Distribution of boletus adnexa

Boletus boletus are rare mushrooms. They grow mainly in colonies. Fruiting from June to September. Boletus adnexa are found mainly in areas with a moderately warm climate. They grow in mixed and deciduous forests. These mushrooms prefer calcareous soil.

The similarity of boletus maiden with other mushrooms

Boletus adventitious are similar to semi-white mushrooms, but the latter are distinguished by a light ocher-colored cap, a black-brown lower part of the stem and a carbolic odor. Also boletus girlish outwardly resembles edible boletus semispidatochny with white pulp, which is extremely rare in spruce mountain forests.

Other mushrooms of this genus

The false satanic mushroom or boletus is a conditionally edible mushroom. The hat is 5-10 centimeters in diameter, but can reach 20 centimeters. At first, its shape is semicircular, and then it becomes convex-outstretched, often with sharp protruding edges.

External features

Mushroom cap

The caps of these boletus mushrooms reach a diameter of 7 to 20 cm and a thickness of about 4 cm. In young mushrooms they are semicircular, matte and fleecy - velvety, in more mature specimens they are convex and smooth, covered with tightly adhered skin.

Hats are painted in brown - yellow, brown - red and brown - brown tones.

The bottom is decorated with a golden yellow (in young mushrooms), later - a golden brown tubular mass. If you press on it, it turns greenish blue.

Boletus girlish is endowed with dense bright yellow pulp that turns blue when cut.

Ripe mushrooms form smooth, elongated honey-colored spores in olive-brown spore powder.

Stipe

Legs of the Borovik subordinate, which have the shape of a club or a cylinder, reach 20-30 mm in thickness and 6-12 cm in height. The surface is covered with a mesh that disappears in mature mushrooms, and is colored lemon-yellow, the bottom becomes brown-red.

All these mushrooms have long been used for food, and nowadays they are delicacies, since the halo of their distribution has significantly decreased.

Below you will find a photo and description of the boletus mushroom, information about the places of their growth and recommendations for the use of these mushrooms in cooking.

Borovik: general characteristics

Boletus is a mushroom of the Boletaceae family (Latin Boletaceae). Experienced mushroom pickers and mycologists among themselves call all representatives of the species pains. Looking ahead, let's say that the boletus has enough relatives: in total, there are up to three hundred subspecies of the family.

They meet, as you know, by their clothes, so people have learned to identify the boletus mushroom by such key features as:

The size.

If you want to quickly fill your basket with mushrooms, then head to the pine forest. It is there that the most impressive in size individuals are found.

A mature boletus can weigh up to one kilogram. It is not difficult to notice this even under the fallen leaves. They love to grow in the company, therefore, having found at least one representative, you can expect to get on the trail of the whole "gang".

The style of the headdress of our hero is pillow-shaped or round. Boletus "wear" dry, velvety and smooth to the touch hats. The color of the crown differs from the type of pain and can vary from white to brown.

Boletus is a mushroom that has a large upper part, commensurate with the same large leg. The circumference of the mushroom hat can reach up to twenty centimeters in diameter.

Leg.

So that the boletus mushroom can hold its heavy cap, nature has awarded it with a powerful support. Considering the subspecies of pains, one can notice one common feature: the leg of the fungus is always thickened at the base, and sometimes in the middle, reticular or fibrous in structure, less often just smooth. The color palette varies here: white-yellow and red-brown.

Pulp.

The inside of the mushroom can also be different, but within certain limits. The pulp of the plant is light yellow with a lemon tint. To verify the authenticity of the mushroom, make a cut and observe. The cut should turn red or remain unpainted. The boletus has a dense flesh without cavities. Most species of spore powder are brown in color with various shades.

We have figured out how to recognize the boletus mushroom, and now we will "go to the individual." Consider the most popular types of pain relief among mushroom pickers:

1. Bronze boletus.
2. Boletus girlish.
3. Yellow boletus.
4. Mesh boletus.
5. Boletus royal.

Bronze boletus loves to grow in deciduous forests under oak and beech trees. Differs in settlements in small groups of three or five individuals. The main habitat is Western and Eastern Europe.

