Types of metrosideros with a photo

Metrosideros carminea

It belongs to the subgenus Mearnsia and is native to New Zealand. This vine is evergreen and reaches 15 meters in length. It has thin aerial roots. Young stems are covered with a thin red-brown bark, which becomes darker with age. Small glossy leaves are colored dark green. They are oval in shape, and taper slightly towards the end. Carmine flowers (crimson).

Metrosideros collina

Belongs to the subgenus Metrosideros. Under natural conditions, this plant can be found on the islands of the Pacific Ocean from French Polynesia to Vanuatu. This is a rather tall (about 7 meters) shrub or a relatively small tree. Oval leaves are pointed at the ends. Their front side is painted in dark green and has a grayish tint, and the back side is like felt. The flowers are colored deep red.

In this form, there are 2 varieties that are most popular:

• "Tahiti" is a dwarf tree that reaches a height of no more than 100 centimeters;
• "Tahitian sunset" is a mutation of the previous variety, and its foliage has a variegated color.

Spreading metrosideros (Metrosideros diffusa)

Belongs to the subgenus Mearnsia. Homeland is New Zealand. This vine with long shoots (up to 6 meters). Small leaves are only 2 centimeters long. The leaves have an oval-elongated shape, more like ovoid. The glossy front side is painted in deep green, and the back side is matte. The flowers are light pink or white.

Felt metrosideros (Metrosideros excelsa)

Or, as it is also called, pohutukawa - refers to the Metrosideros subgenus. Homeland is New Zealand. It is a tall (up to 25 meters in height) and strongly branched tree. On the branches and trunk of this plant, you can often see aerial, very long roots. Leathery leaves have an oval-elongated shape. In length they reach from 5 to 10 centimeters, and in width - from 2 to 5 centimeters. The seamy side of the leaves is covered with a layer of whitish hairs, which strongly resembles felt. The same layer of hairs is present on the buds. Flowers are dark red-orange. There are varieties with pink or yellow flowers.

Metrosideros brilliant (Metrosideros fulgens)

Belongs to the subgenus Mearnsia. This plant comes from New Zealand. This ligneous vine is branching and very powerful. In length, it can reach about 10 meters, and the trunk is 10 centimeters in diameter. Leathery, smooth green leaves are oval in shape. The flowers are dark red.

Metrosideros operculata

Belongs to the subgenus Mearnsia. Originally from New Caledonia. It is a relatively small shrub that can reach a height of 3 meters. The stems have a square-shaped cross-section, and silky hairs are located on their surface. The leaves have an elliptical-linear shape. They reach 4 centimeters in length and 1 centimeter in width. Often there are specimens with white flowers, but there are also red or pink ones.

Metrosideros sclerocarpa

Belongs to the subgenus Metrosideros. His homeland is Australia. This is a relatively compact tree, which can reach 10 meters in height. Leathery, green leaves are elliptical or ovoid. In length they can reach from 3 to 6.5 centimeters, and in width - about 3 centimeters. The flowers are colored deep red.

Umbrella metrosideros (Metrosideros umbellata)

Belongs to the subgenus Metrosideros. Homeland is New Zealand. This small tree reaches a height of about 10 meters. Green-grayish leaves have a pointed-oval shape.In length, they can reach from 3 to 6 centimeters.

This species is the most undemanding of all to care for. It is very popular with gardeners and has a large number of varieties and hybrids.

Metrosideros polymorpha

Belongs to the subgenus Metrosideros. The homeland is the Hawaiian Islands. Most often, this plant is a highly branching and rather tall shrub, but it also occurs in the form of a tree. The leaves are dark green-grayish to green in color. Their shape is obovate. In length they reach from 1 to 8 centimeters, and in width - from 1 to 5.5 centimeters. Most often, specimens with red flowers are found, but their color is also pink, red-orange or salmon.

