrocybe... Moser in 1955, taking the Fries system as a basis, identified 5 independent genera, but he (together with Singer) in 1962 again lowered their rank to subgenera, with changes in their composition.This classification is also adopted in new systems, but the assignment of species to subgenera can vary considerably among different authors.

Cortinarius - one of the largest genera of the Agarikov order. Different authors indicate a different number of species in the genus, usually up to 700, but according to the most complete edition - "Dictionary of mushrooms", the number of species exceeds 2000.

Subgenera (according to Nezdoyminy (1996), corresponds to the Moser - Singer system (1962)):

• Phlegmacium (Fr.) Fr.
• Sericeocybe P.D. Orton
• Myxacium (Fr.) Loud.
• Telamonia (Fr.) Loud.
• Leprocybe Mos.
• Cortinarius
• Dermocybe (Fr.) Sacc.

Some species:

What can be confused with the purple rowing

At first glance, it seems that the bright purple or lilac color of the mushroom makes it completely unique in appearance. But this is not so, there are many rows with a purple leg and false doubles, and the mushroom can easily be confused with both edible and toxic doubles.

Blue-legged, or lepistal-legged

This conditionally edible mushroom is similar to cyanosis in its external structure; it has a fleshy, slightly convex cap with a lamellar lower surface and a purple leg. However, there are important differences - the mushroom cap is much lighter and closer to white. In addition, a false purple row, or bluefoot, grows in warm subtropical regions, mainly in fields and meadows, and it can be found already from mid-spring.

Violet Lepista

Another conditionally edible lamellar mushroom grows in temperate climates and is found mainly in forests. The cap of the violet lepista is convex, its edges are uneven. However, the color of the mushroom is not purple, but rather pinkish brown or whitish. In addition, the flesh of this species of Lepista gives off a distinct violet scent at the break.

Lilac varnish

The fungus is classified as conditionally edible and grows in temperate climates from early summer to mid-autumn. The lacquer is similar to a purple ryadovka in its shade, at a young age it is bright purple, as it grows it turns pale and fades. Also, the mushroom has a flattened fleshy cap with a slight bulge in the center, and the underside of the cap is covered with thin plates.

However, a photo of a purple false row allows you to distinguish it from a real mushroom. The difference is primarily in size - varnish usually reaches no more than 5 cm in diameter and belongs to miniature mushrooms.

Purple spider web

This conditionally edible mushroom from the Webinnikov family of the same name grows in coniferous and deciduous forest plantations in a temperate climate. It looks like a young purple ryadovka in the shape of a hat, but usually has a darker color - deep purple or brownish, the same color and a plate on the underside of its cap.

The purple flesh of the cobweb gives off a nutty aroma, not a fruity one. The leg of the mushroom noticeably thickens in the lower part, and you can also notice traces of a coverlet on it, similar to a light cobweb.

Important! The purple spider web is a fungus listed in the Red Book, so you can rarely find it in the forests.

White and purple spider web

This mushroom from the Webinnikov family belongs to the category of inedible, it cannot be eaten. The convex or bell-shaped cap of the mushroom reaches 8 cm in diameter, and the webcap can rise 8 cm above the ground on the leg.

You can distinguish an inedible mushroom from a purple ryadovka not only by its shade, but also by its pulp - in the cobweb it is soft, quickly turning brown in the cut, and at the same time it emits a noticeable smell of mold.

Goat webcap

Another inedible mushroom is distinguished by a convex hemispherical cap up to 6-12 cm in diameter and a thick short leg with a thickening near the ground. The goat webcap has a bluish-purple tint of the leg and cap, its flesh is grayish-purple. The peak of fruiting occurs at the end of summer, and the mushroom can be found in conifers and mixed plantings of the middle lane until the beginning of October.

You can distinguish a poisonous purple ryadovka mushroom from a real edible one both in color and shape, and in smell. The inedible mushroom emits an unpleasant aroma of acetylene and does not at all make you want to taste the pulp.

Pure mycene

The hemispherical cap of a miniature inedible mushroom can reach 4 cm in diameter, and the mycenae can rise by 9 cm above the ground.It vaguely resembles a row, but much thinner and smaller in size, the color of the mycena is more grayish than lilac, sometimes pale brown. Its pulp is also gray or pale gray, watery and with a distinct unpleasant odor. When the mycene breaks, it secretes a very large amount of milky juice.

