It has no ring on its stalk. It is abundant in coniferous forests, where it grows under pines, along grassy forest edges and forest tracks, and along grassy edges of scrubby ditches from June to October. It is very common in Latvia. Edible and tasty when fried without boiling. One can also pickle and salt it. The peel of its cap should be taken away first.
