Meadow saprophytes, they appear in pastures and woodland clearings during spring and fall. Hat diameter between 5 and 15 cm, with thick white flesh and a sweet taste. Of little commercial interest, sought after for self-consumption.

Saprophytes, they grow on the stumps or dead trunks of poplars and willows, typically in riverside areas. They appear throughout the year in humid conditions. Hat between 5 and 15 cm, with compact, white/brown flesh with a hazelnut flavor. Potential for production on trunks or chips of poplar and willow wood.

Montados and pastures, under holm oak or cork oak cover; open and sunny oak and oak forests, acidic soils. A thermophilic species, mushrooms appear in late summer and fall. A highly sought-after species when young, it is important to keep mature specimens to propagate the spores.

Mycorrhizal. Cork oak, holm oak and cistus forests on clay soils. Fruits between February and March and may also appear in spring. It is much appreciated and sought after in the inland regions of Alentejo and Beira Baixa. White flesh, with pink tones when cut. Strong, characteristic earthy smell. Sweet taste. When young, it can be confused with other poisonous species of the Amanita genus (Amanita phalloides, Amanita verna).

Mycorrhizal, associated exclusively with Mediterranean pine forests, predominantly on calcareous soils. They appear mainly in the fall. Highly edible. Both species have orange-colored cuticles and thick, white flesh. The L. deliciosus species is larger, with hats up to 20 cm in diameter (L. sanguifluus up to 9 cm).

Cosmopolitan saprophyte, very common in uncultivated land and forest edges, in humus-rich soils. As an adult, the hat is flat-convex, with a fringed margin, and can reach up to 40 cm in diameter. In the center there is a protuberance of a more greyish color due to the maintenance of the cuticle, which flakes over the rest of the hat. Its meat is soft and sweet, and it is appreciated from the north to the south of the country.

With a wide ecological spectrum, this species can be found both on the central coast and in the hills of Beira and Trás-os-Montes, always in mycorrhizal association with stands of pine, occasionally dotted with other hardwoods. It fructifies in the fall. It has a conical/convex cap, 5 to 12 cm in diameter, with a thick, slimy yellow/brown cuticle. The flesh is of medium consistency, white to pale yellow, with a sweet taste. Several cases of poisoning associated with excessive consumption of this species in France have led to its sale being banned in several European countries. However, in the long tradition of collecting this species in Portugal, no incidents have been recorded and there are no restrictions on its trade or consumption.

Mycorrhizal species, often associated with T. equestre in coniferous forests (pines and firs) with acidic soils. Late fruiting, in fall/winter. It has a convex, wavy cap, up to 12 cm in diameter, with a thick, grayish cuticle and dark radial fibrils. Thick, white flesh with a mild flour taste.

Mycorrhizal associated with pine forests, or under hardwoods, in calcareous or sandy soils. Fruiting in fall/winter in numerous clusters among the foliage. Convex to flattened hat, with a central mamelon and a thin, wavy margin. Thick, dry, grayish, somewhat fuzzy cuticle. Flesh fragile, not very thick, white - grayish. Mild flavor.

A woody saprophyte, it grows on dead trunks and stumps of broad-leaved trees (beech, poplar, willow and elm) in damp areas. It can also occur as a parasite on senescent trees. Fruits abundantly in the fall and winter. Fruiting takes the characteristic form of fans or spatulas, with a thin margin, and some specimens can be up to 30 cm wide. Variable coloration, usually grey-brown with light cream blades. White, compact flesh with a sweet taste.
