The thin- fleshed aniseed Egerling or mushroom ( Agaricus silvicola ) is an edible mushroom from the family of mushroom relatives (Agaricaceae).

features

The fruiting bodies appear mostly gregarious and on the outside they change color to sulfur-yellow and later to brown-yellow. The thin hat reaches 5 to 10, rarely up to 12 centimeters in diameter and is initially bell-shaped or hemispherical and later spreads out flat. The top is light cream colored, silky and often finely scaled. The hat skin can be partly peeled off. The lamellae are gray-white to cream-colored when young and with increasing maturity of the spores turn gray-pink to dark-chocolate-brown. They stand close and free from the stem. The spores are purple-brown, ellipsoidal in shape and have a smooth surface. They measure 5 to 6.5 by 3 to 4.5 microns. The initially hollow stem is long and slender with a diameter between 1 and 1.5 centimeters and usually has a bulbous base. It is largely the same color as the hat and has a mostly simple, large, membranous, drooping and ephemeral ring . The meat is white, turns yellow when damaged, but does not redden and has a characteristic smell of aniseed oil or almonds, which does not completely disappear even when cooked. With potassium hydroxide (KOH) it turns yellow.

Species delimitation

The young fruiting bodies, in particular, are very similar to those of deadly poisonous capsicum mushrooms ( green capsicum mushroom , cone-capped capsicum mushroom ). These are distinguished by white lamellae and spurs and a sheath around the peduncle.

The fungus is very similar to related species such as the Schiefknolligen anise Egerling, the White Anischampignon ( Agaricus arvensis ), the Kurzsporigen anise mushrooms ( Agaricus osecanus ), the field mushroom ( Agaricus campestris ) and the Karbolegerling. The slightly poisonous Karbolegerling ( Agaricus xanthoderma ) smells unpleasant. The crooked aniseed Egerling ( Agaricus essettei ) only grows in coniferous forests and has more massive fruit bodies with pure white hats.

Distribution and ecology

The thin-fleshed aniseed Egerling grows as a saprophyte in forests, especially in the needle litter under spruce trees , and produces fruit from August to October (July to November). It can be found in Europe and North America.

ingredients

The fruit bodies contain 4-hydroxybenzoic acid .

use

It is edible and a popular edible mushroom in Europe. It enriches cadmium .

Systematics and taxonomy

Earlier it was considered a variety of meadow mushrooms ( Agaricus campestris ) or white mushrooms ( Agaricus arvensis ). The species epithet "silvicola" distinguishes him as a forest dweller.