Pure mycene differs from the purple ryadovka not only in external features. It is difficult to confuse the species due to the different growing dates - the rowing refers to autumn mushrooms, while the inedible mycene is found in temperate climates from early spring to the end of June.

Time and place of fruiting

Not every mushroom picker was able to see with his own eyes a spider web of an unusual purple color. However, it grows in the coniferous and deciduous forests of the northern temperate zone, in which it creates mycorrhiza with spruce, pine, birch, oak and beech. From August to September, it can be found near swamps or streams, as the fungus loves humic, acidic, and mossy soils.

The fat woman was spotted in Russia, Denmark, Italy, Sweden, Czech Republic, Ukraine, France, Belarus, Romania and other European countries. In addition, the mushroom is found in Georgia, Kazakhstan, the United States and even in Japan. Most often, podolotniks appear one at a time, but sometimes they are found in groups.

Edible varieties

This group includes several delicious subspecies that are readily used in medicine and cooking.

Cobweb

The people call the lamellar mushroom purple or plump.

Autumn type, prefers to grow in deciduous and coniferous forests.

The characteristic includes several special qualities:

• the head is cushion or convex with a circumference of 15 cm;
• in adult and old mushrooms, the hat is open, the edges are wavy, covered with scales, the color is dark purple with a gray tint;
• plates are wide, sparsely located, purple;
• the height of the cylindrical leg is 12 cm, the thickness is 2 cm, the upper part is scaly, the lower is in the form of a tuber;
• the flesh is bluish or with a pronounced nutty taste without mushroom aroma.

The purple spider web forms mycorrhiza with several types of deciduous trees - beech, oak, birch. It can also be found next to spruce, pine, under fallen leaves, in places where mosses grow, where the soil is acidic and humic.

The peak of fruiting occurs at the end of summer and ends in the middle of autumn.

Pecitsa purple

Another edible variety that belongs to macromycetes. It grows mainly in groups in places of old fires and fireplaces. Begins to bear fruit in spring and continues until mid-summer.

• the cap is of two types - disc-shaped or cupped, the apex circumference is from 1 to 3 cm;
• the surface is smooth, lilac or reddish-purple;
• in some species, a false leg may form;
• the pulp is brittle, lavender, thin, odorless and odorless.

Mushroom pickers rarely collect representatives of this species due to their low taste.

Rowing

For many mushroom pickers, it is known as purple or naked lepista. Popularly called titmouse or cyanosis.

• the apex is fleshy, with a circumference of 16 to 19 cm, hemispherical or convex with thin edges curled down;
• adult fruiting bodies acquire a prostrate or depressed shape, the edges are bent, in some specimens the caps are wavy-curved;
• the surface is glossy, young mushrooms have a rich purple hue, old ones fade and become ocher;
• pulp with a mild mushroom taste and aroma reminiscent of anise;
• the plates are purple, thin, densely arranged;
• the legs are dense, in the form of a cylinder, with a thickened base, the structure is fibrous. In old mushrooms, cavities appear in the thickness of the leg;
• the main difference between the fungus is a flocculent bloom and pubescence at the bottom.

Purple rows are quite large, they prefer to grow under fallen, rotting foliage. They meet both singly and in groups.

Amethyst varnish

Lakovica is listed in the Red Book

This mushroom of the Ryadovkovye family belongs to the edible group, but it is rare on the territory of our country, therefore it is listed in the Red Book. Likes to grow on damp ground in a coniferous forest.

It has several distinctive features:

• cap circumference - 1-5 cm, depending on age;
• in young specimens the cap is hemispherical, in old fruiting bodies it is flat;
• the main color is lilac-violet, fades with age;
• the plates are thick, the same color as the cap, later they turn white;
• stem-cylinder, fibrous, lilac;
• in section, the fruit body is violet.

Interesting facts about the purple spider web

Not everyone was fortunate enough to see the gadget with their own eyes, but there are rumors in the circle of mushroom pickers about its interesting features:

1. In a number of regions, the mushroom is listed in the Red Book. Its pages contain information about the extinct and the rarest species of plants, animals and fungi.
2. The technology for making paints often involves the use of cobwebs, since they are considered an environmentally friendly product.
3. The cobweb, from which the mushroom got its name, is necessary to provide a special microclimate for maturing spores. It plays the role of a kind of greenhouse and disappears in adult specimens.
4. The mutual exchange of useful substances occurs between the fungus and the tree with which it created mycorrhiza. The development of most species is possible exclusively in a one-way process, i.e. mushrooms suck vital juices from the tree, but do not give it anything in return.
5. Pharmaceutical companies have learned about the ability of the spider web to lower blood glucose levels. Therefore, it has become an indispensable component in the manufacture of drugs that control hypoglycemia. It is often found in antibiotics and antifungal agents.
6. Culinary connoisseurs rarely get the opportunity to taste an exotic mushroom. If a chance still appears, then it is not added to hot dishes or snacks, since the pulp has a weak aroma.
   Note! Best of all, the taste of the spider web is revealed when salting or pickling.
7. In case of poisoning with poisonous species of cobwebs (beautiful, shiny, mountainous, reddish), the first symptoms may appear after a few days or weeks.

The podbolotnik is listed in the Red Book and is protected by law, as it is very rarely found in nature. This makes it even more attractive in the eyes of lovers of "quiet hunting" who seek to see the unique mushroom with their own eyes.

Blue mushrooms. Time of the blue

What to search?

Purple row (Lepista nuda) is the most recognizable, massive and popular representative of this kind of "perfume" mushrooms.In the south, in terms of recognition it can compete with the "bluefoot", or the lilac-footed row (Lepista personata, nee L.saeva) - a similar, but larger mushroom with a dirty gray cap and a surprisingly bright purple-violet leg.

Purple row as it is (photo by user Zeff)

Looks like a purple ryadovka, simply "titmouse", is very characteristic, but it is not easy to describe its color. For one simple reason: the mushroom is hygrophilous. That is, the cap actively absorbs moisture and changes color depending on the moisture content. So, for example, the wet center of the cap can be brown-purple, and the drying edges - gray-purple.

Where to look?

And this is the southern "bluefoot" (photo by Sergei Prokofiev)

In places trampled by mushroom pickers, the titmouse and its close relatives are driven into unpopular thickets, no matter deciduous or coniferous; it is only important that there is less trampling

What to confuse with?

The easiest way to confuse the purple ryadovka is with its close relatives; this is not scary, many mushroom pickers do not even try to distinguish. In the same places and at the same time, a weed row (Lepista sordida) grows; it is exactly the same, but two times smaller. The row is lilac-legged, the blue-legged (Lepista personata) is larger, it has a nondescript hat and a bright blue leg;

Purple spider web. Really similar? (photo by I. Lebedinsky)

An inexperienced mushroom picker may confuse the purple line with some kind of purple-colored cobweb - for example, a white-violet cobweb (Cortinarius alboviolaceus) or with the purple cobweb itself (Cortinaruis violaceus). Cobwebs are distinguished by a pronounced cobweb (! - sic !!!) veil that protects the plates of young mushrooms, and then remains in the form of bracelets or strokes on the stem.

How to cook?

The blue row is a rather valuable, undoubtedly edible mushroom; he is respected in Europe as well, which should testify to his complete harmlessness. At the same time, it is sometimes indicated that the “titmouse” can have a depressing effect on persons with sensitive digestion, and the authors recommend boiling it for 15-20 minutes. I don't practice that; however, I am not at risk either.

Overripe rowing is gray-blue. It's too late to cook (photo by I. Lebedinsky)

In my opinion, this mushroom is best revealed in the marinade. In the lightest, in the lightest marinade; cook for five minutes, vinegar in brine - purely homeopathic. To emphasize the rather unusual taste of "titmouse" will help cloves (a little!) And coriander. Unlike the smoky talker, the blue ryadovka during cooking does not form an “explosion at a perfume factory”; its aromatic component does not go beyond the bounds of decency.

The podbolnik is almost impossible to confuse with other forest dwellers. It's all about the unusual purple color that extends to every part of the fruiting body. The mushroom has a main feature that will help to accurately identify the cobweb, namely the purple lamellar layer. In all twins, the inner side of the cap is brown, brown and red-brown.

A popular mushroom, with which inexperienced lovers of "quiet hunting" most often confuse the cobweb, is the purple ryadovka. It is classified as a conditionally edible group and requires certain cooking conditions. Over time, the open hat acquires a characteristic depression in the center. In young specimens, it has a deep purple hue, and in adults it gradually fades and fades.

On the inside of the cap there is a lamellar layer of a violet hue, which gradually fades. A characteristic feature of the purple row is white-pink spores. The thick leg is painted in a pale purple hue, and small formations resembling flakes are visible on its surface.