Differences between a false morel and a real one

Noble morels and common veselka differ from each other in the following features:

• Coloring the cap. Morel hats vary in color from yellowish to ocher and brown. The hat is dark olive.
• The presence of mucus. Unlike Veselka, morels are not covered with smelly mucus.
• Growth stage. Veselka first forms an egg, from which a mushroom then grows. Morels grow directly from the ground.
• Smell. Morels do not give off a nasty smell to attract insects. They smell, in contrast to veselka, pleasant.

There are not so many differences, but they are very noticeable, so it is unlikely that you will be able to confuse morel with common veselka.

Now you know what a false morel mushroom looks like and how it differs from real morels. Whether it is worth eating this French delicacy is up to you.

False doubles

You should not be afraid of the canine mutinus doubles, because they are also inedible, like this mushroom. The main copy is the Ravenel mutinus, which is distinguished by a more colorful body and white shells of eggs of a young fruiting body. Both varieties are considered edible during the immature, unhatched mushroom stage, but after the appearance of the recipe, they become inedible.

In addition, both species are rare, are listed in the Red Data Books of different regions of Russia, and therefore it is not recommended to eat, trample or pluck them.

Pay attention to the photo

Despite the fact that the mushroom is listed in the Red Book, some gourmets, having found it in the forest, will certainly try to cook and taste it. In this case, you should be especially careful, because it can be confused with a very dangerous and poisonous pale toadstool.

The use of mushroom eggs for food is very dangerous and not justified, such fruit bodies do not differ in special taste.

Similar species

What forest dwellers can you easily confuse boletus with? There can be many options, however, the answer is obvious. The boletus family includes a huge number of mushrooms and species that thrive in forests, moreover, they grow in abundance on the territory of Russia.

Let's get acquainted with the most common species that you can surely meet on your way.

Borovik girlish

This mushroom has a very interesting intricate name. It is edible, and also belongs to the family of paints.

It is a boletus.

Its appearance distantly resembles a semi-white mushroom. Its cap has a maximum diameter of 20 cm. The shape is predominantly convex, and the edges are bent inward.Itself seems quite thin, the hat has a golden hue, much less often red or brown.

The flesh itself is very dense, it also has a blue tint on the cut.

The leg reaches a maximum of 15 cm in height, very thick, up to 6 cm in diameter in thickness.

This species is widespread in southern Europe, however, such boletus cannot be found in large groups. Likes to grow alone. Mainly bears fruit during the early fall stage.

Root boletus

Another representative of the bolet family, the boletus genus. A mushroom that will surely not go unnoticed.

It is very large, the cap can reach a diameter of up to 30 cm. At the very beginning of its growth, it has a conical shape, but then it acquires a flatter shape, the edges are bent inward.

The surface of such a cap is slightly woolly, and can often crack.

The pulp of this mushroom has a lemon-yellow hue, somewhat bluish. It has not the most pleasant smell, but the taste is rather bitter.

The leg is thick, raises the mushroom to a height of 12 cm. It has a yellow tint.

This mushroom is widespread in Europe, and chooses only deciduous forests for its development. Loves calcareous and other neutral soils. He also prefers dryness. It grows from July to October.

Mosswheel green

A mushroom widespread in Russia.

Very beautiful, attracts attention. Despite the name, it belongs to the genus Boletus

This mushroom is easy to spot in the forest. Its cap is small, reaching a diameter of 10 cm. Individuals of 16 cm are very rare. It is somewhat convex and very velvety. The flesh is white, however, turns blue when cut.

The leg itself has a cylindrical shape, which tapers slightly towards the mycelium itself. It is about 10 cm high and up to 2 centimeters thick.

The spore powder is brown, frequent.

This mushroom chooses a variety of forests for its growth. In addition, he also prefers meadows and roads.

The fungus grows singly, and sometimes even in groups. Can form mycorrhiza with deciduous and coniferous trees. He is a cosmopolitan. It is equally often found both in North America, and in Europe and Australia.

