Globular rot (Marasmius wynneae) – an edible mushroom from the genus Negniuchnikov, the main synonym for the name of which is the Latin term Marasmius globularis Fr.

The spherical rotten (Marasmius wynneae) differs from other varieties of mushrooms of this genus in the white color of the cap, sparsely located plates. The diameter of the caps is 2-4 cm. In shape, the mushroom caps are initially convex, but a little later they become prostrate, with a ribbed edge. At first, the caps of the globular non-blight are white, sometimes they can be gray-purple. The hymenophore plates are located high, sparse, and can be either white or grayish in color. The length of the stem of mushrooms of this species is short, only 2.5-4 cm, while its thickness is 1.5-2.5 mm. at the top it is slightly expanded, lighter in color. In general, the leg of the described fungus has a brownish or darkish tint. Mushroom spores have no color, they are ellipsoid in shape, 6-7 * 3-3.5 microns in size, smooth to the touch.

Globular rotten (Marasmius wynneae) actively bears fruit in the summer and autumn months, from July to October. In some areas, this type of fungus is quite common. Globular non-rotters grow well in coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests, on fallen coniferous needles and leaves. Also, these mushrooms can be seen on lawns and in shrubs.

Globular rot (Marasmius wynneae) is an edible mushroom that can be consumed in any form, preferably boiled or salted.

Sometimes the globular non-rotten can be confused with the edible small garlic (Marasmius scorodonius). True, in the latter, the hat is colored meat-red-brown, there is a pronounced smell of garlic, and the hymenophore plates are located quite often.
