What is a chiropractic?

It is a beautiful and delicious mushroom that is highly sought after by gourmets all over the world.

This type of mushroom grows from November to February and you will find it growing mainly from the wood of oaks, junipers or cedars. Blackheads like the cold and will start to appear when the temperature drops below -8 degrees.

They have a strong mushroom aroma and their body has a firm fleshy texture that absorbs water well.

General signs of ringworm

• We find them especially during the autumn and winter months.
• They grow in hardwood under oaks and near junipers and ash trees.
• Chiruves have a classic “mushroom” shape: a simple hat, a thick leg, tight petals. They have no ring or veil around the stem.
• The hat is a smooth lavender purple, reminiscent of suede.
• It will NEVER be slimy or sticky .
• Their hats are often beige to purple. As the mushroom ages, the edges of the hat curl and appear shiny and iridescent when exposed to light.
• The lavender color can also be found under the petals.
• These mushrooms do not grow in large groups, rather we find a larger number of them spread freely in space.
• They do not grow in bundles or on dead wood.
• Spores are one way to be sure you have an edible spore. When you cut the cap off the mushroom and place it skin side down on white paper – the spores should be light in color, whitish, dull pink to pinkish beige . Their poisonous counterpart has darker, rust-colored spores.