Amethyst lacquer is considered to be the twin of the spider web, even though there are striking differences between the mushrooms.In addition, it belongs to the edible category, so it will not bring any harm to an inattentive mushroom picker.

With age, the lilac hat not only acquires a flat shape, but also fades in the sun. It rests on a thin, slightly curving leg. Moreover, the entire fruit body has the same color, which confuses mushroom pickers. The hymenophore, which is represented by whitish-mealy plates containing white spores, will help to eliminate any suspicions.

The properties of brightly colored entoloma, as well as its effect on humans, are not fully understood. Therefore, the mushroom is considered inedible, and in some countries it is ranked as poisonous. A pointed hat with shallow edges is distinguished by a lilac-brown color, which transforms into brown with age.

The stem of the mushroom is thin, has the same color as the upper part. The whitish, creamy lamellar layer becomes pinkish in adult specimens.

Webcap camphor: photo and description

The camphor webcap (Cortinarius camphoratus) is a lamellar mushroom from the Spiderweb family and the Spiderweb genus. First described in 1774 by Jacob Schaeffer, a German botanist, and named amethyst champignon. Its other names:

• champignon pale purple, from 1783, A. Batsh;
• camphor champignon, since 1821;
• goat's webcap, since 1874;
• amethyst cobweb, L. Kele.

What does a camphor webcap look like?

A feature of this type of fruiting bodies is a cap that is even, as if carved along a compass. The mushroom grows to a medium-sized size.

Group in a pine forest

Description of the hat

The hat is spherical or umbrella-shaped. In young specimens, it is more rounded, with bent edges pulled together by a veil. In adulthood, it straightens, becoming almost straight, with a gentle elevation in the center. The surface is dry, velvety, covered with longitudinal soft fibers. Diameter from 2.5-4 to 8-12 cm.

The color is uneven, with spots and longitudinal stripes, which changes markedly with age. The center is darker, the edges are lighter. The young camphor spider web has a delicate amethyst, light purple color with pale grayish veins. As it matures, it changes to a lavender, almost white, retaining a darker, brownish-purple spot in the middle of the cap.

The pulp is dense, fleshy, colored with alternating white-lilac layers or lavender. Over-olds have a reddish-buffy tint. The plates of the hymenophore are frequent, of different sizes, toothed-accreted, in the early stages of growth, covered with a spider's white-gray veil. In young specimens, they have a pale lilac color, which changes to brown-sandy or ocher. The spore powder is brown.

On the edges of the cap and on the leg, reddish-buffy cobweb-like remains of the bedspread are noticeable

Leg description

The camphor webcap has a dense, fleshy, cylindrical leg, slightly widening towards the root, straight or slightly curved. The surface is smooth, velvety-felt, there are longitudinal scales. The color is uneven, lighter than the cap, white-purple or lilac. Covered with a white downy bloom. The length of the leg is from 3-6 cm to 8-15 cm, the diameter is from 1 to 3 cm.

Where and how it grows

The camphor webcap is common throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Habitat - Europe (British Isles, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, Belgium) and North America. It is also found in Russia, in the northern taiga regions, in Tatarstan, Tver and Tomsk regions, in the Urals and in Karelia.

The camphor webcap grows in spruce forests and next to fir, in coniferous and mixed forests. Usually the colony is represented by a small group of 3-6 specimens freely scattered over the territory.More numerous formations can be seen occasionally. The mycelium bears fruit from late August to October, remaining in one place for several years.

Doubles and their differences

The camphor webcap can be confused with other purple-colored Cortinarius species.

The webcap is white and purple. Conditionally edible mushroom of poor quality. The pulp has an unpleasant musty odor. Its color is lighter, and it is inferior in size to camphor.

The characteristic feature is a club-shaped stem

Goat or goat's webcap. Poisonous. It has a pronounced tuberous stem.

This species is also called smelly because of the indescribable aroma.

The webcap is silvery. Inedible. It is distinguished by a light-colored, almost white, with a bluish tint, a cap.

Inhabits deciduous and mixed forests from August to October

The webcap is blue. Inedible. Differs in a bluer shade of color.

This species prefers to settle next to a birch

Conclusion

The camphor webcap is a toxic lamellar fungus with an unpleasant smelling pulp. It lives everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, in coniferous and mixed forests, forming mycorrhiza with spruce and fir. It grows from September to October. Has inedible counterparts from the blue Webcaps. You cannot eat it.
