Smolensk mushrooms. Map of mushroom places in the Smolensk region. Mushroom places of the Smolensk region

In the forest for mushrooms How these words make us happy! Yes, this is understandable! Who doesn't love picking mushrooms? Many amazing things are revealed to those who begin to delve into their secrets. About these strange creatures of nature, people composed incredible stories. The sudden appearance of a large number of mushrooms was attributed either to lightning strikes, or to dew, and in the Middle Ages - even to evil spirits.

Scientists have long thought to which kingdom of nature to attribute these extraordinary creatures - to plants, animals or minerals. And as a result, they singled out mushrooms as an independent kingdom. Mushrooms are needed by animals: squirrels, moose, bears feed on them, capercaillie, black grouse peck them. Mushrooms for them are not only a delicacy, but also a medicine. We humans need to know that mushrooms don't just grow 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.

Do not pick one mushroom for fun. Who will boil or fry one mushroom for you? Nobody. Then you don't have to cut it. Mushrooms not only decorate the forest, but also carry their ecological function. Even fly agarics and grebes are needed by the forest: their mycelium nourishes the roots with moisture and nitrogen. A real mushroom picker will not leave old mushrooms that are not suitable for harvesting in place. He will cut them off and then hang them on a branch of a tree. When the mushroom dries, the wind will spread its particles, they will germinate, and a new mycelium will form - the basis of the future crop.

Once upon a time, in the steppe regions, forest belts were created to protect crops from dry winds. And it turned out that the trees grow very poorly here. Something they lack. Note: no mushrooms. Then land with mycelium was brought from the old forests rich in mushrooms. Soon, mushrooms also appeared in young plantings. And what? The forest seemed to come to life, the trees noticeably increased in growth, strength, and health. Trees and mushrooms, it turns out, are friends with each other. Thin, white, cobweb-like threads of mycelium stretch to the roots of trees, braid them, grow together with them. The mushroom picker becomes, as it were, a continuation of the root. It sucks water from the soil and sends it to the tree with mineral salts dissolved in it. And the tree gives the fungus nutrients that are formed in green leaves. Some mushrooms are friends with different trees, others with some specific ones. We usually find the boletus under the birch, the boletus under the aspen, the camelina under the pine and spruce, the butterdish under the pine, and the porcini mushroom under the birch, spruce, pine, oak. In addition, mushrooms can enter into a commonwealth with shrubs and even herbs.

But this is not the only reason why the forest needs mushrooms. Here is a slug on a large boletus. Are you unhappy that he ruined the mushroom? But the slug has every right to this mushroom. He is a legal resident in the forest. Here, on the mushroom hat, the squirrel left a mark of its claws and teeth. And a vole gnawed off the side of this young boletus. In a word, many animals eat mushrooms. The squirrel, as you know, even stores them for the winter, pierces them on twigs. The tastes of animals do not always match ours. They do not bypass the dangerous mushrooms for us, for example, fly agaric. Slugs, magpies, squirrels do not disdain them. And moose swallow these mushrooms whole, sometimes several at once. Fly agaric for moose 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, and dead leaves. These are the orderlies of the forest, without which you can not do.

But how often a person, walking through the forest, kicks or knocks down fly agaric, valui and even russula with a stick. To do so means not to respect the forest, not to understand, not to love it!

And if we talk about fly agaric, then this fungus helps pines, spruces, birches and other trees grow. It also decorates the forest. It's also important.

A boletus This mushroom brings joy, admiration, respect. What other mushroom, having cut off, is held in hands for so long, not in a hurry to put it in a basket ?! What other mushroom always counts even in the mushroom place itself?!

And why is the boletus called white? After all, his hat is brown, and the leg is not quite white. But because porcini mushrooms always remain porcini - both in a frying pan, and in soup, and in dried form. That's why they're white. As for the other name - boletus, then according to the law it is attributed to only one of the varieties of porcini mushroom - to pine. It is these mushrooms that are found in pine forests. Their hat is reddish-brown, and the stem is usually very thick. Therefore, the mushroom looks important, pompous, his real majesty. But we are accustomed to call any white mushrooms mushrooms. And their spruce variety, with a brown hat, and oak, with a lighter, slightly grayish hat, and birch, with an even lighter (yellowish or even almost white) hat. Scientists identify other varieties of white fungus - only about two dozen.

