The brownish fruit body grows up to 6 cm (2.4 in) high. It has a funnel-shaped cap up to 12 cm (5 in) wide with a distinctive in-rolled rim and decurrent gills close to the stalk. Genetic testing suggests that the fungus may be a species complex rather than a single species. A common mushroom of deciduous and coniferous woods and grassy areas in late summer and autumn, P. involutus is symbiotic with the roots of many tree species, reducing the trees&#8217; intake of heavy metals and increasing their resistance to pathogens. Previously considered edible and eaten widely in Eastern and Central Europe, the mushroom has been found to be dangerously poisonous; in 1944, it killed the German mycologist Julius Sch\u00e4ffer. It can trigger the immune system to attack red blood cells with potentially fatal complications, including acute renal and respiratory failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wikipedia article of the day for February 14, 2018 is Paxillus involutus.
