Edibility

purple ryadovka is an edible delicious mushroom. Before cooking, the mushrooms must be boiled for 10-15 minutes. The broth is not used. Then they can be salted, fried, pickled, and so on. Dried rows are ready for use in three months.

Spread

Cyanosis is common, mainly in groups. It mainly grows in the north of the forest zone in mixed and coniferous forests. Less commonly found in clearings and forest edges, among thickets of nettles and near heaps of brushwood. Often together with a smoky talker. Fruiting from early September to November frosts. Occasionally forms "witch circles".

Similarity

In color, the purple spider web is similar to the ryadovka - also a conditionally edible mushroom. The only difference between the mushroom is the specific veil of cobwebs that envelop the plates, which gave it its name. Also, the spider web has an unpleasant musty smell of mold.
