Best autumn mushroom: blackberry
Each family has its own mushroom preferences: someone, throwing all the things, breaks out onto a week's layer of mushrooms, summer chanterelles are dear to someone, but for me a better fungus than a modest autumn black-head was and will not be. Let's leave him the usual name of the black birch bark, although many authors who give their recommendations for collecting and harvesting these mushrooms do not even know what it looks like. Well, get acquainted.
This is how he describes himself in his youth. The body is dense, the hat is round, the crazy dynamics of the lines. Not a mushroom, but a fairy tale. Contrary to popular belief, this fungus is not a single, but a group one, i.e. growing large family. And the main hunting interest is to find the leader of the pack. If there are less than 10 pieces in the mushroom group you collected from one place, then either someone else hunted you, or you yourself are a hunter yourself.
Where and why search black mackerel mushrooms
On the second question my answer will be enoughobvious. It is not every mushroom picker who can find brittle heads in dense grass or even on open mossy spaces. The dark hat on the background of the blackening autumn foliage, and even covered with the fibers of the withered grass - this is a grandiose mystery for any budding mushroom picker. But in the first position, we already have excitement, which leads our body and mind into motion.
Secondly, this amazing mushroom is afraid to visitforest worm parasites. Those mushroom pickers who brought home baskets filled with pads and sacks, know perfectly well that the black birch bark - a mushroom is absolutely clean, sometimes even surpassing the stability of its red relatives. So, there is already a necessary arsenal for winter harvesting.
Even grown up in not the most favorable conditionsblack birchbark, which look something like this, become a serious prey in the war with the mushroom god. On the question, where do these miracle - mushrooms grow, I answer absolutely sincerely: in the swamp. And what do you want, we have in Russia all the wonders only in the swamps and you will find.
I want to clarify that the fungus black eye canreach in diameter not nine, but 20 cm, while remaining strong, powerful and ready for any use. The leg on the cut darkens (a bluish-green hue), and this is also a sign of a real fungus. Collect this miracle of nature without fear of fakes, doubles and false fellows. To our great happiness, Mother Nature could not create an analogue of this fungus.
Any mushroom picker, which from the end of August to the beginningOctober does not hesitate to ride in electric trains, pulling on clumsy marsh boots, is guaranteed to provide his family with not just tasty, but also amazingly beautiful mushrooms - blackheads. Suppose that you believed us, went to the nearest to your dacha section hmychniki and brought the full basket of sun-playing blackheads. What to do with them further?
We marinate, dry, salt mushrooms
The development of events with this miracle - fungus canoccur in this sequence. The best specimens (small and krepenkie), boiled and marinated together with other mushrooms, will give your winter canning a special piquancy. A dark fighter against the backdrop of little butteries or thick mushrooms is, believe me, something.
When you have calmed the kids in the marinade, contactto their older brothers: black birch bark - an ideal raw material for drying and salting. Even in the rainiest, damp summer, the hats of these mushrooms practically do not accumulate moisture, so any drying procedure proposed by us in the article "How to Dry Mushrooms at Home" is ideal for our beauties.
Remember that the black eye, like any otherthe fungus with strongly expressed intercellular communication allows to produce blanks without a special division into fragments. Agree, soak, boil and use for culinary purposes better large mushroom fractions than dried mushroom dust.
All the rest collected by the works of your familyBlack-headed gang, including those not attracted to pickling and drying the legs of mushrooms, we sincerely advise you to pickle, that is to say. add another unusually pleasant note to your mushroom assortment. All my guests, catching from the dish with salt mushrooms black hair, usually say "Va-ah." What do you want!
