Tubular mushrooms (along with lamellar) belong to the category of old acquaintances of man. Our ancestors have been collecting them for centuries. Where did tubular mushrooms get their name from? On the lower part of the cap, they have a large number of microscopic tubes that serve to ripen spores. These mushrooms have another name - spongy. They are named so precisely because of the appearance of the lower part of the hat, which seemed to someone like a sponge. Tube mushrooms are both edible and poisonous.
Edible include the well-known boletus, boletus, boletus, flywheel. This is an incomplete list, the family of tubular fungi is much larger, but we will analyze only the most common species.
Borovik, or white mushroom, is deservedly called the king of mushrooms. This stout can reach large sizes. For individual specimens, the sizecaps under favorable growth conditions can be up to fifty centimeters in diameter. The porcini mushroom is suitable for any cooking method: boiling, frying, pickling, pickling. Dried, it retains its high taste qualities, unlike some other mushrooms, which acquire a specific, often unpleasant, smell. Perhaps no other mushroom has such universal culinary features. Where are they up to the king!
Tubular mushroom boletus is also a popular mushroom loved by the people. Despite the name, she loves to grow not only under birch trees. He also feels great under a wild rose or any other shrub or tree, or even under nothing at all. It stands in the middle of the clearing, and waits for the mushroom pickers. Boletus mushrooms (they are also called butterflies) will be good in soup or in a frying pan. However, dried ones are also very good.
The boletus looks like a boletus, like a sibling, except perhaps a red one. Yes, and his leg immediately turns blue on the cut. It is less common, and just like a brother, it does not always settle under the tree that gave it its name. In terms of taste, it is about the same as the boletus. Except that it looks more fun in a basket.
Mokhovik prefers mostly warm regions, so it is more common in the south of the country, although it can often be found in central Russia. Some mushroom classifiers claim that the flywheel is the closest relative of the white fungus. Others don't say anything. Be that as it may, the flywheel has high taste qualities, however, it is still inferior to the mushroom. own namereceived due to the fact that it is most often found where there is moss.
But not everything is so rosy in this family. There are tubular mushrooms, which should not be consumed. True, there are no deadly poisonous ones here, but if you by mistake or thoughtlessness eat an inedible mushroom, you are guaranteed a lot of unpleasant sensations. The most famous of them is the satanic mushroom. The name speaks for itself. With its use, a powerful indigestion is inevitable. Although the satanic mushroom, like the white one, belongs to the genus of mushrooms, it differs radically from its fellow.
This, of course, does not end the description of the group "tubular mushrooms". Examples can be found in any locality - more or less known. There are many tubular mushrooms, they even include tinder fungi, which like to settle on the trunks of living trees.
And in conclusion, I would like to give advice to beginner mushroom pickers. The advice is short but important. It sounds like this: if you're not sure - don't take it! Mushrooms, depending on the saturation of the soil with various elements, on humidity or other characteristics of growth, may take on a form different from that prescribed in encyclopedias or collection manuals. In the absence of experience, it is very, very easy to confuse edible and inedible mushrooms. If you make a mistake, at best you will get off with a gastric lavage and a few days in a hospital bed. If you doubt it, in a mushroom - it’s better to bypass it, let it stand further. Enough for your age and others. Even more delicious!
