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.

Description of boletus pink-purple
The diameter of the pink-purple boletus cap ranges from 5 to 20 centimeters. The shape of a young cap is spherical, later it becomes convex with wavy edges. The skin is velvety and dry, but in rainy weather it is covered with a small layer of mucus.
The color of the pink-purple boletus is uneven: gray or gray-olive with wine, pink or red-brown zones. If you press on the mushroom, then its surface will be covered with dark blue spots. If the fungus is damaged by insects, yellow flesh becomes noticeable.
The tubular layer of this boletus is lemon yellow, and over time it becomes greenish yellow. The pores are small, orange-red or blood-red, and become bluish when pressed. Spore powder, olive brown.
The height of the pink-purple boletus leg reaches 15 centimeters, and its diameter reaches 7 centimeters. The shape of the stem in young mushrooms is tuberous, and later it becomes cylindrical with a clavate thickening. Its color is lemon yellow, there is a dense reddish mesh. When pressed, the mesh turns black or blue.
Young specimens have a tough lemon-yellow flesh. When damaged, the pulp instantly acquires a blue-black color, and after a while it becomes wine-colored. The pulp tastes sweet, and the aroma is slightly sour-fruity.
Places of growth of pink-purple boletus
Pink-purple boletus grows in hilly and mountainous areas. They settle on calcareous soils. They can be found in deciduous and mixed forests. They prefer to coexist with beeches and oaks.
Pink-purple boletus grows in Russia, Europe and Ukraine. They are common in warm climates.
The toxicity of pink-purple boletus
These mushrooms cannot be tasted raw, it is better not to pick them at all, since the poison remains in the undercooked fruit bodies. In general, these are rare mushrooms, which are also poorly understood, so it is better not to experiment with them.
Similarities to other mushrooms
Boletus pink-purple outwardly resembles the inedible satanic mushroom that grows in deciduous forests from June to September. But confusing these two types is not scary, since satanic mushrooms are not eaten. But the situation is different with the ordinary one, similar to the oak tree.
Common oak tree is a good edible mushroom. It grows in deciduous and mixed forests and bears fruit from May to September.
Other boletus
Royal boletus -
edible mushroom. The color of the cap of this mushroom is bright pink pink-purple or violet-red. The skin may have whitish mesh cracks. At first, the cap is convex, and over time it becomes cushion-shaped and can become completely flat. The diameter of the cap is 6-15 centimeters. The leg is long - about 15 centimeters, and thick - up to 6 centimeters in diameter. The color of the leg is yellowish brown.
Royal boletus grows in deciduous and beech forests. In our country, they are common in the Far East and the Caucasus. They are collected from June to September on sandy soils. The flesh of this delicious mushroom is dense and fragrant, therefore it is highly valued.
Boletus mesh -
edible mushroom. He has a large hat - with a diameter of 8 to 30 centimeters, its shape changes from convex to cushion. The skin is slightly velvety, cracks and a characteristic mesh pattern appear in adulthood. The color of the cap is leathery brown, gray-brown or ocher. The leg is massive - up to 25 centimeters high and up to 7 centimeters thick, clavate. Along its entire length, it is covered with a pronounced mesh of a brownish or whitish color.
Boletus reticulated is one of the earliest species - it is found already in May, and fruiting continues until October. These mushrooms grow under beeches, oaks, lindens, edible chestnuts and hornbeams, that is, in deciduous forests. It is mainly found in hilly areas, with a preference for a warm climate. Boletus reticulated - one of the best mushrooms, very aromatic and tasty.
How to cook boletus (video)
The toxic properties of the false white or satanic mushroom are currently not fully understood, but the unpleasant taste allows it to be classified as an inedible species. Voletus splendidus grows in oak and beech forest areas, in warm and sufficiently well-lit places. Fruit bodies grow and develop best on calcareous soils. The variety is quite rare, so the distribution of such fruiting bodies is poorly understood.

The name literally translates as "mushroom growing in coniferous forests." White mushroom, one of the most common species of the bolet family, is often called boletus.
Useful properties and restrictions to use
The boletus contains a lot of elements useful for the human body:
- vitamins A, B1, C, D;
- calcium;
- iron.
The beneficial properties of mushrooms are widely used by both traditional and folk medicine. In traditional medicine, the components of boletus are included in the formulations of the following products:
- strengthening the joints;
- prevention of osteoporosis;
- treating anemia;
- maintaining the heart muscle;
- an increase in the level of hemoglobin in the blood;
- strengthening the immune system;
- preventing the deposition of cholesterol.
Description of the mushroom
Boletus contains elements that are used as antibiotic substances in the fight against E. coli and some forms of tuberculosis. Cosmetologists use riboflavin, which mushrooms are rich in. This substance stimulates the growth of hair and nails.
In folk medicine, boletus has long been applied to frostbitten parts of the body. Also, tinctures of these mushrooms treat sleep disorders and relieve nervous excitement.
