Usually forest mushrooms begin to appear after a good summer rain, popularly called mushroom. But this does not apply to all species - there are those that appear in the hottest weather. Only, unfortunately, they are short-lived, and catastrophically quickly become useless - insects begin to devour them vigorously. These mushrooms include butter granular.
Description
Granular butter dish (also called the early butter dish or summer butter dish) is probably the most popular and most common mushroom in Russian forests. Butter for Russian forest is about the same as russula. It also grows in large quantities. What does he look like?
Hats of this mushroom grow large - from 20 mm in a very young mushroom to 10-15 cm in an adult. At first, butter is born with a rounded cap, with time it becomes flatter.Top covered with peel with traces of mucus drying in the heat, color in brown-red-red shades. The skin during the treatment of the fungus is very easily removed.
The pulp of the fungus is soft and tight, white-yellowish in color, it smells a little bit of resin, the color does not change upon breaking. Covers (ie film) has not.
The bottom of the cap consists of thin tubules, light yellow in young mushrooms, adults have a gray-yellow, dark yellow or ocher color. The tubules secrete white milk, which turn when dried into specks of gray-brown color.
The spores are smooth and oval, painted in olive-ocher color.
Where is growing
It is very widespread - it grows in the coniferous and aspen forests of the Caucasus, in the Urals, throughout Siberia and the Far East, practically all the forests of Europe are occupied with flutes, even in distant Israel there is this mushroom. A lot of oil in young forests, in clearings, can be found in glades and along any forest road. If this mushroom is caught, it means that there is a lot of lime in the ground, because it grows only on such soils.
It grows most often in groups, but you can find single mushrooms. Often you can see how tiny little mushrooms bite around with big adult hats. It begins to grow and bear fruit early - in May and up to November - the butter dish is not afraid of even frosts.
Edibility
This type of mushroom, along with other edible counterparts, smells of fruit slightly and has a pleasant sour taste. Butters are equated to the second category of edibility, they can be cooked as you like - pickled or pickled or consumed in boiled form. Although most often the Russians fry them. But it is not necessary to dry granulated butter - they become very brittle. By the way, the butterdish is quite suitable for use and raw, only you need to remove to clear the cap of the skin.
Processing of the fungus is very simple: the butter dish is cleaned of debris, the skin is necessarily removed from the cap. It may be that she is reluctant to clean, then slightly kept in hot water - and everything is well cleaned.
In general, it is not necessary to remove the film at all - it is also quite tasty and edible.Only the fact is that each collected mushroom will not be packed in a separate bag - they all lie in one basket and sticky film collects all the garbage. Therefore, of course, it is much easier to remove it than to clean the adhering dirt.
It is best to collect young boletus, just born - there will be a high probability that there are no worms in the mushrooms. Because as soon as the mushrooms grow up a little bit, the insects that lay the larvae start to grow in them immediately. The butter dish is considered to be one of the most wormy. Of the large amount collected as a result, there are not too many mushrooms.
Maslits are pulled out of the ground and accumulate radioactive elements inside themselves. This was especially true after the accident in Chernobyl. And in many other places there is a risk that cesium may be contained in mushrooms. Deactivating it is quite simple - boil the mushrooms in two or three waters. First boil for 15 minutes in the same water, drain the water, fill the pot again, boil again, drain again and cook the mushrooms as needed.
Precautionary measures
- First, do not pick mushrooms in areas suspicious of environmental safety.
- Secondly, the mushrooms brought from the forest should be processed immediately, as a last resort - the next morning.
- Thirdly, even processed mushrooms do not need to be stored for a long time (even in the refrigerator). They quickly deteriorate, it is better to pickle or freeze them.
