This mushroom is one of the most common in the territory of central Russia. Meadowshaft meadow - a very valuable and useful product, contains useful trace elements and vitamins, as well as fiber.

Appearance and characteristics

Meadow meadow is an edible mushroom having several more names: meadow, negynichnik, meadow marasmius, clove mushroom. It belongs to the lamellar fungi from the family of Nunnychkovye. The fungus is a typical representative of saprophytes.

There are two opinions why mushrooms have such a name:

1. Translated from the Latin "opёnok" means a bracelet.And indeed, the place of growth again resemble a circle or an arc.
2. The name is associated with the habitat - on the stump, near the stump. Hence the derived word "egg".

Mushroom is easy to identify. It has a rounded, regular-shaped hat with a low bulge in the center. The diameter of the cap, on average, is from 2 to 6 cm. The color can vary from reddish brown to yellow, depending on the weather. During a lack of moisture, such as during drought, the cap becomes paler. The edges of the caps are slightly lighter than the middle part, moreover, they are a bit torn. The hat of old mushrooms takes the form of a bowl. The body of the meadow meadow is always smooth. In rainy time, the cap becomes covered with a watery, sticky mass.

The leg of the fungus is rather thin and elongated, it can reach 10 cm. The leg can be absolutely flat or slightly curved. At the point of connection with the cap, the leg is slightly thickened. It may coincide with the color of the cap or slightly different.

The aroma of the fungus has a spicy touch, resembling a mixture of smells of almonds and cloves. The flesh has a sweetish aftertaste.

Where mushrooms grow

Clove fungus is very widespread throughout Europe, in some areas of the Americas and Africa. The fungus grows well in open grassy areas. Basically, they can be found on meadows, forest edges, pastures, clearings, in ravines. Other species of mushrooms are always growing on stumps and old trees, and meadow meadow is an exception.

Lugoviki always grow abundantly and often occur. However, given the scanty weight of the fungus - 1 g, the mass of the harvested crop is small. They appear in warm, wet weather, forming “witch circles” and arcs. Formed from the end of May to October.

Fungi can survive long droughts. Their ability to grow and multiply reappears with the first drops of rain.

Since the legs of the meadow hedgehog consist of hard, poorly digestible fibers, it is worthwhile to take only hats with pulp for cooking. By saturability, they are comparable to meat, while they are low-calorie foods.

Mushrooms are cooked in a variety of ways. They are fried, boiled, salted and pickled. Also meadow mushrooms can be dried - so they are easier to store. After contact with water, they acquire the same qualities as they were before drying.

Beware, false doubles

Experienced mushroom pickers have an unspoken rule “not sure - don't take it.” Since there are many types of mushrooms, very similar to each other. Some can be attributed to conditionally edible, while others - just poison for the human body. Such twins are and meadow marasmius.

Differs in the place of growth - the collibia does not grow in free territories, it prefers pritorennye mixed forests with rotten wood and rotten foliage. The hat is white, the leg is shorter and hollow inside.

Whitish govorushka has an even greater similarity with meadow agarics. This is a very dangerous, poisonous mushroom. He has a white hat raised at the edges. The stem is very short, up to 4 cm. It grows in the places where meadow grass grows, sometimes even in close proximity.
