By madventure | Nature, Photography | 11 Mar 2024


This species of mushroom is one of the first edible mushrooms. It often appears as early as April in Europe. It is a very tasty edible mushroom, but underestimated and avoided by many.

The hat is usually light cream in color, sometimes white, white cream or white yellow.

The diameter can reach about 10 cm. The surface of the cap is smooth, dry and sometimes cracked when the mushroom is exposed to sunlight.

The white lamellae are relatively thin and quite densely spaced.
The leg is cylindrical, quite short, in the color of the hat. It's full inside.

The white crispy and firm flesh has a mild mushroom flavor and a floury smell.

The fungus is very common, appears in April and continues to grow until June. He loves meadows, forest edges, pastures. It often creates so-called devil's circles and you can gather quite a lot of it in one place.

It is a very tasty edible mushroom with many uses in the kitchen, but underestimated by many mushroom pickers.
