And let this mushroom, let it taste a water and not too nutritious, but the very fact that in the winter partially fruitned forest you can find something edible, quite pleasant. Other wood mushrooms begin to appear closer to the spring -, among which you can also find edible specimens.

March April May

The number of horses gradually decreases, but the first begin to appear normal mushrooms. True, these are smurches, lines and raincoats ... the third and fourth category, but at least something. Mae already appears meadowed, if the weather has the weather. That is, yes, search for mushrooms in the forest is still early, but in the fields they are already starting to slowly appear. Even the oil can already be detected.

June

The beginning of the appearance of white mushrooms. As well as an active growth of subberezovikov, boosynovikov, chanterelles, oil, cheese and champignons. It makes sense to go to the forest and collect mushrooms There, especially in birch, oak and coniferous. And yes, the appearance of mushrooms of the first and second category is exactly what every self-respecting mushroom picker is waiting.

July

All the same as in June, plus freight. Yes, July - the best time to collect plastic mushrooms. But you need to be extremely cautious because it is plastic mushrooms The easiest way to confuse with something bad.

August

Peak collection of mushrooms in general. All categories are actively growing, you can find something in the forests, and in the fields. There are tubular, and lamellar mushrooms, and in large quantities. Govorushki appear, autumn pigeons, at the peak of growth of freight, raw, champignons, mushrooms of the first and second category. Damn, I myself walking a couple of days ago at the lake in the park, accidentally came to the champignon. And if they are purposefully searching for and collect mushrooms, then with empty baskets, they will not return exactly home.

September

Peak autumn mushrooms. Podbotzoviki, boosions, white mushrooms, late raw, autumn, mosski, last chanterelles, curls. All in large quantities, except that, because of the start of the leaf fall, they get harder to look for. So if at least one mushroom is found - you need to carefully check the terrain around.

October

White mushrooms are still active and numerous, like champignons, Valiui, govarushki, nailed autumn. Appear. In general, the number of mushrooms goes to a decline, so that it is possible only near the trees and stumps, and it is not always. Most of Mushroomnikov in October turns its activities.

November

Latest white mushrooms in pine BorakhOn old trees begin to appear ones, in some places you can still detect an oil. In general, this is no longer a season for collecting mushrooms. If, of course, the end of autumn is not too cold - then mushrooms can be collected a little longer.

Where to collect mushrooms?

First of all, you need to remember that mushrooms are characterized by increased hygroscopicity. That is, it pulls everything that can capture. And these are salts of heavy metals, and various harmful substancescontained in smoke, gasoline and other technical fluids and gases. Radiation also accumulate well. Therefore, in no case can collect mushroomsalong roads or in industrial and active regions. Even collected champignons in the city park can become a source of any nastiness.

It should also be remembered that some mushrooms grow exclusively on a suitable substrate - wood. Of course, among them there are many inedible, but also sometimes meet. In addition, it is the word mushrooms that are much better tolerance, the poet is growing in the cold weather conditionsWhen all the other types have already been mixed.

It is necessary to consider the fact that the mushroom mycelium is very often entering symbiosis with the wood root system. This is what explains the fact that the boosions are growing in the aspen groves, inhibitors - in birchings, and white, encouraging symbiosis with various species trees possess great species diversity. So before going to the forest, count on exactly which mushrooms can grow theoretically there. More specifically, we also will write about this.

As for concrete mushroom seats... here, alas, we can't help you with anything. You will have to look for yourself, passing not one kilometer of crushed terrain. The main thing is to remember, and even better - apply to the map, the place where you were lucky. And if you collect mushrooms as it is necessary, it's a high chance that next year this place will please you with pleasure.

Specialists are always asked at what time of the day it is best to go for mushrooms. In principle, this is absolutely anyway. And only if you do not want to walk in those places where other people have already collected the "harvest", you will have to get up at the dawn.

Let's start with the basic rules. The most important thing is for the mushroom - basket. When you want to define the kind of mushroom, always take into account its location. If you are not sure that I properly determined the form, show the mushroom by a specialist. Collect as few unknown fungi as possible and determine their appearance without hurrying. Never lead yourself as robbers on the place where you found mushrooms.

Equipment

Going to the hike for mushrooms, do not forget that your clothes should match the weather, and most importantly - there must be comfortable and durable shoes. In addition, the mushrooms are always necessary: \u200b\u200bbasket, reliable, book about mushrooms. In addition, the magnifier can be very useful.

For the collection of mushrooms does not fit plastic bag! The mushroom pack is impaired and, which is even more dangerous, heated due to the metabolism of the substances occurring and after collecting. This leads to the decomposition of proteins and (under certain circumstances) may cause secondary poisoning. You need a basket that is why: it helps to avoid unnecessary risk.

First you should not go to distant hikes. Remember: if there are 10 kilometers on the forest path, then the search for mushrooms doubles this number.

