Distinguish between gray (smoky), yellow-red, purple, poplar, silvery, honeycomb, golden and many others. All these mushrooms differ from each other in the color of their caps and this is their main difference. Basically, the cap of the mushroom is 4-10 cm in diameter, the surface is dry, in the middle of the cap there is a small tubercle, the thin edges of the caps are bent down. The leg of the mushroom is up to 8 cm high, with a velvety fibrous surface. The pulp of the mushroom is purple-tinged.
