Mushrooms in August 2019

Honey mushrooms
If a couple of mushrooms have appeared, it is worth looking further: they grow in groups. They are used for marinating and frying. It is worth collecting this mushroom carefully, since there are false pigs or false mushrooms. They have a color from gray-yellow to brick-red, there are no scales, rings on the legs, they smell bad.
In order for children to better remember what are the differences between real and false agarics, you can learn the quatrain with them:
Edible mushroom
There is a film ring on the leg.
And all false agarics
Legs are bare to the toes.
Boletus, porcini mushrooms
Boletus in translation means "mushroom growing in coniferous forests - pine forests". White mushroom is a representative of a species of the Boletovye family, this is the second name for boletus.
Porcini mushrooms have a cap of different colors, it can be from dark brown to light, it depends on the place of their growth. White dense pulp does not change its color with different types of workpieces. They can be dried, salted, fried.
Ryzhiki
Ginger has a great taste. He lives in places where spruce grows. Its flesh is bright orange, the color turns blue on the cut. The leg is short.
Irina Selyutina (Biologist):
Camelina mushrooms are characterized by their own parasitic fungi. Representatives of the brick-red Pekiella species, belonging to the Hypomyceteaceous family, often settle on their fruit bodies. During its development, its mycelium causes a reduction of the hymenophore plates and almost completely covers the entire underside of the cap of the mushroom. Lovers of "quiet hunting" call such mushrooms "stone" or "deaf". Mycologists say that the plates in this case lose the ability to form spores. Mushroom pickers and experts agree on the nutritional value - picking such mushrooms is not recommended.
Before cooking, mushrooms do not require cooking, they only need soaking.
Milk mushrooms
The mushrooms are characterized by a whitish funnel-shaped cap, a light-colored leg in the shape of a cylinder. Milk mushrooms are used for pickles.
Chanterelles
Chanterelles are not wormy, they grow on the territory of coniferous, birch, mixed forests.
Irina Selyutina (Biologist):
Among fans of mushrooming, chanterelles are highly valued for their excellent taste and the almost complete absence of insect larvae (which we more commonly call "worms") in the fruit bodies. This is due to the presence in the pulp of a special compound - chinomannose, which is a natural shield of the fungus from parasites (antihelmintic) that seek to feast on it.
The spore-bearing layer of the chanterelle consists of pseudo-plates - thick, sparse and branched folds, of the same color as the cap, which descend along the stem and blur the border between it and the cap. It is this and the peculiarity of the formation of spores that served as the basis for the allocation of chanterelles to the Chanterelle family
Volnushki
Usually mushroom pickers collect white and pink waves.
The pink flower has a lot of synonyms:
- volzhanka;
- wave;
- broth;
- krasul;
- volnyanka.
These mushrooms are common on mosses, in swampy areas, in shaded areas. The wave has a pink hat, its height is 5-7 cm, a leg is 2 cm in diameter. In the middle of the cap there is a depression, which disappears as it grows.
White wave, or as it is also called - white, volzhanka, grows among birches, its height reaches 4 cm. A hat with a depressed center. The color is dark in the middle, light at the edges. Harvested from August.
Flywheels
Flywheels taste great
The flywheel is a category 3 edible mushroom with excellent flavor. Flywheels are boiled, canned, fried, pickled, dried. The moss grows along roads, at the edges of forests and among bushes.
Boletus (redheads)
Boletus boletuses have a bright orange cap and grow in mixed forests next to aspen trees, they taste good and are used for boiling, frying, drying and pickling.
Bearings
The leaflet belongs to russula, it is called:
- thresher;
- spurge;
- lump is red-brown.
The base has a dense cap with a diameter of up to 10 cm, it is flat in shape, and tends to crack. The color of the cap ranges from red to yellow-brown.
The pulp is white, fleshy, dense. Its smell is described in different ways: to someone it resembles a herring, to someone the smell of pear flowers, and someone does not feel it at all. When cut, a white milky sap is released, which turns brown and thickens in air.
Russula
Russula are a common type of edible mushroom that grows in deciduous, coniferous forests. The collection begins in August.
