features

The spines peel off with age and expose the brown outer shell.

The immature fruit body shows a white flesh in cross section.

Dusters are saprobiontic soil dwellers. The mushroom grows on sandy soils and grows up to 5 cm. The fruit body is white, brown or cream in color. A chambered, sterile part of the fruiting body ( subgleba ) can be found under the chambered basal part, which carries the spores and capillitium ( gleba ). After ripening, the mushrooms open with a hole at the top. The peridia , that is, the outer covering of the fruiting body, is double. The outer peridia is prickly to scalloped warty.

Locations in Germany

In November 2004, Hanns Kreisel identified the flaking dust on a planned gravel mining area. This was the only evidence of this type of mushroom in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the northernmost find in Central Europe. In 2007, Rudolf Markones made another find in a sand pit near Sommerhausen.

properties

Some Indians living in Mexico use the mushroom in ritual acts. The mushroom is said to have psychoactive properties.
