Kitsemampel
ladina k: Rozites caperata
Väga hea söögiseen. Seene liha on valge, õrn ja kollakas.
Väga hea maitsega.
Kasutatakse kupatamatult. Sobib praadimiseks, hautatult, salatiteks ja kastmeteks.
Kitsemampel kuulub hinnatud söögiseente hulka. Ta on hästi äratuntav üleni (ka eoslehekesed kübara all) ookerkollastes toonides seen. Jalal on enamasti veidi viltu asetsev õrn nahkne rõngas. Mingit kotjat moodustist jala alusel, nagu kärbseseentel, ei ole. Tema ümar-mütsjal kübaral võib (eriti noortel seentel) näha hõbedast härmakirmet. Kuna kitsemampel kasvab vahel kõrvuti valge kärbseseenega, tasub tähelepanelikult vaadata igat korvi pandavat seent.

This beautiful and distinct mushroom will be treated as "Rozites caperata" in all but the most recent field guides, but recent DNA studies (see below) have determined that it is actually a Cortinarius. It is recognized by its colors, the pasted-Kleenex texture of its young cap surface, its thick, white ring, and its rusty brown spore print.
Cortinarius caperatus is often given the common name "Gypsy Mushroom," for reasons I cannot discover. The species was originally named in Europe, but when I conjure up memories of European gypsies I have seen in Portugal and Greece, no immediate parallels come to mind. Maybe I am missing something . . .
Cortinarius caperatus is a popular and delicious edible, but it should not be collected for the table by beginners, since it could easily be confused with several poisonous mushrooms. Recent research indicates the mushroom may have antiviral properties.
Description:
Ecology: Mycorrhizal with conifers, hardwoods, and bushes in the blueberry family; growing alone or, more often, gregariously; summer and fall; widely distributed in northern and eastern North America.
Cap: 5-15 cm; convex, becoming broadly convex, flat, or somewhat bell-shaped; dry; usually wrinkled; when young with a grayish to whitish, Kleenex-like coating of fibers, especially over the center; pale yellowish at first, but soon yellowish brown, often with a pale margin.
Gills: Attached to the stem; close; pale at first, becoming brown or cinnamon brown; the faces sometimes somewhat mottled or striped; covered by a white partial veil when young.
Stem: 5-13 cm long; 1-2.5 cm thick at the apex; equal or slightly swollen at the base; dry; usually rough or shaggy near the apex; whitish or pale tan; with a thick white ring at the midsection; sometimes with a whitish covering near the base.
Flesh: Whitish, grayish, or pale lilac.
Taste: Mild; odor mild.
Spore Print: Rusty brown.
Microscopic Features: Spores 11-15 x 7-10 µ; elliptical; slightly roughened. Pleurocystidia present.

Rozites caperata and Pholiota caperata are synonyms. "Rozites caperatus" is a Latin mistake.
A Full Taxonomic Circle
Taxonomy in Transition: ... > Cortinariaceae > Rozites Cortinarius
"Fries was not far wrong," wrote Alexander Smith in 1949, "when he placed Rozites caperata in Cortinarius" (468). Since so many Friesian divisions have been mutilated by genetic analysis, it is nice that Fries's Cortinarius caperatus is once again the correct name for this mushroom--after going through one (human) generation as Pholiota caperata and another generation as Rozites caperata. A 2002 study by Peintner and others vindicated the old Swede (for once), finding Rozites, Cuphocybe, and Rapacia to be synonymous with Cortinarius. A subsequent publication made the taxonomic transfers.
