Cobwebs are edible mushrooms that grow in all types of forests. They can be eaten even raw, these mushrooms are no less tasty after heat treatment, as well as in salted form. The cobwebs got their name because of the white “spread” wrapping the lower part of the hat and falling onto the leg. You need to go to the forest for all varieties of cobwebs at the very end of summer and you can collect them until mid-autumn.
