Although it is counted among the edible mushrooms , according to more recent knowledge it can no longer be recommended without reservation.

features

The yellow to chocolate brown hat is up to 12 cm wide. At first it is hemispherical and then spread out like a cushion. The hat is slimy and greasy, glabrous and dry, shiny, smooth. The tubes are pale yellow, later cloudy olive to brown-yellow in color, and are somewhat attached to the stem or slightly run down on it. The stem becomes 6–12 cm long and 1–2.5 cm thick. Mostly it is cylindrical or somewhat thickened towards the base. A whitish velum partiale (partial cover) initially connects it to the brim of the hat and later remains as a membranous ring - only a few thick tubelets have a stem ring.

Species delimitation

The ringless butter mushroom ( S. collinitus ) is one of the doppelgangers , but only occurs on limestone soils and has a ringless stem with a pink base. The granule tubular ( S. granulatus ) also has no ring and a whitish to yellowish colored stem without any pink tones. In addition to these two companions from the pine trees, the gold reed ( S grevillei ) , which is strictly bound to larches, can look similar. However, the fruiting bodies rarely have a brown, but mostly a lemon-yellow to red-orange hat.

Distribution, ecology and phenology

The butter bolet grows in pine forests.

The butter mushroom is spread all over the northern hemisphere and is considered common in Europe . It accompanies the pine species from the sea coast to the alpine zones. It has a preference for cold temperate climates and makes no direct soil demands, but it seems to prefer acidic, nutrient-poor soils.

In the period from September to October you can often find him standing in groups.

The butter mushroom is mostly classified as edible. In some Slavic countries, such as Russia and Poland, the butter mushroom is one of the most collected and best known types of mushroom.

However, the edibility of the mushroom is now controversial. The German Society for Mycology classifies the butter mushroom as a species with inconsistent food value . Bresinsky and Besl cite reports from North America that the gelatinous cap skin causes indigestion. Flammer and Horak confirm that unskin fungal caps lead to diarrhea with a short latency period . Haberl and Zilker write that the species causes fungal poisoning with gastrointestinal irritation in some patients. The butter mushroom like the bald krempling ( Paxillus involutus ) very rarely triggers an allergic antigen defense reaction - one case has been documented.

For this reason, the skin of the hat is often removed before preparation, the dye of which can turn the hands dark brown for a few days.

Common names

In the USA , where the butter mushroom was widespread through pine plantings, it was given the name "Slippery Jack", which means something like "Slippery Hans", because of its slimy texture. In Bavaria it is therefore also called "Rotzer".
