On the inside, the lattice is red, covered with a greenish-olive mucous gleba. The mushroom has an unpleasant smell.

Spread:

Red trellis grows singly or in nests on the soil in broad-leaved forests, very rarely in mixed forests. Found once in the Moscow region, occasionally found in the Krasnodar Territory. In adjacent territories in Transcaucasia and Crimea. The introduction of the species to other regions of Our Country is possible. For example, in the greenhouses of the Botanical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of Our Country in Leningrad, in flower tubs, the fruiting bodies of the red trellis and the Javanese flower tail, brought with the earth along with date palms from Sukhumi, repeatedly appeared in flower tubs. Also, with the earth, a red trellis was also brought to the greenhouses of the city of Gorno-Altaisk in Siberia. Under favorable conditions, acclimatization is also possible in such cases, and, consequently, the emergence of a new habitat for fungi.
