One of the first in the autumn to grow spruce. They may appear earlier, but it is in September that their growth peak is observed. To collect them you need a basket or a separate compartment in the basket, as they stain all the other mushrooms. Interestingly, these mushrooms grow in the forest in September in almost the same places as the ceps, but later for half a month or a month.

A distinctive feature of the species is the mucous gray-lilac or gray-brown hat, covered with a mucous membrane of thin filiform fibers, as well as the conical nature of the plates running down the leg and the presence of yellow spots at the base of the leg. The peel is easily removed completely.
