Russula cyanoxantha
Russula cyanoxantha, commonly known as the Charcoal burner, is a basidiomycete mushroom, distinguished from most other members of the Russula genus by the fact that its gills do not split, but are soft and flexible. It is one of the most common species of Russula in Europe. Additional recommended knowledgeIt is an edible mushroom. It was designated Mushroom of the Year in 1997 by the German Association of Mycology. DescriptionThe most salient characteristic is the weak gills, which feel greasy to the touch, are flexible and do not break. The cap is 4-10 cm wide, convex at first and later flattened, and greenish to bright brown (they vary considerably in color). The stipe is pure white, slightly convex underneath, up to 10 cm in height and 1.5-2.5 cm in diameter. The spores are pure white. Distribution and habitatRussula cyanoxantha grows in slightly acidic, but nutrient-rich soil. Like all Russulas, it is a mycorrhizal fungus. They appear from May to November, with the highest concentration in July to September. Categories: Russula | Basidiomycota |
