Albatrellus confluent (Albatrellus fused): photo and description, edibility

T. V. Svetlova, I. V. Zmitrovich

1.7.2. Mushrooms of the genus Albatrellus

Mushrooms of the genus Albatrellus (Albatrellus) form fleshy, elastic, dense in consistency fruiting bodies in the form of a cap and a central or eccentric stem, with a porous hymenophore that creeps down to the stem. Most species grow on soil, some on wood. In this subsection below, we provide information about the species that were found by us and our colleagues from Kazakhstan. In addition to these species, several more are known on the territory of Russia: A. caeruleoporus (albatrellus cinepore) - with small bluish-bluish fruiting bodies and a bluish surface of the hymenophore, is known in the Far East; A. cristatus (albatrellus comb) - with olive-brown, yellowish-greenish caps with an eccentric or lateral leg, growing mainly in oak and beech forests; A. pes-caprae (syn. Scutiger pes-caprae, albatrellus goat-footed) - with brownish fruiting bodies with an eccentric or lateral leg, found mainly in coniferous subalpine forests, noted in Ukraine and the Far East; A. subrubescens (blushing albatrellus) - close to the more famous species A. ovinus, differing from it by the formation of reddish spots at the sites of damage and preferring pine forests; A. tianschanicus (Tien Shan albatrellus) is a rare species known from Kyrgyzstan with yellowish scaly caps.

Albatrellus ovinus - sheep tinder fungus

Sheep polypore is a relatively large mushroom with thick, squat fruiting bodies, with a porous hymenophore; it usually grows in large groups in coniferous forests on a moss mat. Young mushrooms are yellowish-white; as they grow, they acquire a grayish-yellowish or brown hue.

Cooking recommendations

Delicious soups are made from dried mushrooms. Fruit bodies can even be eaten raw. They make delicious fried, stewed and first courses.

How to clean

Albatrellus merging does not need cleaning. If you need to free the pulp of the mushroom from the top skin, you can scrape it off with a knife.

How to dry

Tinder fungus is suitable for harvesting for the winter. Mushrooms are washed, peeled and strung on a thread. In good weather they can be dried outside, but they tend to absorb moisture, so the drying process must be controlled. If the mushrooms are saturated with water, they can become moldy and unusable.

In bad weather, albatrellus can be dried in the oven or oven. But you need to try not to overdry, otherwise they may lose their taste. Store the finished product in a dark place, in hermetically sealed glass jars.

How to pickle

Glass or enamel containers are suitable for pickling. The procurement process is simple:

1. The mushrooms should be peeled, transferred to a saucepan and boiled for 30 minutes.
2. Add salt to the broth (for 1 kg of fruit bodies, 50 g of salt will be required).
3. Add bay leaves, garlic and allspice to taste.
4. Mix well and put under oppression.

After 7-10 days, the tinder fungus will be ready to eat. Store in a cool place.

Soup recipe

To prepare the first course, you will need the following ingredients:

• mushrooms - 1 kg;
• onion - 2 medium heads;
• carrots - 1-2 pcs.;
• groats (buckwheat, rice, millet) - 300-350 g;
• vegetable oil;
• greens.

Step by step cooking

1. Before cooking, you need to wash the tinder fungus, remove the legs and cut into pieces.
2. You need to cook the broth for at least twenty minutes, after which you should add fried onions, grated carrots and cereals to it.
3. Add herbs and seasonings if desired.
4. The soup should be boiled for 10-15 minutes.

The use of sheep albatrellus in cooking

Sheep tinder fungus is an edible mushroom belonging to the fourth category. It is not very popular with mushroom pickers for two reasons. Firstly, it is not widely used and rather difficult to find. Secondly, it is advisable to eat only young mushrooms. A mature plant acquires excessive rigidity, which is not removed even after prolonged heat treatment. Sheep mushroom can be consumed in any form: boiled, fried, stewed.

How to dry a mushroom

These mushrooms are great for drying. You can dry them in different ways: in the sun, in an oven, in an oven or on a gas stove. Mushrooms are dried outdoors only in sunny, dry weather, otherwise they may deteriorate. Mushrooms must be fresh, healthy, not damaged by worms. They need to be cleaned, wiped with a clean, damp cloth and sized. Mushrooms cannot be washed, they easily absorb water and do not dry well. It is best to use special tools for drying. You can make your own sieves, meshes, grids. You can string mushrooms on a thread or special hairpins. Since mushrooms dry unevenly, you need to constantly monitor the process. An overdried mushroom loses its taste, and an underdried one will quickly grow moldy and deteriorate. Ready tinder fungus is dry, light, close to fresh in taste and aroma. They should be stored in dry ventilated areas, packed in sealed metal or glass jars. It is not recommended to keep dried mushrooms in fabric bags, as they easily absorb moisture and foreign odors.

How to pickle sheep tinder

Other ways of storing sheep tinder fungus are salting and pickling. Mushrooms are salted in glass, enamel or wooden dishes. Peeled and washed mushrooms should be boiled in lightly salted water for about half an hour. Then drain the water, and discard the mushrooms in a colander. Next, put them in a container for pickling and add salt at the rate of 50-60 grams for each kilogram of mushrooms. You can add garlic, pepper, bay leaf. We put under oppression. And after a week you can have a delicious dish. Store such mushrooms in a cool room. Make sure that the brine completely covers the mushrooms.

Albatrellus soup

Albatrellus can be used to make a delicious soup. To do this, you need to take a kilogram of fresh mushrooms, sort them out, peel them, remove the legs, and wash them thoroughly. Fill the medium-sized chopped mushrooms with water and cook for about 15–20 minutes. Saute four heads of onions in vegetable oil. Add 350 grams of any cereal, fried onions, herbs, seasonings to taste to boiled mushrooms and bring to readiness.

Second courses and salads

Tinder mushrooms add special sophistication to main courses and salads. Try mushroom rolls. To do this, boil fresh mushrooms and then fry until tender.Next, grind them into minced meat, adding onion, garlic, salt, pepper. Put finely chopped boiled eggs and mayonnaise in the resulting minced meat. From the resulting mixture we form small sausages and wrap them in slices of ham. We spread the rolls on a deep dish, decorate as you wish and fill with meat jelly. The cooled dish is ready to eat.

Pickled mushrooms are also widely used in the kitchen. They can be used to make delicious salads. Here is a recipe for one of them. Chop a kilogram of salted or pickled mushrooms, add finely chopped green onions to them. Mix the mushrooms with diced boiled potatoes (300 grams) and a jar of green peas. Mayonnaise is used as a dressing for this salad; add salt and pepper to taste.
