White butter dish - one of the popular edible tubular members of the family Maslenkov, belonging to the class of Agaricomycetes, characterized by poorly pronounced taste properties and almost no noticeable smell. The official Latin international name is Suillus placidus.
Description
The cap of a white oiler has an average diameter of 5 to 12 centimeters, although it is quite possible to find single specimens exceeding this figure. In a young fungus, it differs in a convex shape, in the process of gradual growth, taking first a cushion-like appearance, and then a flat, or even slightly concave. The surface is smooth and slightly moist, which is explained by the presence of a thin layer of mucus on it, when dried, the skin becomes shiny.
As you can easily guess from the name of this type of oil, it has a whitish neutral color of the cap, the edges of which, however, have a pale yellow tint.In a mature mushroom, this part can be painted in a yellowish-white or grayish-white color, and in rainy weather, it often resembles dull olives in its appearance. Peel easily separated from the cap, and she herself quickly collapses.
The tubular part of the oil can is connected to the leg in an accretive state, sometimes this fungus can be found in nature, which has weakly descending tubules. The color of this area is whitish yellow first, then, as it grows, it turns first into a more pronounced and saturated yellow (like that of lemon peel), then greenish yellow (characteristic of olives), well, in the oldest state - olive brown .The pores of the fungus have a similar color, angular in shape, in which droplets of red liquid can often be found.
The flesh of the white oiler differs in yellow or white color, in the place of cutting or breaking it gradually changes over time and turns into a red wine shade. The fungus has a weak smell and taste. It has smooth, spore-shaped spores, with light brown, yellow olive, or ocher-colored powder.
Sprouting
White butter can grows mainly in coniferous forests of mixed type, along with representatives of cedar and a wide variety of pine trees. The main areas of its growth are China and North America, Europe and Russia, where it can be found in especially large quantities in Siberia and remote regions of the Far East. The growth of the fungus occurs in the period from the beginning of summer, namely, from June to November, and the collection is better to carry out from August to September. It is at this time that this variety of mushrooms is best suited for food.It grows singly or as part of small groups, mainly alongside cedar - Siberian, European, elfin, Korean. Thus, it is recommended to go to the collection of white oil in a nearby hodge, for example, in a young pine planting. Most often, the fungus grows singly, less often - in groups of 3 or 4 copies, and as a part of larger groups it is practically not noticed.

Similar views
The white butterdish has no poisonous mushrooms similar to it, with which it could be easily confused, so even novice fans of “silent hunting” can boldly gather it. But it is worth remembering its similarity with the so-called pepper mushroom - not poisonous, but having a very bitter taste, and therefore requiring at least 15 minutes of cooking,during which his bitterness is neutralized.