In the people, the white mushroom is called the "king of mushrooms", and sometimes the "colonel".

There were terrible stories. In different years and in different countries, having eaten mushrooms, either the emperor, the king, or the pope died in agony. It happened that they died from mushroom deceit in Russia. But still, in Rus' they usually lived with mushrooms in peace. They knew well and, as a rule, did not confuse edible with poisonous ones.

As in everything, in relation to mushrooms, some people are extremely suspicious, others are careless. We need a golden mean. In doing so, you must remember:

1. Don't pick mushrooms you don't know.

2. Do not pick those mushrooms, the edibility of which there is even the slightest doubt.

3. Constantly replenish your knowledge about mushrooms - then there will be less doubts.

Fly agaric is the easiest. No one would think to cook a roast out of it. Another thing - mushrooms - twins. 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 hat below, a pattern in the form of a white mesh on the leg, the flesh remains white on the cut. His imitator has a pink hat below, 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 fungus - it is just very bitter, like bile.

But the twins are honey mushrooms - poisonous. In the summer honey agaric, the plates on the hat are cream or brown, and in its twin, the false honey agaric is gray-yellow, greenish. In addition, as the name shows, the overall color of the double is somehow unpleasant, poisonous. These mushrooms often grow nearby, you can meet them both in summer and in autumn. At the end of summer, autumn, or real, honey agaric appears. It can be fried, salted, dried, marinated. Eating this mushroom in any form, you will get great pleasure. Unless, of course, you collect cinnamon-red false foam by mistake. This mushroom has a brighter, really cinnamon-red hat, and the plates are gray and even black. Its flesh is yellow with an unpleasant odor. In real honey agaric, the plates are yellowish-white with dark spots, and the flesh is white with a good mushroom aroma.

The most dangerous of the poisonous mushrooms is the pale grebe. It is almost impossible to save a person who has been poisoned by it. The point is not only the exceptional power of the poison, but also 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 for recovery. Pale grebe is similar to champignon. But in champignon, the plates are pink, with age they are purple, and in the toadstool they are pure white. This is a very reliable sign. In addition, the pale grebe has a torn pouch at the base of the leg, which is not present in mushrooms. True, this bag is often immersed in moss, in the soil and is not striking. From above, the hat of the pale grebe is greenish.

However, if you meet a similar mushroom with a white, and not with a greenish hat, beware of it no less than a pale grebe. Because, this is her relative - a white toadstool, also deadly poisonous.

What do we put in the bowl

Mushroom pickers unanimously assure that the forests of the Smolensk region are now full of chanterelles. You also have a chance to put the first boletus, boletus and boletus in the basket. And in a couple of weeks and until the end of September, the “catch” will become even richer: white mushrooms will “ripen up” and a little later honey mushrooms.

We leave the toadstools to the forest!

It is difficult to deceive experienced mushroom pickers with poisonous mushrooms, but beginners can get caught. Therefore, heed the advice of forest experts.

The easiest way to avoid mushroom poisoning is to only collect mushrooms that you know well. It is better to go to the forest with a partner who knows well what edible and poisonous mushrooms look like. If you doubt any of the "gifts of the forest", it's better not to touch it at all!

The most valuable mushroom - white - has dangerous counterparts: bile and satanic mushrooms. Poisonous "fakes" differ from white in that their underside of the cap is not white or yellowish, like a boletus, but pink or even red. If you break the cap of the porcini mushroom, it will not change its color, and the broken caps of the gall and satanic mushrooms will first turn red, then turn black.

An inexperienced picker may pick up false mushrooms instead of real ones. Remember: in edible mushrooms, the hat is brownish-yellow, on the leg there is a film that looks like a ring. False mushrooms have a yellow-green or reddish hat, and there is no ring on the leg.

