White whip (Pluteus pellitus)

הוט: in young mushrooms, the cap has a bell-shaped or convex-outstretched shape. The cap is 4 to 8 inches in diameter. In the central part of the cap, as a rule, a noticeable dry tubercle remains. The surface of the cap has a dirty white color in young mushrooms. In mature mushrooms, the hat is yellowish, radially fibrous. The tubercle in the center is covered with small inconspicuous brown or beige scales. The flesh of the cap is thin, in fact it is present only in the region of the tubercle in the center. The pulp does not have a special smell and is distinguished by a characteristic light smell of radish.

רעקאָרדס: rather wide, frequent, free plates in young mushrooms have a whitish color. As the fungus matures, the plates become pinkish under the influence of spores.

ספּאָר פּאַודער: ראָזעווע.

פוס: cylindrical leg up to nine cm high and not more than 1 cm thick. The leg is almost even, only at its base there is a distinct tuberous thickening. Often the leg is bent, which is associated with the conditions for the growth of the fungus. The surface of the legs of a grayish color is covered with longitudinal gray scales. Although the scales are not as dense as those of the deer Plyutei. Inside the leg is continuous, longitudinally fibrous. The pulp in the leg is also fibrous, brittle white.

White Plutey is found throughout the summer period, until early September. It grows on the remains of deciduous trees.

Some sources claim that there is a white variety of the Deer Plute, but such mushrooms are larger in size, smell, and other signs of the White Plute. Pluteus patricius is also indicated in similar species, but it is difficult to say anything definite about him without a thorough study. In general, the genus Plutei is quite mysterious, and it can only be studied in dry years, when no mushrooms grow except Plutei. It differs from other representatives of a kind of White Plutey by its light color and small fruiting bodies. Also its distinctive feature, places of growth. The mushroom grows mainly in beech forests.

White whip is edible, like all other mushrooms of this genus. An ideal raw material for culinary experiments, as the mushroom has no taste at all. It has no special culinary value.

White whip is a common mushroom in those forests whose predecessors survived the last glaciation. The mushroom can often be found in linden forests. This seemingly small and inconspicuous mushroom gives the forest a completely new and alluring perspective.
