Безопасный

Calocera cornea is generally considered non-toxic, but it is not recommended for consumption due to its small size, gelatinous texture, and lack of substantial flavor. There are no reports of serious poisonings, but some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal upset. More importantly, it can be easily confused with toxic species. Due to uncertainties in identification skills for amateur mushroom hunters, it's advisable to treat it as inedible.
