The diameter of this mushroom usually varies from 3 to 20 cm. The color of its cap is very variable - light-brownish, gray-brown, auburn. Spore powder is olive brown. This mushroom is very common in Latvia's forests. It grows under birches and in mixed forests from late May to November. Edible and rather tasty when fried, dried or pickled.