Boletus inedible

Inedible boletus can also be found in Russian forests. However, despite the fact that the name contains the word inedible, this mushroom is not poisonous. The fact is that it is unpleasant to cook mainly because of its taste, however, it does not carry any danger to the human body.

In order not to confuse this inedible species with a simple porcini mushroom, you need to carefully study the description.

The hat can be up to 15 cm in diameter. It has a conical shape. Sometimes, slightly convex, the edges curl inward or hang down in waves.

This hat is very smooth to the touch, somewhat matte and wrinkled. The skin has a light brown tint, however, at a young age it already has a brown or gray-brown color.

The flesh itself has a creamy or white tint, however, it can sometimes take on a blue tint at the cut. Bitter enough.

The leg rises 15 cm in height and is about 4 cm thick.

As for the tubular layer of this forest dweller, it has a lemon yellow tint, and a greenish tint also predominates. The spore powder itself has a brown and olive color.

This mushroom is widespread in the south of the European part of Russia, most often it chooses the Kaliningrad region for its place of residence. It is also common in Europe, namely in warm countries, such as Italy or Spain. Mainly chooses coniferous forests, as well as oak and broad-leaved forests, prefers sandy and acidic soils, and also settles in places in parks and lawns.

Mushrooms grow from July to October.

Veselka Ravenelli (Phallus ravenelii)

Synonyms:

Aedycia ravenelii

Veselka Ravenelli (Phallus ravenelii) is a mushroom that belongs to the Veselkov family and the Phallus genus (Veselok).

External description

Initially, the shape of the Veselka Ravenelli (Phallus ravenelii) resembles a pinkish, lilac or purple egg. The "egg" develops rapidly, grows in breadth, and as a result, a fruiting body, shaped like a phallus, grows out of it.The yellowish-white stem of the mushroom is crowned with a cap the size of a thimble. Its width varies from 1.5 to 4 cm, and its height is from 3 to 4.5 cm. The total height of the fruiting body can reach 20 cm. The surface of the cap of Veselka Ravenelli (Phallus ravenelii) is fine-grained, and its edges are connected to the stem by a peri-cap ring. In some specimens, the cap is too wide and becomes tapered. the color of the cap in different specimens can vary from olive green to dark brown.

Mushroom leg - hollow, in height can reach 10-15 cm, and its diameter varies within 1.5-3 cm. in color - white or whitish-yellow.

Veselka Ravenelli's spores (Phallus ravenelii) are characterized by thin walls and a sticky surface, elliptical, smooth, colorless, 3-4.5 * 1-2 microns in size.

Season and habitat of the mushroom

Veselka Ravenelli (Phallus ravenelii) is widespread in eastern North America. Dominates other species west of the Mississippi, found in Costa Rica.

The described species belongs to saprbiotics, therefore it can grow in any habitat where rotting wood is present. The fungus grows well on rotten stumps, wood chips, sawdust. Veselka Ravenelli can often be seen in groups, but there are also specimens growing separately. the species is also common in city flower beds, lawns, meadows, park areas, forests and fields.

Edibility

Veselki Ravenelli (Phallus ravenelii) are considered edible only at a young age, when they look like an egg. Mature specimens exude an unpleasant odor, so seasoned mushroom pickers prefer not to collect them for food.

Similar types and differences from them

Merry Ravenelli (Phallus ravenelii) is often confused with Phallus impudicus and Phallus Hadriani. P. Impudicus differs from the described species in the net structure of the cap, the surface of which is covered with alternating grooves and ridges. As for the main difference of the P. Hadriani species, it consists in the presence of seeds on the cap. This species, in contrast to the Ravanelli merry, can be found very rarely.

Another similar mushroom belongs to the species Itajahya galericulata. It has a spherical cap, the surface of which is covered with several layers of spongy tissue, between which a loose inner tissue - gleba - is clamped.

