Mushrooms are very tasty, useful and nutritious, but the reason why some of them should not be consumed may be such a factor - toxic substances in the fruits. The article will discuss the ruined row and whether it is edible.

The convex shape indicates that the fruit is fresh, with a deepening - ripened. The edges of the hats, as a rule, are often turned up and painted brown with a red tint. Sometimes the top of the mushroom has a spotty pattern.
The leg is white and is characterized by high density. It grows in length up to 8 cm, and in thickness - up to 3 cm. The pulp of the fruit has a specific smell that resembles the smell of stale flour. Smooth, colorless spores are elliptical in shape.
Did you know? Scientists claim that mushrooms are the most diverse living things. There are about 2 million species of this plant, and only 100 thousand have been studied.
The described fungi inhabit acidic soils. This is a ground species. They grow in small groups, while not forming colonies. They are not often found, but with a great desire they can be seen in coniferous or mixed forests, parks, groves and meadows. Active fruiting occurs from September to October.
