Хигрофор жућкасто бео is an edible cap mushroom.
It is widely known in Europe, North America and North Africa. It is also called by other names such as wax hat (ivory hat) и cowboy handkerchief. Therefore, it has such a name in Latin “eburneus”, which means “ivory color”.
The fruiting body of the mushroom is medium in size. His color is white.
The hat, if it is in a wet state, is covered with a layer of mucus (trama), of a rather large thickness. This can make the picking process difficult. If you try to rub the mushroom between your fingers, then to the touch it can resemble wax. The fruiting body of the fungus is a carrier of many biologically active substances. These include fatty acids with antifungal and bactericidal activity.
