What we want to talk about, interesta maternal fungus can not. Lovers who indulge in hiking for mushrooms and perceive them as one of the forms of active involvement in nature, diluting picnics in the nearby forest plantations, may be interested in our advice.

Five wands for the mushroom blanks
Here we will tell you about those mushrooms thatundeservedly drop out of the basket mushroom picker in the presence of their more "noble" brethren. Names they have a lot, change them in each locality, so just in case the description we accompany the photo.
Ryadovka. The name is generalizing for the whole family, inwhich includes 2500 individuals of the fungal genus-tribe. We will only talk about the most delicious and harmless representatives: gray and purple, widely distributed in coniferous and mixed forests of northern regions of Russia.
Plateous fungus with dense flesh, cap 4-12cm, first conical with flat outlines, to old age unfolded with tears. The name of the fungus is speaking: it grows along the body of the mycelium in orderly lines. Two or three good places, and your basket is full. Mushrooms are ready for consumption (frying, pickling, pickling) after simple heat treatment, and their broth resembles the taste of chicken broth.

Serushka (peas, gray mlechnik, plantain, etc.). It grows in birch, aspen, mixed forests from July to October. The hat is 5-8 cm, with an obvious tubercle in youth and a funnel in adulthood with a pink to dark gray color. Breaks from the mycelium usually large families, so problems with the search usually does not happen. Refers to conditionally edible fungi, but after soaking in cold water (3-5 days) and cooking (30 minutes) with shine replace the freckles in the combined salinity.
Valuy (he's a bullhead). The fungus is widely distributed in deciduous and mixed forests and fructifies from July until late autumn. Peak forms in August, when many forest edges literally overgrown with these sturdy. The hat keeps globular shape for a long time, the surface is glossy, the body is strong. If you do not have white mushrooms or gingerbread in your private forests, it may well replace them in winter harvesting. Just do not forget to soak the steers for several days before cooking (at least 30 minutes).

Greenfinch. Another species of the family rowing,which we deduce in separate consideration because of the frightening many poisonous colors. Our ancestors knew and appreciated the taste of this mushroom. The area of distribution of green cones is usually limited to dry coniferous forests with sandy soil. The fungal body is fleshy, dense, and the color of the plates of the cap up to 15 cm in diameter can range from lemon yellow to green hues. When cooking, the mushrooms retain their shape well, so they are ideal for billets.
The Moss. From the whole family we will stop atyellow-brown varieties of this fungus, which is most widely distributed in the middle band. Usually these mushrooms, closely tied to pine forests, coexist in fruitful years with borax whites. And, of course, they lose to the mushroom king in a competitive battle.
However, sometimes mushroom pickers forget to look for ittreasure and during the "dead season", depriving themselves of delicacy pickled and salted young mosses. Rusty they can and in the abandoned areas of land improvement near your dacha, so do not hesitate once again to stroll along the neighboring marshes. Maybe it is there that you are waiting for mushroom happiness. And we will try in the following articles to help you find it again this season.
