Hat (diameter 4-7 cm): yellow or ochre. Slightly convex or almost completely prostrate. The edges are lighter than the center, often with the remains of a bedspread.

Alder flake or alder moth grows from mid-August to early October.
Where can I find: Alder flake is found in deciduous forests on tree roots and rotten stumps. Prefers the neighborhood of alder, willow and birch.
Eating: since strong bitterness does not disappear even with heat treatment, alder flakes are not eaten.
Application in traditional medicine: does not apply.
