Where to collect mushrooms

Good growth of fungi depends on the type of soil, the degree of its moisture, and also on the surrounding vegetation. Hat mushrooms that are suitable for food,should be found where soil contains humus. The soil must be perfectly warmed by the sun. Such places are glades, forest edges, places along roads and paths, glades, elevations, slopes and ditches. The latter can be slightly shaded.

Mushrooms are rich in mixed, coniferous and deciduous forests, as well as birch groves. Each fungus grows on a certainterritory and has its own "patron". This means that the soil near the roots of the tree has a greater plant power, which is transferred to the fungus, provoking its active growth and development.

Note that some poisonous mushrooms canmasquerade as edible, so it's better to grab the mushroom guide or call with an experienced mushroom picker. As is known, fungi grow actively at a humidity of 80% and at an air temperature of +1 to +22 degrees Celsius. Where to collect mushrooms if the summer is cool and rainy? They should be sought away from trees or on high ground. If the summer was dry, the mushrooms hid under the shade of the foliage or in damp ditches and lowlands.

If you plan to look for mushrooms in dense thickets, tall grass or marsh, then you will not see the crop. Also mushrooms do not grow in excessively wet anddark places. Growth of mushrooms is followed by a certain wavy cycle: a plentiful crop is replaced by a period when the appearance of fungi becomes rare or they practically do not grow. Then again, a period of high yields is resumed.

If you find one edible mushroom, it's worthsearch for his "family", because they usually grow hefty. In no case can you tear the mushroom from the root, pick and trample the soil. It is necessary to carefully cut off the fungus with a knife, clean it of the clogged debris and lay it tightly in the basket with the cap down. Get a stick that has a bifurcated end. They will lift up the grass, the fallen leaves and branches of trees, so as not to bend over again and do not dig your hands in the vegetation.

In mixed forests, there are Podišinoviks and oily mushrooms,mosses and pimples. In polar latitudes, you can find the same mushrooms as in mixed forests, as well as russules, morels and umbrella mushrooms. In the highlands you can easily find different kinds of champignons. In the steppes you will find morels and champignons.