Features of the view:

• Large fleshy cap, planted on a massive leg.
• The color is dark brown, close to black
• Hat diameter up to 17 cm.

Consumption

Bolette Fechtner belongs to the III category. It does not have a pronounced mushroom flavor or aroma, but it is quite nutritious. It is often compared to a porcini mushroom.

Basically, there are no problems with cleansing. Fallen leaves do not stick to the smooth cap, and the porous tubular layer can be easily washed under tap water.

Wormy mushrooms can cause helminth infections

For the preparation of Fechtner's pickled boletus, any recipe that includes a large amount of aromatic spices is suitable.

Apart from canning, the fruits tolerate frozen products or drying very well. They can be used raw to make salads.

Edible boletus varieties

The edibility of boletus has been known for a long time, because it is not for nothing that these mushrooms were repeatedly mentioned in various ancient legends and legends, famous for their marvelous aroma and excellent taste.

Gold

The second name of this variety is the spikelet, since it has a wheat shade of the cap and legs, as close as possible to beige. Among the key features of the fungus are its relatively small size (5 to 15 cm), slightly wrinkled skin and a well-defined mesh at the top of the stem. It is noteworthy that the golden mushroom does not change the color of its pulp when cut or broken.

Royal

This southern European mushroom loves oak groves, differing from other members of the genus with a bright red cap with a velvety surface, which can sometimes acquire a pinkish or even deep purple hue. The leg, hymenophore and flesh of royal boletus have a uniform light yellow hue, and a pleasant taste allows not only frying and drying the fruits, but also preparing all kinds of marinades and pickles on their basis.

Bronze

Distinctive characteristics of this variety, which grows mainly in deciduous forests of the North American continent, is a dark brown cap, often reaching 17 cm in diameter, as well as a rather dark cylindrical or barrel-shaped stem with a reddish tint. At the break, the pulp does not change its color and does not emit milky juice.

Bicolor

Quite a rare species of the family, found in the eastern part of the forests of North America.The main feature of the boletus is the uniform coloring of the fruiting body in red with a rich yellow tint at the break, which turns blue over time. The mushroom cap also has the ability to change, which, as it ages, departs from its convex shape, opening to the maximum.

Growing boletus

Cultivation of boletus is a painstaking occupation that requires patience and special conditions. Due to its biological properties, the fungus needs a close connection with the root system of trees. For successful cultivation, it is necessary to plant spruce, pine or birch on the site, then you can start breeding boletus in any of three ways:

1. Crushed boletus is soaked in water for a day, mixed and filtered. The finished infusion containing boletus spores is carefully distributed under the trees.
2. Separate tracts of land containing mycelium are dug in the forest. Under the trees in the garden, small depressions are made in the soil, where the mycelium is placed and covered with forest soil. The mycelium needs moderate watering.
3. The caps of overripe boletus are cut into small slices and mixed with moistened soil, and then laid out under the trees.

With timely watering for the next year, you can get a harvest: first, individual boletus, then whole families.

Poisonous, inedible and false boletus species

Boletus maiden, or brown-yellow (Butyriboletus appendiculatus)

Edible mushrooms

Boletus girlish, or brown-yellow (lat.Butyriboletus appendiculatus) is an edible mushroom belonging to the genus Butyriboletus of the Boletaceae family. Until the 2010s, it was included in the genus Borovik (Boletus). Other names: sore brown-yellow, rooted boletus, reddish boletus, Ovary. Like all boletus mushrooms, this is a large and thick brownish mushroom. Boletus of this species can grow to very large sizes, there are individual specimens reaching 3 kg in weight. Boletus girlish is a rather rare species. In the Saratov region, it is noted in the Saratov and Khvalynsky districts. It is listed in the Red Book of the Saratov Region, protected on the territory of the Khvalynsky National Park. Usually grows on moist loamy or calcareous soils that are loose in structure, in floodplain oak forests, or in broad-leaved forests with a predominance of oak... Brown-yellow boletus is found on forest hills, slopes of wet ravines, in forest ditches. Boletus maiden prefers adult forest plantations, grows both singly and in small groups from 3 to 10 pcs. It has been noticed that they can often be found in those places where there are many red fly agarics. Forms mycorrhiza with oak trees... Fruiting bodies form at the end of June and bear fruit until the end of October, the abundance of fruiting depends on the amount of precipitation and varies significantly from year to year.

