Pale grebe: a description of the appearance and ways to get rid of the garden plot

Pale grebe is an inedible poisonous mushroom that is the most toxic of all species. In the wild, it is quite common and has many names. That is why it is important to distinguish edible mushrooms from grebes, to be able to bypass them.

Pale grebe is an inedible poisonous mushroom that is the most toxic of all species.

They reach a height of about 15 cm. The pulp has a pleasant aroma, slightly changes color when pressed at the site of injury.

The leg of the toadstool is thin (with such a height of the fungus, it rarely exceeds one centimeter in diameter). It has a dense white ring. The color of the stem is whitish, sometimes it has pigmentation in the color of the cap itself. The leg does not grow in the Volvo - outwardly it seems that it is simply inserted into it. Volvo is painted yellow or greenish.

Pale grebe grows in coniferous and deciduous forests, located in the temperate zone of the Eurasian continent. The fruiting season of the mushroom begins in early June and ends in October. For normal growth, pale grebe needs a sufficient amount of moisture. After the rain passes, the fungus grows in whole glades, but in arid regions, the toadstool is less common. Most often, the toadstool is found in forests where pines and sphagnum moss grow.

The pale grebe has many twins, both among edible mushrooms and among poisonous ones. The most similar to it are greenish and green russula, as well as champignons, float, greenfinch. Poisonous fruits similar to toadstool are smelly and grebe-shaped fly agaric.

Russula green

This variety differs from all the greenish color of the cap, as well as the dense structure of the stem. Due to inexperience, russula can be confused with pale grebe, however, the incision and the absence of a white ring are the main distinguishing features. The russula cap reaches a diameter of 14 cm, in dry weather it becomes shiny. As it grows, it can acquire a brown color, grows in small groups in forest areas.

Champignon

Mushrooms belong to the Agarikov family. Outwardly, the champignon also looks like a pale grebe, or rather, its unripe fruits. The hat reaches eight centimeters in diameter, has a whitish color. In mature fruits it has the shape of a semicircle. The surface of the aerial part is dry, without mucus, covered with many white scales. Leg about 10 cm tall.

greenfinch mushroom

Zelenushki have a dense hat up to 12 cm in diameter, dense in structure, fleshy. In young fruits, it may be slightly convex, while in mature ones, on the contrary, it is raised up. The skin is smooth, slightly slimy or sticky depending on the weather. The plates are up to one centimeter wide, yellow or green. The leg is short, covered with small brown scales.

Float

This species belongs to the kingdom of fly agaric and is underestimated among mushroom pickers for its external data. When collecting a float, you need to be extremely careful - both a pale grebe and a fly agaric can be disguised under it.

The edges of the cap are uneven, have no smell. The flesh does not change color when damaged. The fungus can be found in deciduous or mixed forests. Edible specimens lack the white stem ring.

How to distinguish an edible mushroom from a toadstool

It is quite easy to distinguish a poisonous mushroom from an edible one, you just need to carefully look at the fetus itself and find a few differences. For example, edible mushrooms do not have a characteristic ring on the stem. This sign appears only in the white grebe. In addition, the plates are also excellent - they are yellow in greenfinch and other similar fruits, and only white in poisonous. It is distinguished from champignon by the color of the plates - the edible mushroom has brown plates, while the poisonous ones are light, whitish. The float is similar, however, the toadstool has a volva, while other mushrooms do not.

When picking mushrooms, it is necessary to observe safety precautions - do not collect separately growing specimens, but only those that grow in a group.

Signs and consequences of pale grebe poisoning

The insidiousness of the poison of the pale toadstool lies in the fact that it slowly affects parts of the body, and poor health appears only fifteen hours after ingestion. For a fatal outcome, it is enough to consume about 30 mg of a poisonous substance, which corresponds to half a kilogram of mushrooms.

First, a general malaise appears, pain in the head and limbs appears. Further, vision deteriorates, which can be attributed to the manifestation of hypertension and other chronic diseases. At this stage, it is important to recognize the poison and immediately go to the hospital - this can reduce the risk of death. After the deterioration of vision, hallucinations, the appearance of panic attacks follow. The fungus affects the cells of the nervous system, due to which the arms or legs may fail, coordination of movements, speech or memory is disturbed, a person does not recognize his loved ones. Then the temperature rises, dehydration occurs, vomiting and diarrhea appear.

There are known cases of manifestation of false well-being - a person becomes better for a while, all symptoms go away and it seems that a complete recovery has come. However, it is not. After a short period of time, the symptoms will return in a worse degree.

In the case of contacting a doctor and taking medication, the recovery period after poisoning can last about two months.

How to get rid of toadstools in an outdoor garage

There are several ways to get rid of dense concentric circles from toadstool thickets.

• If the mushroom grows in a clearing on the site, then this can be very dangerous. First of all, you need to remove the mycelium itself. To do this, it is necessary to raise the top layer of the earth, remove the mushroom threads themselves as far as possible, and then leave the earth in this form for several days. Under the influence of sunlight, the remnants of the toadstool root system will successfully die.
• It is also worth remembering whether it was necessary to bury wood in the ground in this particular place? If the mushroom has grown in place of rot, then the tree must be treated with a special fungal antiseptic sold in a gardening store.
• Indoors, removing mushrooms is not so easy. They appear in places of excessive moisture and grow in threads deep into the foundation. In this case, first of all, it is necessary to remove the source of moisture, and only then take up the fight against the fungus.
• A special tool from the store will help to remove the roots, and you can prevent regular occurrence with the help of regular treatment of the place.
• It happens that groundwater passes too close near the foundation of the room. In this case, only a major overhaul will help, as well as additional internal insulation of the house or garage.
