Description of psatirella globular
In young mushrooms, the shape of the cap is convex, hemispherical, sometimes bell-shaped, but as it grows, it opens and becomes half-open. There are often scraps of bedspreads along the edges of the cap. The diameter of the cap is small - from 2 to 6 centimeters. The structure of the cap is hygrophane, that is, it absorbs moisture. The color of the cap is very dependent on the humidity of the weather.
In rainy weather, the color of the hat is chocolate, and in dry weather it becomes creamy. The colors are often zoned.
The color of the flesh is whitish-cream. The pulp does not have a special taste and smell. The pulp is relatively tough, fragile, thin. The plates are adherent, often located, in young specimens of light color, but when the spores mature, the plates darken and turn dark brown. In damp weather, droplets of liquid may come out of the plates. The color of the spore powder is violet-brown.
The leg is smooth, although hollow inside, but rather dense. The height of the leg reaches 3-8 centimeters, with a thickness of no more than 0.7 cm. The color of the leg is whitish. There is a false ring at the top of the leg. Curved legs are common. The upper part of the leg is covered with a mealy bloom, and the lower part is light brown.
Spread of psatirella globular
These mushrooms grow on woody remains. They can be found on tree stumps in deciduous and coniferous forests, and near tree stumps in damp places. Spherical psatirella settle in large colonies, while uniting in bundles. Fruiting time lasts from June to October.
Edible psatirella globular
Psatirella globular is not considered a poisonous mushroom, but it is not considered edible either. It has no culinary value.
Similarity to other mushrooms
Psatirella globular differs from other representatives of the genus Psatirella in the brown color of the cap and in the places of growth.
Psatirella globular resembles gray-brown psatirella, but the latter is larger and grows less massively. The summer honey agaric also has a hygrophilous hat and a similar color, but there are quite a few differences in this case.
Bordered gallerina is a small brown fungus, which also has common features with globular psatirella, but the main difference is the color of the spore powder - in bordered gallerina it is rusty brown, and in psatirella, as noted, it is violet-brown.
Other mushrooms of the genus
Psatirella wadded has a conical cap at a young age, and with age it opens and reaches almost to the open. The cap is very cracked, and white flesh can be seen from under the dark skin, which makes the mushroom seem cottony.
The skin of the cap is brownish-gray. And the bottom of the hat is white. There may be remnants of a white blanket around the edges of the cap. The leg is cylindrical in shape, 3-6 centimeters high, with a width of 0.5 centimeters. The upper part of the leg is narrower, white in color, and darker at the bottom. The leg is covered with small scales.
Psatirella cotton is not very common. Typically, these mushrooms grow in dry spruce forests. They bear fruit around the middle of autumn. They settle in large numbers, in large groups. There is no information about the edibility of the Pasatirella, most likely it is classified as an inedible species.
Psatirella Candolla or Candoll's pseudofoam has a bell-shaped cap at a young age, then it becomes relatively open with a small tubercle in the center. The diameter of the cap is 3-7 cm. The color of the cap varies from white to yellow-brown.
White flakes hang around the edges of the cap - the remains of the bedspread. The leg is cylindrical, hollow, slightly pubescent in the lower part. The color of the leg is whitish-cream. Its length is 7-10 centimeters with a thickness of 0.4-0.8 centimeters.
Psatirella Condole bears fruit from May to early autumn. These mushrooms grow in mixed and deciduous forests, settling mainly on stumps and roots of deciduous trees. They grow in large groups. In old sources, these mushrooms appear as inedible and even poisonous, but in modern literature they are considered quite edible mushrooms that need preliminary boiling.
Description of psatirella Candoll
In young psatirella Candoll, the cap has a bell-shaped shape, over time it becomes relatively open, while a smooth slight elevation remains in the center. The diameter of the cap ranges from 3 to 7 centimeters. The color of the cap varies from white to yellow-brown. There are specific flakes along the edges of the cap, which are the remains of the bedspread.
The pulp is brittle, thin, whitish-brown in color. The pulp has a pleasant mushroom aroma. The plates of young fruiting bodies are grayish in color; as the fungus matures, they become darker and reach a dark brown color. The plates are densely planted, they grow to the stem.
Spore powder of purple-brown color, almost black. The leg is cylindrical, hollow, with a small fluff at the bottom. The color of the leg is whitish-cream. The leg length is 7-10 centimeters with a thickness of 0.4-0.8 centimeters.
Spread of Candoll's false-horns
These mushrooms bear fruit from May until autumn. They grow in deciduous and mixed forests, as well as in parks and gardens. You can find Candoll's psatirella on the stumps and roots of deciduous trees. They grow in numerous groups.
With the onset of summer, Candoll's false heaps begin to compete for territory with shimmering dung beetles. And the dung beetles win, they choose the sunny side, and Candoll's psatirella grows in the shade.
Edible psatirella Candoll
Psatirella Candolla in old sources was referred to as inedible and even poisonous species, but today it is believed that they can be eaten after long boiling, therefore they are classified as conditionally edible mushrooms.
Similarity to other mushrooms
A distinctive feature of Candoll's mushroom is the remains of the bedspread present on the edges of the cap. But sometimes the remains of the bedspread are not preserved, in this case Candolle's psatirella is distinguished from different types of mushrooms by the places of growth - the former grows on dead wood, in numerous groups. In addition, Candoll's mushroom does not have a clearly defined ring on the leg.