Boletus adnexa belongs to the first category of edibility, an edible mushroom with excellent nutritional characteristics. Recognized as an excellent edible mushroom. Boletus is eaten in all possible forms: fried, dried, boiled in soup, stewed, marinated, etc. Excellent taste makes it possible not to presoak or boil these mushrooms, it is suitable for drying. Boletus is a tasty and healthy mushroom, but it is not recommended to eat them for problems with digestion, pregnancy, lactation and a tendency to allergies. Also, you do not need to give mushrooms to small children, since their digestive tract still cannot cope with such heavy food.

The hat is 5 to 20 cm in diameter, hemispherical in youth, later cushion, yellow-brown, light brown or chestnut brown, with a sharp edge. Convex with slightly curved edges. The skin is thin, dry, tomentose-fluffy, fleshy. Tubular layer, adherent to the tooth, 1-2.5 cm thick, bright lemon-yellow color, turns brownish-yellow with age, turns blue when pressed. The pulp is dense, light yellow with a bluish tinge, turns blue on the cut, with a pleasant aroma.

The leg is dense, elongated, at a young age ovoid, then clavate or almost cylindrical, 5-15 x 1-6 cm, often has a growth resembling a root, golden yellow, then brownish, with a thin yellow fine mesh in the upper part, when pressed slightly blue.

Edible: This is a rather rare mushroom, but it has many similar mushrooms in appearance. It looks like Fechtner's ache (Boletus fechtneri) with a silvery-white or pale grayish-brownish cap and a royal pain (Boletus regius) with a pink or red cap. These three types are united by the bright yellow color of the hymenophore. A semi-white mushroom (Hemileccinum impolitum) is slightly lighter in color, has a characteristic odor of raw carbolic acid.

Inedible: Inedible boletus (Boletus calopus) has a more brightly colored leg, grows on acidic fertile soils. Root boletus (Boletus radicans) with a lighter colored cap, thickened leg.

Poisonous analogues are not observed in the boletus. Therefore, the only thing that can happen is picking a tasteless mushroom, which is certainly unpleasant, but does not threaten life and health.

Pink-purple

The shape and diameter of the cap are exactly the same as that of the previous representative of the Borovik genus. When wet, the cap becomes a little slimy and acquires tubercles.This mushroom has an irregular color that ranges from light gray to olive gray. Has areas with purplish red and brown tint. When pressed against the mushroom, dark blue spots are formed. Sometimes pink purple aches can damage insects. The damaged areas have a yellowish or olive-lemon tint.

Important! Note to mushroom pickers: anthills are often found in places where a large number of boletus grows.

The characteristics of the tubular layer and pores are the same as in the beautiful pain, however, the pores are brighter in color (pink-orange or light red). The length of the leg of this bolt reaches 15-17 cm, and its diameter is 7 cm. The color of the leg is lemon yellow with a slight pinkish-purple tint. At the end, it has a light burgundy mesh, when pressed, it takes on a blue tint.

The pulp of this representative is dense, has a pleasant fruity smell, olive yellow color. At the cut site, it becomes dark blue, after a while the color becomes a contrasting wine shade. Pink-purple boletus has a sweet flesh and pleasant taste characteristics, but it is not recommended to use it raw or boiled, as it is a poisonous representative of pain.

Edible mushrooms include: red mushrooms, milk mushrooms, pig mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, mushrooms of the Russula family, flyworm and honey agarics

There is a pink-purple mushroom on calcareous soils, in deciduous forests, more often in mountainous regions. It prefers to grow among beeches and oaks. This pain has been little studied by mycologists, so it is not recommended to collect it. In addition, mushroom pickers rarely meet him. Most widespread in Western Ukraine, Russia, and some European countries.