If the mushrooms are excessively soaked in water, this indicates that they are overgrown or damaged. During the decay process, harmful substances can be formed, such as the poison neurin, as a result of which even edible mushrooms can become poisonous.

We collect according to the rules

More mushrooms will be brought home by those who know how to collect them correctly. Experienced mushroom pickers advise:

Going for mushrooms, you should take with you a small knife, a stick with a forked end, so that it is more convenient to push grass, dry leaves, needles and even branches. The most convenient container for mushrooms is a basket. Buckets, backpacks and especially plastic bags are not suitable. In them, the mushrooms "burn", crumble, crumple.

The collected mushrooms are immediately cleaned of the earth adhering to them, leaves, needles, grass and other debris; remove parts affected by insect larvae. Heavily contaminated lower parts of the legs are cut off. It is more correct to put the mushrooms in the basket with the caps down - this way they are better preserved.

Only young mushrooms with sufficiently dense pulp are suitable for food. The old, wormy, overripe mushroom must be thrown away, but not on the ground, where it will rot uselessly. It is better to strung his hat on a branch of a tree or bush so that it dries. Then the wind will disperse the mushroom seeds - spores, and you will be able to return next season to the same place for a new mushroom harvest.

Mushrooms are harvested early in the morning, before the sun heats them up. In this case, the "prey" can be stored for a longer time. Mushrooms, heated by the sun and tightly packed in a basket in a thick layer, quickly deteriorate - they become covered with mucus and emit an unpleasant odor. Such mushrooms are already, of course, impossible.

When an edible mushroom comes across, in no case pull it out of the ground, but carefully cut it off with a knife at the base, be sure to leave part of the leg in the ground. Thus, the mushroom place is preserved for a longer time. After cutting the mushroom, check if it is wormy. In addition, cutting mushrooms with a knife, we at the same time clean their leg from adhering earth.

It is best to transport mushrooms in baskets or wooden boxes, placing no more than 2.5 kilograms of mushrooms in them.

September is perhaps the most mushroom month in central Russia, and the Smolensk region has always been famous for its lands for “quiet hunting”. The most important information for the Smolensk mushroom picker in infographics - Map of mushroom places in the Smolensk region. According to many years of observations of mushroom pickers, which they share on specialized resources, five areas are considered the most mushroom in the Smolensk region - Demidovsky, Velizhsky, Krasninsky, Dukhovshchinsky and Monastyrshchinsky. From the point of view of science, this is explained by the climatic conditions of the western regions - a little more humid due to frequent cyclones, with an abundance of desas and lakes, in particular glacial ones in the Demidov region.

What do we put in the bowl
Mushroom pickers unanimously assure that the forests of the Smolensk region are now full of chanterelles. You also have a chance to put the first boletus, boletus and boletus in the basket. And in a couple of weeks and until the end of September, the “catch” will become even richer: white mushrooms will “ripen up” and a little later honey mushrooms.

We leave the toadstools to the forest!

It is difficult to deceive experienced mushroom pickers with poisonous mushrooms, but beginners can get caught. Therefore, heed the advice of forest experts.

The easiest way to avoid mushroom poisoning is to only collect mushrooms that you know well. It is better to go to the forest with a partner who knows well what edible and poisonous mushrooms look like. If you doubt any of the "gifts of the forest", it's better not to touch it at all!
The most valuable mushroom - white - has dangerous counterparts: bile and satanic mushrooms. Poisonous "fakes" differ from white in that their underside of the cap is not white or yellowish, like a boletus, but pink or even red. If you break the cap of the porcini mushroom, it will not change its color, and the broken caps of the gall and satanic mushrooms will first turn red, then turn black.
An inexperienced picker may pick up false mushrooms instead of real ones. Remember: in edible mushrooms, the hat is brownish-yellow, on the leg there is a film that looks like a ring. False mushrooms have a yellow-green or reddish hat, and there is no ring on the leg.
If the mushrooms are excessively soaked in water, this indicates that they are overgrown or damaged. During the decay process, harmful substances can be formed, such as the poison neurin, as a result of which even edible mushrooms can become poisonous.