Psatirella Candolla differs from representatives of the genus Agrocybe in a darker color of spore powder. But it should be borne in mind that Candoll's mushrooms are very changeable mushrooms, they can have completely different colors, which depends on the temperature, humidity and places where the fruit chalk grows. However, Candoll's mushrooms are completely different from the popular, edible mushrooms.
Other mushrooms of this genus
Psatirella gray-brown has a spherical cap at a young age, but then it opens and becomes almost prostrate. The hat is small - 3-6 centimeters in diameter. In young mushrooms, the edges of the caps are covered with a fringe, which is the remnants of a bedspread.
In dry weather, the caps often crack. A small tubercle sometimes remains in the center of the cap, but it can be seen very rarely, as a rule, in thin-fleshy fruit chalk. The color of the cap is very variable, it depends on the weather conditions. In color, any shades of brown and gray can be observed. In dry weather, the cap generally fades and turns yellow. The height of the leg is 4-8 centimeters, and the diameter reaches 0.8 centimeters, which is quite a lot in comparison with other types of psatirella. The leg is flat, cylindrical, whitish in color, its surface is covered with scales.
Psatirella gray-brown begins to bear fruit in early May. These mushrooms grow on decaying wood. They settle in rather scattered groups, sometimes they can grow together with each other. Fruiting occurs in waves, the last stage is observed in mid-October.The fungus is an edible member of the genus.
Psatirella is water-loving, she is spherical psatirella has a cap with a diameter of 2-5 centimeters. The pulp is thin, watery, brown in color, with a bitter taste, without a pronounced odor.
Psatirella water-loving bears fruit from September to November. Inhabits the remains of deciduous wood, in a more rare case, it is found on needles. This is an inedible species.
As it grows, the cap changes from bell-shaped to almost flat, with a rounded tubercle in the central part and cracking edges. The skin is dry, smooth. The color of the cap is dark brown or yellow-brown. The length of the leg is 4-8 centimeters, with a diameter of 0.5-0.8 centimeters. The leg is hollow inside, often curved. The surface of the leg is silky, its lower part is light brown with a powdery coating of white.
Gray lamellar honey fungus (Hypholoma capnoides)
- Other names for the mushroom:
- False foil seroplate
- Poppy honey
- Poppy
- Gifoloma poppy
- Gifoloma ocher-orange
Synonyms:
Seroplate honey fungus (Latin Hypholoma capnoides) is an edible mushroom from the genus Hypholoma of the Strophariaceae family.
Cap of seroplate honeydew:
A diameter of 3-7 cm, from hemispherical in the youngest mushrooms to convex-outstretched at maturity, often with remnants of a private veil along the edges. The cap itself is hygrophane, its color strongly depends on humidity: in dry mushrooms it is dull yellow with a more saturated middle, in wet mushrooms it becomes brighter, light brown. As it dries, it begins to brighten symmetrically from the edges. The flesh of the cap is thin, whitish, with a faint odor of dampness.
Plates:
Frequent, adherent, white-yellowish in young fruit bodies, acquiring the characteristic color of poppy seeds as they grow older.
Spore powder:
Brown violet.
The peduncle of the gray-lamellar mushroom:
5-10 cm in height, 0.3 - 0.8 cm in thickness, cylindrical, often curved, with a rapidly disappearing ring, yellow in the upper part, rusty brown in the lower part.
Spreading:
Gray lamellar honey fungus is a typical tree fungus. Its fruiting bodies grow in bunches on stumps and roots hidden in the ground. It grows only in coniferous forests, most often on pine and spruce, both in the lowlands and high in the mountains. It is especially abundant in mountain spruce forests. The honey fungus is widespread throughout the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. You can collect it from spring to autumn, and often in mild winters. It grows like a "honey agaric", in large intergrowths, meeting, perhaps, not so often, but quite abundantly.
Similar species:
Several common species of the genus Hypholoma, as well as, in some cases, summer honey fungus, are similar to the seroplate honeydew. It is, first of all, a poisonous pseudo-froth (hypholoma) sulfur-yellow with yellow-green plates, a cap with sulfur-yellow edges and a sulfur-yellow flesh. Next comes the pseudo-froth - brick-red hypholoma (H. sublateriiium) with yellow-brown plates and a brown-red cap, growing in bunches in summer and autumn in deciduous forests and outside the forest, especially on oak and beech stumps. Even without knowing the mushroom, it is only by formal signs that Hypholoma capnoides can be distinguished from the sulfur-yellow honey fungus (Hypholoma fasciculare): the one has green plates, and the gray-plastic one has poppy-gray. The rooted hypholoma (Hypholoma radicosum) mentioned in some sources, in my opinion, is completely different.
Edibility:
Seroplate honeydew has a reputation for being a good edible mushroom. In my opinion, it is very similar to the summer mushroom; old specimens take on a musty, raw taste.

Gray-lamellar millet - a good edible mushroom has a blue-gray, poppy-colored, lamellar, yellow-brown cap, whitish flesh and a pleasant taste.
The seroplate honeydew for me was and remains the "second summer honeydew". When we were introduced, they told me so - here they say you are another summer honey agaric, which grows on pine stumps. I believed, which, however, I still do not regret. And what?..
