The name of the mushroom is not accidental, because it can grow huge tracts, most often at trees. There may be even several thousand in one place in one place.

Due to the number in one place, it can practically not be confused with any other species.

The leg is also very fragile, thin, empty and translucent. The pulp has a delicate mushroom smell and taste.

The fungus is considered inedible because it contains a copry, which in combination with alcohol causes various ailments.

As you can see, snails do not bother, because they do not drink alcohol, so they can easily eat these mushrooms.

This is another example of the strong invasiveness of this snail in our environment.
