Common webcap: photo and description

The common webcap (lat.Cortinarius trivialis) is a small mushroom of the Cobweb family. The second name - Pribolotnik - he received for preference to growing conditions. It is found in wet, swampy areas.

A detailed description of the Common Webcap with photos and videos is presented below.

Description of the common webcap

The mushroom was called a cobweb for a kind of "veil" of a cobweb film that is present in young specimens. The rest of the appearance is unremarkable.

Description of the hat

Pribolotnik's cap is small: 3-8 cm in diameter. At the initial stage of development, it has the shape of a hemisphere, which is later revealed. The color of the cap ranges from pale yellow tones to ocher and light brown shades. The core is darker than the edges.

The cap is sticky to the touch, there is a small amount of mucus on it. The surface of the hymenophore is lamellar. In young fruit bodies, it is white, and in mature specimens it darkens to yellowish and brown tones.

The pulp is dense and fleshy, white, with a harsh odor.

Leg description

The leg is 6-10 cm in height, the diameter is 1.5-2 cm. Slightly narrowed towards the base. There are specimens with a reverse structure - there is a small expansion at the bottom. The color of the leg is white, closer to the ground it darkens to a brown tint. Above from the cobweb blanket are brown concentric fibrous bands. From the middle of the leg to the base - weakly expressed.

Where and how it grows

Podbolnik can be found under birches and aspens, rarely under alder. It rarely lives in coniferous forests. Grows singly or in small groups in damp places.

In Russia, the distribution area of ​​the species falls on the middle climatic zone.

Fruiting from July to September.

Edible webcap common or not

The nutritional properties of the Common Webcap have not been studied, but it does not apply to edible mushrooms. This species cannot be eaten.

Related specimens contain dangerous toxins in the pulp.

Poisoning symptoms, first aid

The danger of toxic species of this family is that the first signs of poisoning appear gradually: up to 1-2 weeks after eating mushrooms. Symptoms look like this:

• intense thirst;
• nausea, vomiting;
• stomach ache;
• spasms in the lumbar region.

If you find the first signs of poisoning, you must urgently consult a doctor or call an ambulance. Before receiving qualified treatment, you need to:

• flush the stomach using activated charcoal;
• plentiful drink (3-5 tbsp. boiled water in small sips);
• take a laxative to cleanse the intestines.

Doubles and their differences

The podbolnik is confused with other members of the family, as they are quite similar. The greatest similarity is noted with the mucous webcap (lat.Cortinarius mucosus).

The hat is 5-10 cm in diameter. It has a thin edge and a thick center, abundantly covered with transparent mucus. The leg is slender, cylindrical, 6-12 cm long, 1-2 cm thick.

It differs from Pribolotnik in abundant mucus and the shape of a cap.

Grows in coniferous and mixed forests under pine trees. Bears fruit singly.

The slime webcap (lat.Cortinarius mucifluus) is another twin of the Pribolotnik, which is confused with the mucous webcap because of a similar name. The hat with a diameter of 10-12 cm is abundantly covered with mucus. The stem is 20 cm long in the form of a spindle, also covered with mucus. Prefers coniferous forests.

It differs from Pribolotnik in abundant mucus and a longer leg.

Conclusion

The common webcap is an inedible mushroom, its properties have not been fully studied. Can be confused with other members of the family, the use of which is not recommended. The greatest similarity is noted with the Slime Webcap and the Slime Webcap, but they can be distinguished by their cap. In the latter, it is abundantly covered with mucus.

Taxonomy, characteristics and description of the structure

The most beautiful cobweb (Latin name Cortinarius rubellus) is a lamellar mushroom representing the genus Cobweb, the Cobweb family, the Agaricomycete class. Another name is reddish cobweb.

The size of the cap in adult specimens varies from 3 to 8 cm in diameter. Its shape at a young age is conical, then it becomes flat or completely convex, in the center there is a small obtuse tubercle. The surface is velvety, dry, sometimes scaly to the edges, the color is from purple-brown to red and brown. The lower part of the cap (hymenophore) consists of rare, thick plates adhered to it, carrot-brown in color in young mushrooms and rusty-brown in mature ones.

The pulp is yellow-orange, has no taste, the smell is weak and rare, sometimes absent.

The leg is 5 to 12 cm long and 0.5 to 1.5 cm thick, has a cylindrical shape, slightly thickens downward. Its surface is fibrous, orange-brown in color, with remnants of a bedspread in the form of belts.

