head 1-3,5 cm in diameter. In a young mushroom, it has a bell-shaped shape, then it opens and becomes flat-convex, with a pointed tubercle formed in the center. Growth is completely cracking. Has an umber brown color.
Pulp has a whitish color and does not change its color in the air. In the stem it is also whitish in color, but in the case of autooxidation it can become brownish with an unpleasant odor.
The lamellae are nearly pedunculated, usually often spaced, and clay brown in color.
Leg has 2-4 cm in length and 0,2-0,5 cm in thickness. Its color is the same as that of the hat. It has a cylindrical shape with a slightly thickened bulb-shaped base. The upper part may have a powdery coating.
spore powder has a brown-tobacco color. Spore size 8,5-11×5-6,5 microns, smooth. They have an angular shape. Cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia may be fusiform, bottle-shaped, or cylindrical. Their size is 47-65×12-23 microns. Basidia are four-spored.
Occurs infrequently. Can be found in Europe, also sometimes in Eastern Siberia. Grows in coniferous forests and swamps in the subarctic zone, sometimes grows among sphagnum mosses.
The mushroom is often confused with the sulfur row. Outwardly, they are similar in their conical pointed hat and existing radial cracks on the surface. You can distinguish the fungus by its unpleasant odor.
Also, the mushroom can be confused with mushrooms. The similarity is again in the form of a hat. It is possible to distinguish a mushroom from mushrooms. He does not have a ring on his leg, such as mushrooms have.
You can also confuse this type of fiber with garlic. But the latter have thicker legs.
The mushroom contains a lot of the alkaloid element muscarine. Can cause a hallucinogenic state, similar to intoxication.
The mushroom is inedible. It is not harvested or grown. Cases of poisoning were very rare. Poisoning with this fungus is similar to alcohol poisoning. Sometimes the mushroom is addictive, as it has a narcotic effect on the body.
