Hedgehog (Hydnellum concrescens)

Hydnus zoned

Hedgehog striped (ٽي. Hydnellum growing) is currently quite rare for mushroom pickers. The mushroom belongs to the genus Gibnum, the Ezhovikaceae family. It is a wild mushroom, not suitable for human consumption.

In its appearance, it looks like an inedible two-year-old dryer. The difference lies in the fact that the dryer has a very thin hat with pronounced zoning. The bottom of the cap is covered with small punctate pores.

The mushroom is decorated with a rusty-brown hat, which can reach ten centimeters in diameter. In the pattern of the cap, interspersed with alternating light stripes is observed. The velvety thin mushroom leg is painted rusty. Small pale appearing spores have a spherical shape.

It grows both singly and in groups that stick together with hats and legs. Sometimes it grows in rows.

Hedgehog striped is currently rare, mainly in early autumn, in August and September. It grows in mixed forests on well-rotted soils. Often mushroom pickers meet him among thickets of moss. A particularly favorite place to grow are mixed birch forests.

Almost all types of surviving hedgehog mushrooms are rare and endangered species, so they must be protected from destruction. The distribution area is considered to be vast Siberian forests, the Far East, the European part of Our Country.

The striped hedgehog is well known to amateurs and professional mushroom pickers who are fond of mushroom picking, or the so-called quiet hunting. Due to its inedibility, it does not represent nutritional value, therefore it is not subjected to mass collection during the period of active fruiting. This helps to keep it as a rare species.