Description of the saffron webcap

The diameter of the cap of the saffron spider web reaches 7 centimeters. Its shape is convex at the initial stage of development, but later it becomes almost flat. There is a tubercle in the center of the cap. The cap is silky-fibrous. Its color is reddish-brown, and its edges are yellow-brown.

The pulp is usually odorless and tasteless, but sometimes the smell can be a little sparse. The plates are adherent with teeth. The color of the plates is at first dark yellow, orange-yellow, brown-yellow or red-yellow, with time it turns red-brown. The spores are warty, ellipsoidal. The color of the spores is rusty brown.

The leg is 3-7 centimeters long, its diameter is no more than 0.7 centimeters. Its shape is cylindrical. Its surface is silky. The color of the upper part of the leg is the same as that of the plates, and the lower part is orange-brown.

Distribution of chestnut brown spider webs

Saffron cobwebs grow in coniferous forests. They are found near swamps, along the edges of roads, on chernozem soils and in areas covered with heather.

Saffron cobwebs are not eaten, they are inedible mushrooms.

Related species

In this family, there are a fairly large number of species that differ in the shape of the cap, color and the presence of rings.

The webcap is orange or apricot yellow - an inedible species. The cap is initially convex, after which it becomes prostrate. Its diameter reaches 8 centimeters. The surface of the cap is uneven, slightly sticky. The color of the cap is brown-yellow, orange-brown, orange-ocher. Leg length 6-10 centimeters. The leg is silky, cylindrical in shape. The pulp is dense, thick, without a special smell, yellow in color.

Orange cobwebs bear fruit from August to September. They can be found in spruce and pine forests. They are rare.

The bluish-belted webcap is an inedible mushroom. The hat does not exceed 8 centimeters in diameter. A small bump is often visible in the center of the cap. The color of the cap is brown or grayish with a blue tint. Purple spots may be present around the edges. The leg has the shape of a cylinder, a belt is visible in the center. Its height reaches 10 centimeters. There is often a lot of mucus on the stem, but it dries up in dry weather. The pulp is dense, tasteless, odorless.

Spiderwebs grow bluish-belted in deciduous forests, and are rarely found in conifers. These mushrooms settle on moist soils, especially those with a high calcium content. They grow in groups. Harvest time is August-September.

Description

Lamellar cap mushroom with a cobweb blanket. The cap of adult mushrooms reaches 1-6 cm in diameter, in young mushrooms it is hemispherical to conical, then opens to flat, in the center with a noticeable tubercle. The surface is velvety-fibrous or scaly-fibrous, red-brown or yellow-brown, then with an ocher-yellow, paler edge. The plates of the hymenophore are adhered to the peduncle with a tooth, in young mushrooms richly lemon-yellow or orange, then, when the spores mature, olive brown and rusty brown.

Cortina is lemon yellow.

The pulp is of various shades of yellow, bitter or insipid in taste, with a pleasant or unpleasant odor, described as sparse or iodoform.

The leg reaches 3-10 cm in length and 0.3-1 cm in thickness, cylindrical or widening downwards, with a silky-fibrous lemon-or ocher-yellow surface, with remnants of cortina, covered with rusty-brown spores in adult fungi. Mycelium at the base of the peduncle is yellowish.

Rusty brown spore print. Spores 6-10 × 3.5-6 microns, elliptical, with an uneven surface. Cheilocystids are clavate.

Similar species

The saffron webcap belongs to a group of species that clearly differ only in microscopic characteristics. Outwardly, only the cinnamon spiderweb stands out from this group (Cortinarius cinnamomeus (L.) Gray, 1821), characterized by bright orange plates of young mushrooms.

• Cortinarius cinnamomeoluteus P.D. Orton, 1960 is distinguished by larger spores, the plates of this species are usually brownish.
• Cortinarius croceifolius Peck, 1911 - North American species resembling Cortinarius semisanguineus, however with yellow plates.
• Cortinarius croceus subsp. norvegicus (Høil.) Brandrud & H. Lindstr., 1990 - distributed in Northern Europe. It is distinguished by more intense yellow plates, a red-brown cap and a shorter stem.
• Cortinarius olivaceofuscus Kühner, 1955 is distinguished by a darker brown color, yellow-brown plates.