The next species, similar to the one described, is called Phallus rugulosus. This mushroom is thin, it has a higher height, a light orange color of the fruiting body, a stem that tapers near the cap and a smooth surface of the cap itself. It grows in China, as well as in the southern and eastern parts of the United States.

granulosodenticulatus is a species of Brazilian mushroom that is rare and similar to Ravanelli in appearance. Its fruiting bodies are smaller and do not exceed 9 cm in height. The cap has a serrated edge, and the spores are large, measuring 3.8-5 * 2-3 microns.

Other information about the mushroom

Mushroom gleb gives off a characteristic unpleasant odor that attracts insects to the plant. they sit on sticky, spore-bearing areas of the fruiting body, eat, and then transfer fungal spores on their paws to other places.

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.

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, he 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 course 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 it is no more than 1 cm in diameter. By 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.

Double mesh, she is a lady with a veil (+7 photos)

Just now, they made a report on the world around with the heir. The topic was: a mushroom listed in the Red Book. Double mesh.

Bloody infection!

But very rare.

The mushroom is generally tropical and is mostly found in the jungle. How he got to us is a mystery. But then it skidded, got accustomed ...

Lovers can try to grow in their garden - the netkonoska especially loves to grow under pears. But she is capricious, picky about the climate, and does not produce a stalk every year, so she will have to suffer. However, for the sake of the photos presented below, it is probably worth tormenting. Because in the forest you can't find him at all, unless in a nature reserve, in the Moscow region or in Transbaikalia ...

1.

This is an early, young mushroom. The people are affectionately called ‘witch's eggs’. By the way, at this stage it is edible even raw. The people consume it in a finely chopped form with sour cream, if that.

The "egg" lies to itself, does not bother anyone until the spores mature. When the spores mature, the ‘egg’ swells and bursts before our eyes. A dense green hat appears on a white leg.

3.

It grows rapidly - 5 mm per minute. In two to three hours it reaches sizes up to 30 centimeters and above. Then, from under the hat, it almost instantly falls to the very ground and a beautiful mesh veil unfolds in a skirt. Because of which the mushroom is also called ‘lady with a veil’

4. Below are various portraits of these ladies. Really, pretty girls?

True, they do not smell like French perfume. The smell is unbearably disgusting to the human nose. This is how carrion smells. Rotten and fermented.

This is all in order to attract flies and other unpleasant insects. They flock, feast on the mucus covering the mushroom, and at the same time spread spores.

At night, the veil glows with a bright emerald light (I would like to see it! Photo - I could not find it ...) This is so that instead of daytime flies, night flies flew. Disputes must be carried at night, no question.

And by morning the lady with the veil is literally a wet place.

After ripening, this magnificent mushroom-flower lives only a day ...

Scientific classification

Kingdom: Mushrooms
Department: Basidiomycota
Class: Agaricomycetes
Order: Merry Family: Merry
Genus: Veyolka Type: Adriana Veselyka

Description of Adrian's Veselka

Adrian's jaunty is generally very similar to the more common and much more common Phallus impudicus. This is a cap mushroom with a height of 12-20 cm.
The young fruiting body is half hidden in the ground, has an ovoid or spherical shape with a diameter of 4-7 cm, at the base with mycelial strands reaching several mm in thickness and resembling plant roots in appearance.
Peridium (egg shell) - leathery, smooth, folded below. At the beginning it is white, closer to ripening - purple or pink-violet (this is how it differs from the common jolly).

