Poisonous mushrooms: false honey agarics, photo
Autumn, time for holidays, time for recoveryexhausted for the year of the body. Someone travels far in search of previously unavailable foreign happiness, and clever people in the old fashion are selected in the fertile Russian forests, which, fortunately, have not yet managed to cut down and sell everything.
Autumnal mushroom picking is traditionally rich, but notalways pleases lovers of quiet hunting with an abundance of "noble" mushrooms honored in the people. Willy-nilly, and sometimes quite consciously, mushroom pickers remember the wonderful representative of the mushroom family - the autumnal (present) fall.
Before you gather in the woods for the harvest of these mushrooms, we remind you how they usually look.
A persistent misconception that the firearms live onfallen trees, stumps or deciduous windbreaks is completely wrong. The mycelium of the fungus perfectly creates more stable symbiotic connections even in dry coniferous thickets, it is attached to alder, willow, and generally settles where it is convenient.
One trouble: next to the beautiful, tasty real honey-mushrooms, their poisonous brothers are no less successful. Therefore, lovers of pickled, salted or just toasted with potatoes, we once again recall the characteristic features of this autumnal assessment.
False firearms: how to distinguish
We carefully look at the bonnet. Young mushrooms, growing in the form of a grape cluster, have pronounced scales on their heads. The color of the cap may vary greatly and curl primarily from the conditions of growth: soil type, woody surroundings, and finally weather. In any case, if you find the beginning or middle of the layer, it will be very easy for you to distinguish a delicate mushroom from its bald brethren, no matter how it looks.
The most important distinguishing feature of thisan allowance that allows even the beginning mushroomer to orientate in an unmistakable way in the abundance of the autumn swamp forest is a film on the lower part of the hats of young mushrooms or its remains in the form of a skirt on the legs of grown-up brethren. The people have already invented even a children's rhyme on this score: "A fine cut on the leg has a ring of film ...". This skirt can look different in different ways, but it is usually well visible.
Going to the woods for a rich harvest, you can, neverthelessit is worth taking an experienced guide. Any pictures from mushroom atlases or articles like ours do not give a real idea of the conditions of life of these fungi in your area. Many stereotypes crumble when going to the nearest forest. Controversy may be surprisingly easy to develop forest areas, which, in the opinion of true connoisseurs of mushrooming, can never and under no circumstances become a place of their growth. They become, and even like: they crawl up and on the grass hide.
And after them, no less aggressively growingpoisonous brotherhood. Immediately note that false honey agarics do not have the solidity of our culinary pets, but sometimes it seems very mimicry for them. Often beginning mushroom pickers, suffering from the absence of a large forest harvest, are attracted by the heap germination of false spatter. Like and the mushrooms seem pretty, and a lot. Fly, collect, cook and eat ...
A few recommendations to such brave souls. Poisonous or inedible mushrooms (including honey agarics) have a brighter, coloring and unpleasant odor. With the simplest soaking, false frowns, as a rule, begin to change color: turn black or turn blue. If you have any doubts about the quality of the mushrooms you have collected, discard them without regret.
You will still get the mushrooms, but you have one health. We can show you some kinds of false fumes in their natural environment, but how to act in a specific forest environment is a private matter for each mushroom picker. To take or not to take, that is the question. False honey agarics are divided into several species.
Some of them belong to the categoryconditional-edible, for example, falsely-eyed Candol, but we do not recommend experimenting with these mushrooms. It is better just to learn how to correctly find and in time to collect the proven autumn autumnal fork ordinary. Good luck!
