Paxillus involutus (Fries) Fries
Epicr. Syst. Myc. 317. 1838.

Pileus: Cap 5-15 cm broad, convex, becoming broadly convex, the disc typically depressed; margin striate, inrolled except in age, then decurved; surface finely pubescent, at maturity more or less glabrous, sticky in moist weather, dingy yellowish-brown to dull brown, bruising darker where handled; flesh thick, buff-brown, slowly darkening when cut; odor mild; taste sour.

Lamellae: Gills decurrent, close to crowded, narrow, easily peeled from the cap, intervenose, sometimes forming rudimentary tubes, cream-buff becoming buff-brown, bruising chestnut-brown.

Stipe: Stipe 3-6 cm tall, 1-3 cm thick, equal or tapered to the base; surface smooth, pallid to dingy, yellowish-brown, bruising brown where handled, sometimes reticulate at the apex from anastomosing gills; flesh solid, darkening slowly when cut; veil absent.

Spores: Spores 7.5-10 x 4-6 µm, smooth, elliptical; spore print yellow-brown.

Habitat: Scattered to gregarious in mixed hardwood/conifer woods; fairly common in the Bay Area under pines (Pinus); fruiting from late fall to mid-winter.

Edibility: Although traditionally eaten in many parts of Europe, Paxillus involutus is now know to cause Immune Hemolytic Anemia. This anemia, which appears suddenly after years of consumption of the mushroom, can be fatal.

Felipe,
You always do such an excellent job with the treats for the eye you regularly offer here, it is hard not to like what you serve up!

Great shots! Very nicely compiled together in a trio.

Your contribution is very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave

ps Felipe, if you could be so kind to share your secret; How did you do the large post? With a workshop? Quite an excellent technique! It works very well for this picture.

Hi Felipe!

Great set of pictures, with very interesting subject. These mushrooms were quite popular in Poland some time ago. My grandmother often served it and I must say, I ate them few times. Brrrr...

Superb post Felipe. The LP version is rich with fantastic details...Excellent note with this. Very well done! Thank You.

Hi Felipe, Good presentation of the Paxillus involutus. Good sharp details, well shown, thank you.
But the word Fries and the 3rd photo made me think you had fried the mushrooms with pepper! It looks very juicy and tasty! But reading your notes, I don't think I'll eat it.

Que collage fantastico !!!
La secuencia te resulto magnifica, los colores y definición ni que hablar... ESTUPENDO !!!

abrazos
alejandro
