Other mushrooms were also growing next to the mushroom found: Tricholoma portentosum, Cortinarius mucosus, Suillus bovinus, Tricholoma arvernense.
Strong celery smell. Pleasant, slightly sweet taste.
The mushroom Tricholoma apium (Scented knight) is protected. The criteria for extinction in Europe, with the exception of Scandinavia, is very serious.

Soapy knight - Tricholoma saponaceum var. squamosum

Tuesday, 14 September, 2021
Short description: 

Pine, birch, linden.

The diameter of the caps is 26-56 mm. Stipe with scales. The trama at the bottom of the stipe quickly changes color to a faint pink shade. Quite a pleasant scent with hints of baby soap. The taste is neutral. My family has eaten this type of mushroom many times after heat treatment, although in Lithuanian sources the mushroom is marked as poisonous. However, the species has many subspecies with very different characteristics.
