Where to look: stinking brittlegill

A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.

About the species. British and most western field guides treat this mushroom as inedible. Raw it is acrid and causes stomach upset, and old fruitbodies smell of rancid oil or fish. In Russia, eastern Europe and Scandinavia it is salted, but only after the skin is peeled off and the young unopened buttons are soaked in several changes of water for days and then boiled. Nothing on this page is a recommendation to eat it.

A regional boundary means nothing to a mushroom, and the next region is sometimes closer than the far side of your own. The index is for today.
