Dark honey agaric (Armillaria ostoyae)

Honey agaric dark (lat. Armillaria ostoyae) belongs to the genus Mushroom mushrooms. It is also called differently unpaved. It grows in forests of mixed type, rich in rotting wood. Likes to settle at the base of stumps and fallen trunks.

The yellowish hat of the dark agaric in diameter reaches ten centimeters. As the fungus grows, it becomes dense with a convex. On the cap there are inclusions of scales, and its edges hang down in the form of a white fringed bedspread. The legs of the mushroom are very high, with a thickening at the end. The presence of a ring is noted on the legs.

The emerging spore powder acquires an ocher color. The white flesh is odorless.

Honey agaric hard spruce is the edible and most recognizable species of the genus Honey agaric. In appearance, it is very similar to the edible autumn honey agaric, which has a yellow membranous ring on the stem and a smoother hat with a honey-yellow color. The fungus grows in large groups on dead tree trunks, near pine and spruce rotten stumps. The value of this edible mushroom is low, as it has a hard pulp and a rather bitter taste. The mushroom is decorated with a thin, rounded brownish hat planted on a long cylindrical stalk with a white-brown ring. Agaric dark spruce actively bears fruit from late summer to mid-autumn.
