Forms mycorrhiza with oaks, hornbeams and beeches. Also noted in the mountains among the fir trees. Attachment to calcareous soil is noted in the literature.

Eating

Delicious edible mushroom. Suitable for all types of processing.

The boletus mushroom is one of the most common species of the Boletov family. Among the most common types of boletus are white oak mushroom (sometimes it is called net boletus), bronze boletus and girlish boletus. All these mushrooms have long been used for food, and in our times 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.

Description

Boletus girlish has a typical "painful" structure. Like all boletus mushrooms, this is a large and thick brownish mushroom. The adventitious boletus is a rather rare species.

The boletus boletus cap is predominantly brown, but can also be gray-yellow or reddish-brown. Small boletuses have semicircular caps; with age, their edges open, but the shape remains convex. The hat reaches a size of 20 cm in diameter and more. Its surface is always dry. In young specimens, it is covered with fluff, in old specimens it becomes smooth.

Leg

The adventitious boletus has a greenish-yellow leg, which turns reddish downward. The leg is high and moderately thick (12 * 3 cm in height and in diameter, respectively).

With mechanical action on the leg section, the latter turns blue. The bottom of the leg is pointed. The surface of the legs in young specimens is reticular; with age, the reticularity is smoothed out and becomes invisible.

Spore-bearing layer

The spore layer of the boletus is very thick, represented by tubules. The ends of the tubules (pores) are small and rounded. Young mushrooms have a yellowish tubular layer that turns brown over time. With mechanical action on the hymenophore, it locally changes color to greenish-blue.

Spore powder

The spores of the boletus maiden are large individually, resembling an asymmetrical spindle in shape, of a warm yellow hue. The surface of the spores is smooth. In the mass, the powder is greenish-brown.

Half-bronze bolette: description and photo

The semi-bronze boletus is a rare mushroom with autumn fruiting. To find him in the forest, you should familiarize yourself with false doubles, study the features of his appearance.

What semi-bronze pains look like

A mushroom with a large cap, reaching up to 17-20 cm in diameter and up to 4 cm thick. In young painters, it is convex, closer in shape to a ball, but as the fruiting body grows, it straightens.

The color of the cap is gray-brown; in adults, yellowish spots appear on it. In dry hot weather, it becomes cracked.

On the underside of the cap, the tubular layer has a white color with a grayish tint. In adult representatives, it changes its color to olive green. The tubules are easily separated from the hat pulp. Their length varies from 20 to 40 mm.

The mushroom rises 12 cm above the ground, the leg reaches 40 mm in thickness. It is dense, thick, outwardly similar to a club or tuber, has a mesh pattern.As it grows, the stem becomes more cylindrical, with a wrinkled surface, pinkish-beige, and then olive-white in color.

Where semi-bronze pains grow

On the territory of the Russian Federation, pain is rare. The main place of its growth is the southern regions, where a predominantly hot climate with a large amount of precipitation. Semi-bronze boletus is more common in moist soils rich in humus.

Fruit bodies are harvested in mixed forests, where oak or beech, pine trees grow. You can find both single semi-bronze bolts and small groups of 2-3 representatives.

Taste qualities of a semi-bronze bolt

The mushroom belongs to delicacies. Gourmets appreciate it for its mild, pleasant taste. According to the comparative characteristics, the semi-bronze ache is more superior in flavor saturation and brightness to the porcini mushroom. The smell of the delicacy is weak, it appears after cooking. The aroma is well felt if the fruit body is dried.

False doubles

The semi-bronze bolt has no exact counterparts. It can be confused with other fruiting bodies in appearance.

A semi-bronze Polish mushroom looks like it hurts: the adult representatives of the species have the same cylindrical stem and a pillow-shaped cap of chocolate or chestnut shades.

To distinguish them, it is necessary to examine the fruit body: in the Polish species, the pulp is white, quickly turns blue under the influence of oxygen.

You can confuse a semi-bronze pain with a bronze boletus. That one is distinguished by a hat of a darker color and the absence of a mesh pattern on the leg.

It should be distinguished from aches and gall fungus. Gorchak has a similar structure, therefore, in order to recognize it, it is necessary to examine the leg. In the gall fungus, it has vascular veins.

