Hat: Small, only 0,5-2 cm in diameter. Bell-shaped with a specific dip in the middle and translucent plates along the edges. The surface of the cap is yellowish-brown.
Pulp: thin, one color with a hat, does not have a special smell.
Records: infrequent, descending along the stem, one color with a hat. A special feature is the veins placed transversely and connecting the plates to each other.
Spore powder: white.
Leg: flexible, fibrous, very thin, only 1 mm thick. The upper part of the leg is light, the lower part is dark brown.
Spread: Xeromphalin campanulate is often found in spruce glades from the beginning of May until the end of the big mushroom season, but still, most often the mushroom comes across in the spring. This is due to the fact that in the spring no one else grows on stumps, or indeed the first fruitful wave is the most abundant, remains unknown.
Similarity: If you do not look closely, then the bell-shaped xeromphaline can be mistaken for a scattered dung beetle (Coprinus dissimatus). This species grows in much the same way, but of course, there are not many similarities between these species. Western experts note that in their area, on the remains of deciduous trees, you can find an analogue of our xeromphalin – xeromphalina kauffmanii (Xeromphalina kauffmanii). There are also many omphalins similar in shape, growing, as a rule, on the soil. In addition, they do not have characteristic transverse veins that connect the plates together.
Edibility: nothing is known, most likely there is a mushroom, not worth it.
