It will seem surprising, but the seemingly elementary question of where mushrooms grow is not at all as simple as it might seem to an inexperienced person in biology.
Milky. Features
This is the name of the genus to which the mushrooms belong. And this is due to the fact that milky juice stands out from them on the cut. He looks like milk in his consistency, and the color is the same as his hat.
The color of the camelina can be very different depending on the species. There are mushrooms of the lactic genus grayish-yellow, orange, brown, red, pink, purple and even blue.
Some people take it upon themselves to say that there are milky even green. This statement is debatable. What-what, but green saffron milk caps do not grow on Earth. That is, it cannot be said that green milkers do not exist. Just when the released juice comes into contact with air, a chemical reaction occurs, as a result of which it changes its color. Therefore, green spots appear at the sites of damage to the mushrooms.
Types of lactifers and their habitats
By some names, you can already determine where mushrooms of this species grow. Yes and imagineThe coloring of this mushroom will also be easy. For example, such adjectives to the main word "ginger" in the names speak for themselves:
- spruce;
- pine red;
- pine forest;
- Japanese or fir;
- salmon or alpine.
True, there are still definitions that do not say much to an ignorant person. For example, "real camelina" - Lactarius deliciosu. There is not even a hint of either the color of the cap or where the mushrooms of this species grow.
As for the representatives of the genus lactarius, which are called Lactarius Indigo in the international classification, one thing is clear from the name: this mushroom is bright blue. And he secretes the same milky juice!
And where do mushrooms grow, the photo of the representative of which surprises our compatriots with its unusual color? From expert sources, you can get the following answer: blue saffron milk caps are found in Asia and America.
What types of mushrooms grow in the middle zone of Eurasia
Many people love "silent hunting". And the question: "Where do mushroom mushrooms grow?" for them it has not scientific, but practical interest. Therefore, it is worth dwelling in more detail on which species of these mushrooms can be found in the middle zone of Eurasia.
Often we can meet real camelina, spruce and pine forest. Pine red is found, but much less frequently. However, one should not think that spruce mushrooms can only be found where spruce grows exclusively. And the same can be said about pine trees. After all, the question Wheremushrooms grow, in what forest? any experienced mushroom picker will not be able to answer in monosyllables. And there are very few pure spruce or pine forests.
Real ginger
This type of mushroom grows in both spruce and pine forests. You can meet him in the mixed forest. It is usually believed that for mushrooms you need to go there, which was a lot of butter. The first mushrooms of this species appear at the end of July. The main peak is in August and September. In October, someone else finds mushrooms, if the weather is not too cold. But they are already harvested in the depths of the forests, and not at the edges.
It is worth clarifying that mushrooms grow in families. And if a lover of "silent hunting" found one mushroom, then he needs to carefully examine the place around. Surely he will find a few more saffron milk caps, successfully hidden in the grass and under the leaves.
Spruce Ginger
"Spruce trees" - this is how mushrooms also call these mushrooms. Where do they grow, in what forests to look for spruce trees? It turns out that it does not have to be a forest of coniferous trees alone. You can also meet mushrooms in mixed forests, where among deciduous trees there are at least a few Christmas trees or pines.
But the most mushroomy places where spruce mushrooms grow are, of course, coniferous forests dominated by spruce. But not dense, overgrown thickets, but low forests, edges. A mushroom family can be found even in the outskirts, for example, in a clearing or even in a field, near a single growing tree.
Ginger pineupland
This mushroom is distinguished by its fleshiness. Its leg is thicker than that of other species of the lactiferous genus. And this is not because the emptiness inside it is larger, but precisely because of the fleshiness. Thanks to this feature, the upland camelina is not as brittle as its fellow species. Therefore, after going to the forest with a basket, the mushroom picker brings home surprisingly smooth and whole mushrooms.
It is also necessary to look for pine mushrooms in coniferous or mixed forests where pines are found. It is worth knowing that all types of milkers do not like high soil moisture. Sandy soil is more to their taste. Camelina does not grow on clay soil.
And yet, going on a "quiet hunt", you need to know this secret: some mushrooms do not produce a good harvest in the same place every year. They, as experts say, "rest." These are just the redheads. And if in one year in a certain forest someone collected a huge amount of them, then the next year there is no reason to go there. Ryzhik bear fruit well every three years.
Ginger pine red
These mushrooms are hard to find. Indeed, where red pine mushrooms grow, it is difficult for an ordinary mushroom picker to pass. Usually this species chooses either mountains or dense thickets of coniferous forests. And they appear only after heavy rains.
Pine red mushrooms have another interesting feature. In addition to the usual red and orange flowers, there are pink and even purple mushrooms among them.
Oak Milky
They say false saffron milk capsdoes not exist. But some mushroom pickers claim the opposite. For example, oak milky, very similar to spruce, nevertheless does not enjoy the same popularity among fans of "quiet hunting". It is not poisonous, but has an unpleasant smell of rancid butter and hay. On the cut, the fungus secretes a white milky juice. Oak grows only in deciduous forests under oaks.
False Ginger
Fortunately, this mushroom is not poisonous. After all, confusing pine red camelina with its false counterpart is very simple. This mushroom also has a bright red hat, however, with green spots. And the juice it allocates is bright, which gradually turns green. Even the smell of a false camelina cannot be distinguished from the real one.
These mushrooms can only be eaten when s alted. They cannot be eaten without pre-treatment because of the bitterness that disappears after s alting. But real, pine forests, pine red mushrooms and spruces are even recommended to be consumed fresh. So, experts say, these mushrooms bring more benefits to the body.
Where mushrooms grow in the suburbs
Avid mushroom pickers are not a hindrance to a long road. Therefore, if a decision has already been made to recruit mushrooms in the Moscow region, they get on the train and go to the most mushroom places.
You can get to the station "Chernaya" along the Riga direction. There, mushroom pickers find themselves in a wonderful pine forest, where there is always a lot of oil. And after oiling, everyone knows, it's time for mushrooms.
And if you choose the Yaroslavl direction, then you need to get off at the station "76kilometer". After going another 5 kilometers to the Yaroslavl highway, mushroom pickers will come to Lake Torbeevskoye. Moreover, during the journey, most likely, under young Christmas trees they will find a lot of spruce trees. Then you should move north to the Gremyachiy waterfall. Although this path is the longest, but this place is the most mushroomy.
But in the north-east of the station "Firsanovka" lies the village of Nazarevo. If you go from it in the same direction to Elino, cross the Leningrad highway, then the mushroom picker will get on the road leading directly to the mixed forest. This is where real luck awaits him. They say that in these places there are white, boletus and honey mushrooms just the sea! And the saffron milk caps don't even count.
You can go for mushrooms in the Savelovsky direction. Here, at the "Lugovaya" station, "quiet hunting" begins. After all, mixed forests grow right along the railroad. You can move east to the villages of Sholokhovo and Fedoskino. Or you can go west to the village of Ozeretsky. You can pick up boletus, and chanterelles, and butter. And when the butterflies leave, welcome to the mushrooms.
Some mushroom pickers prefer to get off at the Iksha station. If you walk 2 km from it to the west, in the direction of the villages of Khoroshilovo and Lupanovo, then no one will return home with an empty basket. And there are also a lot of mushrooms there, the main thing is to know exactly the time of their appearance.
In the Kursk direction by train you can get to the stations "Hryvnia", "Lvovskaya", "Kolkhoznaya", "Chekhov","Ray", "Sharapova hunting", "Vanguard", then a good harvest of mushrooms will be provided. After all, here is just a zone of mixed forests, which mushrooms love so much. And the sandy soil also contributes to this.
