Plutey is a mushroom of the Pluthee family that grows mainly on woody debris. Despite the widespread distribution of the spit, this mushroom is collected infrequently and is used only slightly. In addition, scientists recently confirmed the presence of a noticeable dose of the hallucinogenic enzyme psilocin in some species of spit. For this reason, great care should be taken when using this mushroom for culinary purposes.
