Biography of mushroom pickers

Это не просто прогулка или поход — поскольку вам в том числе предстоит ходить вне дорог и тропинок, вот краткий список вещей, которые точно необходимы для комфорта и безопасности. Just sneakers are not enough - it is better that these are high boots or even rubber boots. For reason, mushroom pickers most often go in the latter: most likely, in the forest there is much more damp than outside, and also, perhaps, you will meet with wetlands.

Warm clothing. To clothes, the same requirements as to shoes - it should be closed and designed for more serious tests cold and damp than outside the forest. In general, you can’t do without outdoor, and perhaps the thermal underwear will not be superfluous. And do not neglect the heading, so as not to shake the leaves and branches from the hairstyle. Basket or bucket. Actually, the container, where the mushrooms have to be collected, is better that it is something hard, and not a bag in which delicate fruit bodies are remembered.

Folding or in a dense case - to cut off the finds, clean the legs and check them for worms. Be sure to take something with you-preferably hot, for this a small thermos is useful for, for example, such or such. A remedy for insects. Of course, in the fall there are fewer mosquitoes than in summer, but the ticks have not yet hibernated, so take the repellent spell with you and process their clothes.

Charged mobile phone with pre -saved cards of the district. If you do not have mushroom places in mind, ask friends and acquaintances - of course, not every mushroom pickered is ready to share their secret lands, but at least you can get a direction. If there are no mushroom pickers in your environment, the easiest way to find good places is to turn to thematic groups in social networks look for them from the code words “mushroom pickers” and the name of the region: by the way, you can still find out for what species the season began, how many mushrooms in the forest, and also ask for help in determining unfamiliar mushrooms.

Since you have entered the mycological path, know the main rules of this club and yes, they can and should be told to others. First and most importantly - collect only familiar mushrooms, do not take those copies that are not sure. If you want to study them and ask experienced people later, put separately from the rest. Mushrooms can be very, very poisonous, and if such breaks and crumble in the basket, then they will spoil the entire crop.

The second - collect only in environmentally friendly places. Say confident “no” to mushrooms that grow along the highway: their fruit bodies, that is, is just the part that we put in the basket have the ability to absorb heavy metals and other harmful impurities from the air. So even edible species become poisonous. The younger the fruit body, the better. Leave the old, rushing mushrooms, leave the cycle of the forest ecosystem - they will be tasteless and can ruin the whole dish.

About how to assemble - cut a mushroom or twist out of a forest litter - disputes are constantly happening among mushroom pickers. In fact, know that you will not damage the mushroom mushroom if you thin the mushroom “with the root”: it is very large and occupies a several square meters at least underground. Try to get a fruit body in order to minimally damage it itself and the surrounding space.

It is better to immediately cut off the dirty part, so that later it is less busy with cleaning. The noble mushrooms beloved by all - white, boletus, boletus - are often worm: usually this is visible by points on the lower surface of the hat. If the mushroom is not very young, it is better to check immediately, cutting part of the legs. Small worm does not make the mushroom unsuitable - it will simply need to be soaked in salt water.

Finally, it is best to go for mushrooms in the morning. Just because there are more chances to get ahead of other mushroom pickers! Some mushrooms grow literally in a day, so if someone has passed yesterday or a couple of days ago, then you have every chance to fill in the basket, and if today, you will stay with nothing. But what if you do not have an experienced companion who will help to understand mushroom intricacies?

What of the found in the forest can definitely be put in the basket, but what to bypass? Here are a few species with which you can start. These bright red mushrooms with a leg, turning into a hat-pea with plates from below, you are unlikely to be confused with anything. The chanterelles have no poisonous doubles, they are unique in their own way and are beautiful in taste and aroma.

If you find one, carefully look nearby - usually the chanterelles grow “families” from several mushrooms. White mushrooms. With the famous boobs, “kings of mushrooms”, you need to be a little more accurate - they have several inedible “brothers”. Real white from false can be distinguished by the following signs: the leg is monophonic, white or beige is not yellow!

They have a brown hat and pockmarked, in black films a leg. On the cut, the pulp does not blush, and if it turns blue, then this is already a boot: they also come with a brown hat! The lower surface is spongy, grayish in adult mushrooms.They are distinguished by a red -haired hat and an actively blue pulp from the bribeons. Not only simulators can blue, but also, for example, oak workers, mossy, some oils - they are also edible.

And the Satanic mushroom and the bile are also blue-the dangerous doubles of white, so we repeat once again: if something looks like a white mushroom, but turns blue, pass by. Another mushroom in which you hardly get confused. Raws, maybe not delicacious, but they are easy to handle, and they can really be even raw. The rawers have a bright color hat without specks and drawings - red, yellow, even greenish, white plates from below, the same white leg without a skirt - elastic and with a hollow hole on the cut.

Some species can be bitter - they are not poisonous, but the taste is so -so, so try a small piece before collecting. There are also honey mushrooms, massively growing on dry birches, or black loads and shawls that will be great to salivate, oil, waves with redders and many others. But it is better not to rely on descriptions with them, but to ask an experienced mushroom picked to conduct a live excursion on everything that can be found in the forests of the middle strip.

The boletus boletus is what to do with the crop, try to make out the mushrooms at once, as you come home - so you will definitely not allow the crop to deteriorate because the delicate tubular hats can be mentioned - then they will quickly begin to rot, and if the worm is still closed among the mushrooms, then he can “infect” others. Clean the mushrooms of forest garbage, leaves and twigs, sort by types or dishes that you want to cook from them.

What kind of culinary delights to let the collected, you decide: do not forget that some types will need preliminary processing in the form of soaking or wiping among those that we advised above, there are no such ones, but suddenly you went with an experienced mushroom pipe and gained loaders, waves or shawls to the salting. We load the fox at the top and the redhead below.
