Hanger’s hat:
4-10 cm in diameter, convex when young, opening to funnel-shaped with age, although not always. The color is quite variable, from white to yellowish-gray, it can vary significantly depending on the growing conditions and the specific “strain”. The surface is smooth, dry or slightly moist, shiny (the latter variety is sometimes called Clitopilius prunulus var. orcellus), not hygrophanous and not zoned. The flesh of the cap is white, thick, elastic, with a strong mealy (or maybe cucumber) smell.
Records:
Private, descending on the leg, hat colors; with age, as the spores mature, they turn slightly pink (judging by the suffering with the definition of the fungus, it is not always noticeable).
spore powder:
Pink.
Leg:
Height 3-6 cm, thickness about 1 cm (in rare cases up to 1,5 cm), uneven, often curved, solid. Color – like a hat or a little lighter, the flesh of the leg is white, fibrous.
Spread:
Various varieties of Heathweed are found from July to the end of September everywhere in forests of various types, in light forests, among grass, invariably preferring acidic soils. The fungus forms mycorrhiza, usually with pink flowers, but it can also be found in spruce forests without the slightest trace of apple and cherry trees.
Similar species:
The genus Clitopilius contains a huge number of species, many of which are extremely similar to Clitopilius prunulus and differ only in microscopic characters. Another thing is that many white talkers can look like a wonderful cherry mushroom. Important distinguishing features can be pinking plates (alas, not always and not much), a non-hygrofan hat without concentric circles (excellent protection against poisonous waxy talker (Clitocybe cerussata) / leaf-loving (Clitocybe phyllophila)). In general, it is important to understand that cherry is a mushroom, very similar to a large white fox, but smelling of flour or cucumbers.
