Brown roll-rim

Brown roll-rim     Tavavahelik    Paxillus involutus
 
The brown roll-rim is now recognized as a toxic mushroom. Sensitive people react very differently to the toxins in the roll-rim. According to research its negative influence is tied  to civilization diseases (such as food allergy) as well as changes in habitats.
 
25 years ago mushroom books still confirmed the belief in the brown roll-rim for a mushroom sauce, but it offers no special taste sensation as food. In the forest stands of it are quite picturesque.
 
A week ago, before the arrival of the frosts, there were still ceps, but the time of the orange Leccinum aurantiacum boletes is ending. It is worthwhile to go out looking for autumn mushrooms, there are also enough cranberries on the bog edges for pickers. As for the weather it will be a crisply nice weekend.