Collection rules

When choosing a place, you should explore the mixed forests, visiting them in August-September. The collection point should be located far from highways and industrial facilities.

The collection should be carried out using a sharp knife: carefully cut at the root. It is not recommended to pull out or break off the fruit bodies, the risk of damage to the mycelium is high.

Use

Eating semi-bronze pain is possible in any form, except raw. Housewives, when cooking, after washing, boil the pulp, and then fry or marinate.

You can dry the fruit bodies in order to use them in future recipes.

Mushroom processing principles:

• remove all foliage and small debris from the pulp, cut off the lower part of the fruiting body, rinse under running water;
• place the mushrooms in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes, then boil it with salt for 20 minutes, if you plan to fry the product, and 40 minutes, if the semi-bronze one hurts, you need to marinate or use it in boiled form.

Conclusion

The semi-bronze boletus is usually classified as edible mushrooms. It has a delicate aroma and mild taste, and is versatile in use. Its main habitat is mixed forests, where it should be distinguished from false species.

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 plots of land containing mycelium are dug in the forest. Small depressions are made in the soil under the trees in the garden, 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.

Similar species

The boletus maiden has both edible and inedible "analogues".

Edible counterparts:

Its difference is in a lighter hat and a black base of the leg. The smell is also different (it resembles carbolic acid).

Borovik semi-adherent

Unlike boletus, the flesh of this mushroom is not yellow, but white. In addition, it grows in thickets of firs.

Among the inedible mushrooms, there are also additional boletus-like mushrooms:

Root boletus

This mushroom is thicker and lighter in color. It is considered inedible, since it has a pronounced bitterness in taste, which cannot be eliminated either by soaking or digestion. For this reason, the mushroom is also called bitter;

Boletus is beautiful

Also referred to as "inedible." It has a brighter leg (its upper half is yellow, and the lower half is red). Like the rooted boletus, it is inedible because of its invincible bitterness.

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.

Poisonous boletus - varieties

Among the 300 known species of boletus, there are inedible, as well as hazardous to health representatives, similar to edible boletus:

boletus purple (Boletus purpureus)

These mushrooms can be easily distinguished by a swollen stem, which has a thickening in the base area or in the middle, often covered with a kind of mesh. The mushroom cap has the shape of a hemisphere or pads. The hat has a dry and smooth surface and a little velvet to the touch. Each type of boletus has its own distinctive features.

Boletus are cosmopolitan mushrooms that are found on all continents except Antarctica and Australia. Certain species (for example, porcini mushroom) are not afraid of cold climates, and therefore grow on the borders of Iceland and Chukotka. Only boletus is more hardy to low air temperatures. This species was introduced to New Zealand, Africa and South America along with conifers. Northern Europe, Africa and America are natural habitats.

Certain types of mushrooms are listed in the Red Book. For example, the royal boletus is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. Now this species is rare, like lipoviks and some other species.

Useful properties of boletus

Forest boletus is a natural and widely available storehouse of essential vitamins and many beneficial properties. The composition of the mushroom pulp is presented:

• thiamine;
• riboflavin;
• pantothenic acid;
• pyridoxine;
• folates;
• ascorbic acid;
• alpha tocopherol;
• vitamin PP;
• niacin;
• potassium;

• magnesium;
• sodium;
• gray;
• phosphorus;
• chlorine;
• iron;
• cobalt;
• manganese;
• rubidium;
• fluorine;
• chrome;
• zinc.

Useful properties are also due to the presence in the composition of a sufficiently large amount of digestible carbohydrates, essential and nonessential amino acids, which are involved in metabolic processes, oxidative and reduction reactions occurring in the human body. Vitamins "A", "B1", "C" and "D" promote the growth of nails and hair, and minerals are necessary for bones and joints, to prevent osteoporosis and anemia, to maintain normal functioning of the heart muscle.

Borovik the Beautiful

In the composition of this mushroom there are substances toxic to the human body that cause upset of the gastrointestinal tract. But at the same time, this disorder does not cause significant harm to health and does not lead to death. This boletus has a reddish or brown hat. There are fluff on the surface of the cap. The height of the leg reaches 15 cm. The most characteristic signs of the fungus are the bloody color of the pores, and also the fact that when cut, the pulp of the mushroom turns from yellow to blue-blue. The species is most common in the western United States under conifers.