The intensity of the color increases if you take the egg in your hands, as well as under the influence of unfavorable factors - dry air, sudden changes in temperature, humidity, etc. Inside, Veselka Adrian's egg is filled with gelatinous mucus that has a specific smell of dampness. When the peridium ripens, the egg breaks into two or three parts and looks like a volva. At the same time, the mucus becomes more liquid and flowing out, contributes to the opening of the receptacle (fruiting body), which until this moment is inside the egg in a state compressed like a spring (hence the unprecedented growth rate of the jellyfish).
The germinated (mature) fruiting body of Phallus hadriani consists of a leg-like receptacle, cylindrical, thickened towards the bottom, hollow inside, with spongy walls, white or yellowish-white, cream color, 12-20 cm high and 3-4 cm in diameter. At the top of the recipe there is a bell-shaped cap 2-5 cm high, with a distinct cellular surface, covered with olive gleb.
Gleb, as the mushroom matures, liquefies, while the mushroom emits a strong nut-yeast odor, reminiscent of the smell of sour dough. However, some people find this smell pleasant. At the top of the cap there is an irregularly shaped white circle with a hole at the top point.

Spore powder P. hadriani olive color, spores measuring 3.5 x 1.5-2.5 micrometers; smooth, elliptical, oblong. The smell of spore fluid attracts various insects, including flies, bees, beetles, ants, and slugs. Insects, using spore-containing mucus, promotes the spread of spores, sometimes over considerable distances. Spores, passing intact through the digestive tract of insects, are expelled along with their feces.
Adrian's Veselyka mushroom is edible at a young age (at the egg stage), however, some sources claim that the mushroom is edible also in adulthood, after opening. In this case, when using mature mushrooms for food, it is recommended to wash off the spore-containing mucus, otherwise the dish may turn into the color of a swamp mess.

Habitat where it grows

Hadrian's jolly can be found on almost all continents, well, except perhaps except for South America and the poles.
The fungus is found in Europe (Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Latvia, Poland, Norway, Slovakia, Sweden, Ukraine, Belarus), Asia (Turkey, Japan, China) and North America. In Australia, too, here it is considered imported from Europe. On the territory of Russia, it comes across most often in the southern regions of the European part (Eastern Europe). Fruiting bodies appear singly or in small groups. It grows on sandy soil, in dunes, and is quite rare on lawns, gardens, parks. The fruiting season is from May to September - October. Adrian's Merry is protected (or protected during certain periods) as a rare mushroom in some countries, such as Latvia, Poland; and is also listed in the Red Regional Books of the Kaliningrad Region and the Republic of Tuva.

The medicinal properties of the mushroom

The medicinal properties of Veselka ordinary are also inherent in Veselka Adrian. But since this mushroom is much less common than Phallus impudicus, scientific research with it is not carried out.

Description

A bisected egg

Close-up of cap and stalk surfaces

The cap has a white open circlet at the top.

The mushroom begins its development in the form of pink-, lilac-, or purple-tinged "eggs" that resemble a puffball. The egg expands rapidly to form a phallus-shaped structure with a yellowish-white stalk and thimble-like cap. The cap ranges from 1.5 to 4 cm (0.6 to 1.6 in) in width and 3 to 4.5 cm (1.2 to 1.8 in) in height; the entire fruit body can reach heights of 20 cm (7.9 in). The cap texture is finely granular and it is attached to a white open circlet at the top where it meets the stalk. In some specimens, this opening is relatively large with a broad margin, and gives the mushroom a truncated appearance. Microscopically, the cap surfaces comprises minute cells and cavities, with a spongy structure similar to that of the stem, but with smaller perforations than the stem. The lower margin of the cap is free from attachment to the stalk, and there is sometimes a membranous veil suspended like a collar around the stem under the cap; the veil can be of varying lengths. This veil can be seen in dissected eggs where it is present as a distinct, thin membranous tissue between the stalk and the cap before expansion. In this form, the veil is continuous from its attachment with the "primordial tissue" at the base of the stalk and volva below to the tip of the stem at the point where it joins the cap. The veil produced in P. ravenelli is distinct from the flaring, net-like indusium produced by Phallus species like P. indusiatus.Gleba covers the head and is olive-green to dark brown in color, slimy in texture, and foul smelling. The spores measure 3 to 4.5 µm by 1 to 2 µm, are colorless, elliptical in shape, and smooth in texture. They are thin-walled and covered with a thin, hyaline (transparent), sticky coating.

