Weekend mushroom picking, from poisonous mushrooms, through medicinal to edible ones. Another weekend walk resulted in three species of mushrooms. One of them is highly poisonous, the other is edible even though it does not appear to be it, and the third is a species with medicinal properties. Cazuelilla - Sarcosphaera coronaria beautiful but deadly poisonous This unusual mushroom has two stages in its life. First, it is an underground fungus, most often taking a spherical form, and only later it rises to the surface, matures, and gradually breaks into triangular petals, thus giving the spores a chance to extend the species. It can reach up to 20 cm in diameter. Initially, the interior of the mushroom is whitish, with time it is purple and smooth. The outer shell is mostly gray-white. The flesh is white and brittle. The mushroom in its raw state is highly, even deadly, poisonous. It is a rare species, it can be found in forests mixed with a calcareous substrate, for this the region of the Kraków-Częstochowa Jurassic is an ideal environment for it. The first fruiting bodies appear already in early spring, and in June you can find quite a lot of this species. more... https://hive.blog/hive-166168/@marianomariano/weekend-mushroom-picking-from-poisonous
