Types of false mushrooms
If the mushroom picker has just begun to comprehend the basics of quiet hunting, then it is better not for him to go to the forest alone. It is recommended to take with you a person who understands mushrooms and can distinguish edible from poisonous.
If an inexperienced mushroom picker is still going to go into the forest alone, then he needs to take only those species that are not in doubt. Most often confused with edible mushrooms:
- satanic and bilious. These species are often mistaken for porcini mushrooms that grow abundantly in the Smolensk region. But in fact, the gall mushroom is unsuitable for food because of its bitter taste, and the satanic one is poisonous. They differ in that the bottom of the cap has a pink or red tint. Poisonous mushrooms have one more sign: if you break the cap, it will first turn dark at the site of damage, and then change its shade to red;
- false mushrooms. They can be confused with real mushrooms. It is very easy to distinguish these species from each other. The main feature of edible mushrooms is the presence of a ring on the stem. Poisonous ones do not have it. In addition, good mushrooms have a brown-yellow hat, false ones - red or yellow-green.
It is also not recommended to pick mushrooms, inside of which a large amount of liquid has accumulated. This indicates damage or over-ripening. Such mushrooms can release harmful substances and turn from edible to poisonous.

Into the forest to pick mushrooms How these words please us! Yes, this is understandable! Who doesn't love mushroom picking? Many amazing things are revealed to those who begin to delve into their secrets. People have written incredible stories about these strange creatures of nature. The sudden appearance of a large number of mushrooms was attributed now to lightning strikes, then to dew, and in the Middle Ages - even to evil spirits.
Scientists have long thought about which kingdom of nature to attribute these extraordinary creatures - to plants, animals or minerals. And as a result, they were allocated into an independent kingdom - mushrooms. Animals need mushrooms: squirrels, moose, bears feed on them, they are pecked by capercaillie and black grouse. For them, mushrooms are not only a delicacy, but also a medicine. We humans need to know that mushrooms grow not only for us. The life of mushrooms depends on the weather. They love warmth and humidity. If the weather is dry, the mycelium seems to freeze.
Don't pick one mushroom for fun. Who will cook or fry one mushroom for you? No one. Then don't rip it off. Mushrooms not only decorate the forest, but also carry their ecological function. Even fly agarics and toadstools are needed by the forest: their mycelium feeds the roots with moisture and nitrogen. A real mushroom picker will not leave old mushrooms that are not suitable for collection in place. He will cut them off and then hang them on a branch of a tree. When the mushroom dries up, the wind will blow away its particles, they will germinate, and a new mycelium will form - the basis of the future harvest.
Once upon a time, forest belts were created in the steppe regions to protect crops from dry winds. And it turned out that the trees grow very poorly here. Something they lack. Have noticed: there are no mushrooms. Then, from the old forests rich in mushrooms, they brought land with mycelium. Soon, mushrooms also appeared in young plantings. And what? The forest seemed to come to life, the trees have noticeably increased in growth, strength, health. Trees and mushrooms, it turns out, are friends with each other. Thin, white, spiderweb-like filaments of mycelium stretch to the roots of trees, entwine them, fuse with them. The mycelium becomes, as it were, an extension of the root. It sucks in from the soil and sends water to the tree with mineral salts dissolved in it. And the tree gives the fungus the nutrients that are formed in the green leaves. Some mushrooms are friends with different trees, others - with some specific ones. We usually find a boletus under a birch, a boletus under an aspen, a mushroom under a pine and spruce, an oil can under a pine, and a porcini mushroom under a birch, spruce, pine, oak. In addition, mushrooms can enter into commonwealth with shrubs and even herbs.
But this is not the only reason why mushrooms are needed by the forest. Here is a slug on a large birch tree. Are you not happy that he ruined the mushroom? But the slug has every right to this mushroom. He is a legal resident in the forest. Here, a squirrel left a mark of its claws and teeth on a mushroom cap. And this young boletus was bitten off by a vole. In a word, many animals eat mushrooms. The squirrel, as you know, even stores them for the winter, pricks them into twigs. Animal tastes don't always match ours. They do not ignore mushrooms that are dangerous for us, for example, fly agaric. They do not disdain slugs, magpies, squirrels. And moose swallow these mushrooms whole, sometimes several pieces at once. Amanita muscaria is a medicine that helps get rid of worms. Perhaps other animals are treated with them.
