Most of the edible mushrooms that grow on the territory of our country have poisonous twins, and the umbrella species is no exception in this regard. False or inedible mushroom umbrella is represented by two main varieties:
Both species, due to the soil and climatic features of our country, are not widespread in Russia and are found mainly in America, Eurasia, Australia and Africa.

The umbrella belongs to the category of saprotrophs and prefers sandy soils in bright forests. It is quite common in glades and forest edges, and also feels good in forest clearings or clearings. In some years, it can be found in open areas, recently it has become a frequent guest of the territory of forest park zones and personal plots. It grows best in moderate climates.
