Organic Brown gilled woodlover - Hypholoma capnoides - Grain spawn

The smoky sulfur head is considered by connoisseurs to be an excellent edible mushroom with a mild, pleasantly nutty flavour and a marzipan-like smell. The special thing about this mushroom is that it also grows on conifers.
The cultivation of this mushroom is still at the research stage. While cultivation on tree trunks usually produces good yields, cultivation on ready-made crops in greenhouses has not yet been perfected.
The cap of this mushroom is orange to yellow-brown in colour and reaches a diameter of 2 - 7 cm, the stems are 5 - 9 cm long, the fruiting bodies grow in clusters, similar to the stick sponge.
The smoky sulfur head is widespread in Europe and is also native to Austria. If collected from the wild, there is a warning that it may be confused with the inedible green-leaved sulphur head!
