Where the mushroom grows netkonoska and its description (+17 photos)

One of the most prominent representatives of the kingdom of mushrooms is the nettlefish, or dual dictiophore. If you are lucky enough, walking through the forest, to meet this rare specimen, it is simply impossible not to notice. First of all, the specific appearance of the fruiting body that is not characteristic of other representatives of the kingdom catches the eye.

Netting refers to endangered species and is listed in the Red Book. It grows in a temperate climate, attributed to conditionally edible species due to the specific smell. People call her a lady with a veil, which is associated with the presence of an openwork mesh under the hat. It is impossible not to mention the fact that the netting lives only a day, and grows by 5 mm every minute. The attention of many mushroom pickers attracts a large number of useful properties that this species possesses.

Characteristic features of the variety

The dual dictiophore is very easy to distinguish from other representatives of the kingdom due to the peculiarities of its external features and morphology. This species belongs to the genus Veselka and the Veselkov family.

A characteristic feature of a dictophore is its two-phase development, where each phase has its own characteristics. Since Phallus duplicatus belongs to the gastroomycete species, the fruit part remains completely closed until the spores mature. At the moment, there is a decrease in the number of species.

Description of double mesh nets and photo mushroom

The mushroom is small in size. It has a cone-shaped hat of olive color, the surface looks smooth and slippery. An openwork mesh grows from the edges of the hat, which can completely cover the leg. The mesh is white, in the dark it takes on a green hue.

The leg is barrel-shaped, high, up to 20 cm. Outwardly, the net-nose is similar to Hadrian’s fun, ordinary funky and bell-shaped dictiophore. The following are photos and a detailed description of the variety.

Morphology

In the place of growth of the fruit part, a rounded base initially appears with a jelly-like mass inside. This mass contains the rudiments of the fruit part. Then the rounded base takes the shape of a cylinder or chicken egg (for which it was called the witch's egg) and reaches 7 cm in height. The formation initially has a white color, gradually turns yellow and becomes brownish. After which the base is torn into two parts and a mature fruiting body emerges from them.

The hat is cellular in structure, has the shape of a cone and is covered on top with a slippery mucous layer. The fruiting body, after going outside, gives off an unpleasant putrefactive odor that repels fungi, but attracts the attention of insects. Due to this smell, flies that spread spores often land on the surface, and the lace part increases the area for insects.

The height of the hat reaches 5 cm. At the top there is a disc-shaped slot. The veil falls from the edges of the hat and can cover the mushroom half or completely. On the veil there are cells of the same round shape. The leg is high, porous in texture, resembles a sponge and has the shape of a cylinder. It extends to the center and has a diameter of about 2-3 cm.

Habitat

Most often, netting grows in deciduous or mixed forests, giving preference to places near poplars, firs and shrubs. It can also be found in forest plantations near the city, near residential buildings and summer cottages.The fungus attracts a substrate saturated with organic substances. This species grows alone and rarely bears fruit. Peak yields occur in the middle and end of summer. In Russia, it can be found throughout the territory, although it is extremely rare.

Edible or inedible

Setkonoska refers to edible varieties when it is at the initial stage of development and does not exceed the size of a chicken egg. It is during this period that it is eaten.

In folk medicine, there were many recipes according to which the mushroom was used to treat gout. It was also consumed fried or boiled, with dressing made from sour cream and spices. Ripe mushrooms were not eaten, due to the specific smell that comes from the legs and the net.
