The conditionally edible mushrooms also include greenfinchs, purple rows, pigs, pushers, walui, flakefish, black milk mushrooms.

Fruit body

Where and when grows
The orangefish is common in the temperate-northern climate. It grows in families and is so dense that often the caps of neighboring mushrooms grow together.
By soil and environment unpretentious, can grow in coniferous and deciduous forests. Occurs in parks, lawns, fallen trees and ruins.
With abundant rain irrigation, the saucer is very actively developing. In cases where silt is not enough sunlight, the caps have a dim, whitish tint. The first mushrooms can be observed at the beginning of the summer, and the fruiting period in the middle of autumn ends.
Important! The younger the aleuria, the softer and softer its pulp.
What can be confused
Orange pezitsu can be confused with the hair foliar (Melastiza chateri). The mushrooms are very similar, but the beads have an orange bottom surface and hairs along the edges. 
Melastits hairs Other specimens of the genus Aleuria are similar to silt, but smaller and faded.