How to correctly determine mushrooms. The place where the mushroom grows.

As a rule, it is novice underestimate the importance of the place where the mushroom grows, and try to determine his appearance only by external signs. In fact, it is absolutely necessary to inspect everything around: trees, adjacent plants, the quality of the soil, and on the hilly terrain or on the edges - also the location in relation to the parties of the world. Countless details are gradually folded into a mosaic, and thus increase your knowledge of the necessary relationships and relationships. We are not just collecting mushrooms, we gain experience! It is recommended to even write down the current observations, because our memory is not able to preserve everything noted per day in particular.

Beginners are always difficult

If you, finding a mushroom, are not sure that you can definitely define it, you should not do this by anything. After all, looking for similar illustrations in the book and the comparison is a lot of time. And if you suddenly notice the next hat nearby, then the attention is scattered, and you feel the will important work Surface. Therefore, it will be much better if you will bring one or two unfamiliar mushrooms from every hike, and at home, not in a hurry, try to identify them. Of course, these mushrooms should not be folded in a basket with others, they must be placed separately. To do this, a wonderful paper handkerchief is suitable: wrapping the mushroom and do not think that he can be poisonous and, raging, will be near others.

For the first time trying to determine the kind of unfamiliar mushroom, the newcomer after a long and in vain attempts, probably, will abandon the book in the corner, and the mushrooms in the trash can and doubt in itself in mycology! But never need to despair. We must try again and again. Anyone, even the future major specialist, at first worried about the same doubts, but then each successful attempt strengthened his confidence and a love of the process. And for this work, it does not need a complete basket of unknown instances. Therefore, our advice: collect them little by trying to pick up the same mushrooms in different stages of development.

But even when you are sure that you really identified the mushroom, you should not immediately send it into a saucepan. Try (at least at the beginning) to obtain a consultation of a specialist who will confirm that you have not viewed anything and did not confuse anything.

How to collect mushrooms

Mushrooms grow many years on the same places, but only if the mushrooms do not destroy. Therefore, it is extremely important, finding a mushroom, not to pull it out of the soil! A beginner should carefully unscrew or twist it out of the ground or tree, without breaking the legs. Firstly, the fungnya will almost not be damaged, and secondly, the mushroom itself is easier to judge the characteristic signs of many species. If you cut down the part of the fungus, which is above the ground, then characteristic signs It will be impossible to see. Only when you will really understand the mushrooms and distinguish with all confidence poisonous mushroom From edible, you can cut off the fruit body over the ground; Then the mushroom remains safe and preservation.

In mushrooms growing on a tree (for example, oh), legs are usually tough and tasteless, so it is customary to cut only their caps. The legs remain on the trunk of a tree, and a very little time will pass before the new abundant harvest can be collected in the same place.

Old I. chervichi mushrooms To collect, of course, is not worth it, as well as tiny "buttons". In the latter, the characteristic signs of the species have not yet been manifested, so they are difficult to identify and distinguish from poisonous and dangerous twins. If you accidentally tore an unsuitable fruit body (it is sourced worms, rotted, etc.), then you must put it on former placeSo that the mushroom disputes ensure the preservation of the view. Perfect blasphemy - to explode the soil, break or rip the moss to detect all the tiny mushrooms to the last.

The collected mushrooms must be cleaned from dirt, seized edges or worms right in place, and very carefully. If the skin of the hats in the mushroom mushroom is very slippery, the mucous (like, for example, in the oilball), then it is necessary to remove it immediately. (Of course, if you definitely identified the view!). Cleaning mushrooms Before cooking at home should be only the last control.

Caring for nature

The commandment for each amateur of mushrooms is the love of nature and the desire to observe her laws, caring for cleanliness, trying not to damage anything and not to break.

Only if you absolutely know what kind of mushrooms in front of you (in this case, these are white mushrooms), you can cut them with a knife right in the ground

The place of the prival in the forest after your holiday should not look like after the fair. Paper in which sandwiches were wrapped, empty banks can be taken with them and throw away where it is relied.

The mushroom should not necessarily leave such traces as collected, and then thrown and crushed mushrooms - poisonous, tasteless, old. He who mindlessly behaves in the forest cannot hope for gratitude to people passing through the same way.

Collecting mushrooms, try not to remove from forest paths. Why, this is not necessary. In the forest crown, trees are closed and precipitates are distributed exactly. And on the edges and near the paths, the humidity always turns out to be higher and, therefore, the mushrooms grow better. Reserve places And young landings are better to go around the party. If the forester will see you, then not to avoid trouble and high fine.

It would be nice to inquire in forestry about the rules for collecting mushrooms in one area or another. So, at certain times of the year, there may be restrictions on the collection of mushrooms in general or on their permissible amount. And, finally, there are places in the forest where the access to mushrooms or tourists is not allowed at all (for the sake of animals living there or, for example, from the cutting of trees). On the edge of the forest, the harvest is often particularly abundant.