Sclerotia and rhizomorphs

The stalk is hollow and measures 10 to 15 cm (3.9 to 5.9 in) tall and 1.5 to 3 cm (0.6 to 1.2 in) thick. It can range in color from slightly yellowish to white. At the stalk's base there is usually a white to pink volva (a sac-like cup). When immature, the fruit body is encapsulated within the volva present as a peridium (skin-like tissue layer), which ruptures as the mushroom emerges. The volva attaches to the substrate with whitish or pinkish rhizomorphs (thick, cord-like strands of mycelia). Rhizomorphs and mycelia that are exposed to air eventually turn whitish in color; those freshly exposed from their substrate usually quickly turn bluish purple. The fungus produces watery and fleshy sclerotia that range in thickness from 1 to 10 mm with a length of up to 30 mm. The sclerotia are irregularly convoluted and lobed, and become hard and horny upon drying. Sclerotia have a color reaction similar to that noted for rhizomorphs, and, after long exposure to air, will gradually turn a uniform dark reddish brown.Phallus ravenelli is considered edible if in the egg form, and has a "mild" taste. The foul odor of mature mushrooms would dissuade most from collecting for the table.

Canine mutinus (Mutinus caninus)

• Cynophallus caninus
• Ithyphallus inodorus
• Phallus caninus

Canine mutinus (lat.Mutinus caninus) is a saprobic species of Basidiomycete fungi (Basidiomycota) of the Phallaceae family. Type species of the genus mutinus.

Description

Fruit body: in the first stage, the canine mutinus is ovoid, oval, 2-3 cm in diameter, light or yellowish with a root process. When ripe, the skin of the egg breaks into 2 - 3 petals, which remain the vagina at the base of the "leg". In the second stage, a cylindrical hollow spongy "leg" 5-10 (15) cm in height and about 1 cm in diameter with a pointed fine tuberous tip grows from an open egg. The stem has a light, yellowish color, and the tip is colored in a thicker red-orange color. When ripe, the tip becomes covered with brown-olive cellular mucus (spore-bearing). The unpleasant strong smell of carrion, which the fungus emits, attracts insects (mainly flies) that carry spores on their bodies and legs. The spore powder of the canine mutin is colorless.

Pulp: porous, very tender.

Habitat: Canine mutinus grows from the last decade of June to October in deciduous forests on humus-rich soil, in shrubs, near rotting wood, in humid places, after warm rains, in a group, not often in the same place, infrequently.

An inedible mushroom, although some have argued that when the mushroom is still in its egg shell, it is edible.

Similarity: with the more rare mutinus Ravenelli

Mutinus ravinelii is inedible when grown up. The fruit body of the mutinus mushroom is a hollow stem tapering upward, up to 8-12 cm long, 1-2 cm thick. The surface of the leg is first white with pink dots, then pink fine-mesh. The upper part of the leg ends with a red head, which is later covered with a thick layer of spore-bearing mucus of olive or marsh green color with the smell of carrion. The lower part of the leg is in the remains of the egg from which the fruiting body has grown. The egg is attached to a white tapered strand of mycelium. The fruit body grows from a 1.5 x 2 cm egg, which is considered edible.

Grows in deciduous forests, parks or gardens under aspen or hazel. The fungus is not mycorrhizal, but, according to experts, it supplies plants with water, storing it in the rain in its mycelium.

Occurs from July to September. Rare view.

Conclusion

Mutinus is an inedible mushroom. Some people think it can be eaten when it is in the egg stage. But you should not risk your health, because there are many cases of poisoning.

It is easy to recognize by the unusual shape of the egg from which the leg sprouts; this organism does not have a habitual hat. Its distinctive feature is a pungent rotten smell that attracts insects.