It must also be remembered that many mushrooms are involved in the processing of plant residues in the forest: they destroy stumps, fallen trunks, fallen branches, dead foliage. These are the orderlies of the forest, which you cannot do without.
But how often a person, walking through the forest, kicks or knocks down fly agarics, valuei and even russula with a stick. Doing so means not respecting the forest, not understanding, not loving it!
And if we talk about fly agaric, then this mushroom helps to grow pines, spruces, birches and other trees. It also decorates the forest. This is also important.
And boletus This mushroom brings joy, admiration, respect. What other mushroom, having cut it, is held in their hands for so long, without haste to put it in the basket ?! What other mushroom always counts even in the most mushroom place ?!
Why is the boletus called white? After all, his hat is brown, and the leg is not entirely white. But because porcini mushrooms always remain white - both in a frying pan, and in soup, and in dried form. That's why they are white. As for another name - boletus, then according to the law it can be attributed only to one of the varieties porcini mushroom- to the pine. It is these mushrooms that are found in pine forests. Their cap is reddish-brown, and the leg is usually very thick. Therefore, the mushroom looks important, pompous, his real majesty. But we used to call any porcini mushrooms boletus. And their spruce variety, with a brown cap, and oak, with a lighter, slightly grayish cap, and birch, with an even lighter (yellowish or even almost white) cap. Scientists identify other varieties of porcini mushroom - only about two dozen.
The people call the white mushroom "the king of mushrooms", and sometimes "the colonel".
There were terrible stories. V different years and in different countries eating mushrooms, the emperor, then the king, then the pope died in agony. It happened that they died from mushroom treachery in Russia. Still, in Russia they usually lived with mushrooms in the world. They knew well and, as a rule, did not confuse edible with poisonous.
As in everything, in relation to mushrooms, some people are extremely suspicious, others are careless. We need a middle ground. In this case, one must remember:
1. Don't pick mushrooms that you don't know.
2. Do not pick those mushrooms in the edibility of which there is even the slightest doubt.
3. Constantly replenish your knowledge about mushrooms - then there will be less doubts.
Amanita is the easiest way. It would never occur to anyone to cook a roast out of it. Mushrooms - doubles are another matter. The porcini mushroom has an inedible double. This is a gall fungus, or false white. Here's how to tell them apart. The “king of mushrooms” has a white and yellowish cap on the bottom, a white mesh pattern on the leg, the flesh on the cut remains white. His imitator has a pink hat on the bottom, a black mesh on the leg, the flesh turns pink on the cut. Inedible mushrooms are not necessarily poisonous. There is no poison in the gall mushroom - it's just very bitter, like bile.
But the twins of honey agarics are poisonous. In the summer honey fungus, the plates on the cap are cream or brown, and in its counterpart, the false foam is gray-yellow, greenish. In addition, as the name suggests, the general color of the double is some kind of unpleasant, poisonous. These mushrooms often grow nearby, they can be found both in summer and autumn. At the end of summer, autumn, or real, mushroom appears. It can be fried, salted, dried, pickled. Eating this mushroom in any form, you will get great pleasure. Unless, of course, you collect the cinnamon red false froth by mistake. This mushroom has a brighter, really cinnamon-red cap, and the plates are gray and even black. Its pulp is yellow with an unpleasant odor. In real honeydew, the plates are yellowish-white with dark specks, and the flesh is white with a good mushroom aroma.
The most dangerous of the poisonous mushrooms is the pale toadstool. It is almost impossible to save a person who has been poisoned by it. The point is not only in the exceptional power of the poison, but also in the fact that the first signs of poisoning - headache, dizziness, blurred vision, a feeling of anxiety - appear only after 10-12 or even 30 hours. During this time, the poison has already thoroughly "worked" in the body, so that with any treatment there is little hope of recovery. A pale toadstool looks like a champignon. But in the champignon, the plates are pink, with age - purple, and in the toadstool - pure white. This is a very reliable sign. In addition, the toadstool has a torn pouch at the base of the leg, which the champignon does not have. True, this bag is often immersed in moss, in soil and is not striking. Above, the cap of a pale toadstool is greenish.
However, if you come across a similar mushroom with a white rather than a greenish cap, beware of it no less than a pale toadstool. Because this is her relative - a white toadstool, also deadly poisonous.
