Lakovica

Harm and contraindications

Pink lacquer should not be consumed by pregnant and lactating women, as well as young children, because mushrooms themselves are heavy food. It is not recommended to include them in the diet for people who have problems in the work of the stomach, liver, pancreas. It is not advised to use varnish for patients with gout and other kidney diseases.

It is not advisable for healthy people to eat varnishes often, so as not to cause disturbances in the work of the gastrointestinal tract. If you really want to feast on mushrooms, it is better to cook them in several stages - boil for a long time, then fry and stew. Such processing reduces the harmful effects of the product on the human body.

An important contraindication to the use of rose varnish is individual intolerance to the product. A similar reaction can be expressed in the form of allergies and disorders in the digestive tract.

Going to the forest for common varnish, you should carefully study its external signs, consider a photo of the mushroom

It is important to remember its main distinguishing feature - the presence of dense pink plates. It is they who "give out" the mushroom, despite the large number of different shapes and colors of this species

How to grow

You can grow pink varnish at any time of the year, if the climatic conditions allow it. It is necessary to choose a bright place where the direct rays of the sun do not fall. It can be planted in shade and partial shade, along fences and houses, under shrubs and trees.

The soil in the selected area is loosened, then holes are made 5-7 cm deep and the mycelium is evenly distributed according to the amount indicated on the package. The mycelium can be purchased in specialized stores or ordered online.

Usually 120-150 g of mycelium is scattered over an area of ​​2.5 m2. After that, the growing area is covered with branches, plant remains, leaves or forest flooring. At the end, soil is poured, which was formed during loosening, it must be leveled with a rake.

Water the soil if necessary, but not too much. The harvest can be seen in 90-120 days.

This mushroom can be grown in attics and balconies, in basements and other places that are protected from direct sunlight. This will require well-rotted plant residues or the top layer of forest soil. In this case, the forest should be deciduous or mixed. The first harvest can be expected in 3 months, but not earlier.

Taxonomy [edit]

The deceiver was first described by Tyrolian naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1772 as Agaricus laccatus, before being given its current binomial name by Mordecai Cubitt Cooke in 1884. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin adjective laccatus “Varnished” or “shining”.Clitocybe laccata is an old alternative name. Var. pallidifolia, described by Charles Horton Peck, is the commonest variety found in North America.

It is the type species of the cosmopolitan mushroom genus Laccaria; where their relations lie among the gilled mushrooms is unclear, but they are currently classified in the family Hydnangiaceae.

The deceiver gets its common name from its variable appearance. Other names include lackluster laccaria, and, by the Zapotec people, Beshia ladhi biinii (also the name of other members of Laccaria).

The benefits of the mushroom and its use in medicine

Lacuna rosea was investigated by scientists while searching for new drugs. It is valued not only for its food, but also for its medicinal properties.

This type of varnish is a source of valuable antibiotics, it releases many substances, including:

• agrocybin;
• nemotin;
• polyporin;
• biformin.

Aqueous extracts of this fungus are capable of having a bactericidal effect, therefore, in folk medicine, it is used to treat infectious diseases that are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, these include:

• pneumonia;
• paratyphoid;
• peritonitis;
• salmonellosis;
• meningitis;
• chlamydia.

Pink lacquer contains many vitamins and useful elements; in small quantities, it has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the body, namely:

• strengthens the immune system;
• helps in the prevention of heart and vascular diseases;
• relieves irritation;
• normalizes metabolism.

It is advised to harvest the dry powder of their mushrooms. In this form, the useful properties of varnishes are preserved. They can be dried, ground, and added as a seasoning to your favorite dishes.The mushroom powder is stored in a special cloth bag. So it will not grow moldy. It is recommended to include varnish in the diet no more than 2 times a week.

Growing at home and in the country

If you wish, you can grow the mushroom in the conditions of a summer cottage, but you will not be able to get high yields. For commercial purposes, breeding of this species is not practiced. It is almost impossible to grow pink varnish in an apartment. Sometimes they try to breed it by analogy with champignons, but this is ineffective, since the mycelium lacks nutrients.

At their summer cottage, pink varnish is grown near a tree. How to do it:

1. The mycelium is sold in powder form. It is mixed with sand in order to be able to properly distribute it in the soil.
2. A groove is dug around the tree with a depth of 5 to 15 cm (depending on the location of the roots).
3. The bottom is loosened with a hoe and then sand with mycelium is evenly scattered into it.
4. Then the mixture is sprinkled with peat or humus, watered and the groove is covered with earth, which was removed during excavation.

Planting can be carried out from early spring to autumn. It will be necessary to feed the fruits once a year with humus, which will fill the mycelium area before winter. Watering is carried out in dry weather as needed.

False doubles

In nature, there are species similar to pink varnish, most of which are not poisonous. But since there are also toxic twins, you need to carefully look at the photo of similar species in order to remember all the main differences:

1. Lilac varnish. Edible mushroom, in dry weather becomes similar in color to pink varnish. It is smaller in size, the plates under the cap are thinner.

2. Honey mushroom. Losing the color intensity, the varnish becomes like honey mushrooms. Usually grows in a group. A distinctive feature of honey agarics is the presence of darker freckle specks on the cap. They have a characteristic mushroom smell, which varnish is absent.

3. False mushroom. A poisonous mushroom that the edible counterpart becomes similar in a drought. Unlike varnish, the double has an intense yellow color and a smooth cap.

Similar species

Due to its color variability, common varnish sometimes becomes similar to meadow honey. However, it is quite easy to distinguish them in the meadow mushroom, the plates are painted white.

Lilac lacquer

Another similar mushroom. This similarity is not always found, but only in dry periods, when both the one and that type of varnish fade. Lilac varnish can be distinguished by its thinner stem. However, the error in the definition does not play a role here - the culinary qualities of both mushrooms are identical.

Description of common varnish

The cap of this mushroom can have a very diverse shape: at a young age it is convex-depressed, and by old age it changes to a funnel-shaped one. The surface of the cap is often cracked and uneven. The edges of the cap are wavy, through which the plates are visible.

The diameter of the cap is 2-6 centimeters. Its color changes depending on the humidity of the air: under optimal conditions it is pink, in dry weather it turns yellow, and in rainy time it gets dark, and at the same time a dull “zoning” appears.

The pulp is thin, without a special taste and smell, the color of the pulp matches the color of the cap. The plates can be descending or accrete, they are thick, wide, sparsely located. The color of the plates is the same as that of the cap, but in wet weather they brighten and darken in dry weather. Spore white powder.

The length of the leg reaches 10 centimeters, and the width does not exceed 0.5 centimeters. The leg matches the color of the cap or is slightly darker. In dry weather, the leg brightens faster than the cap. The shape of the stem is cylindrical, elastic in structure, the base has white pubescence.

Places of growth of pink lacquer

These mushrooms are ubiquitous from June to October. Common varnish can be found on forest edges, in forests, parks, and gardens. They avoid dark, very dry and excessively humid places.

The similarity of common varnish with other mushrooms

When common varnish fades, it can be confused with lilac varnish. Lilac lacquer can also be recognized by its thinner stem.

In some cases, young common varnishes are similar to meadow mushrooms, but mushrooms are easy to distinguish by their white plates.

Other mushrooms of this genus

Large varnish is a conditionally edible mushroom. The diameter of the cap ranges from 1 to 5 centimeters. At an immature age, the caps are hemispherical, but as they mature, they open up and become non-conical, and sometimes flattened with chopped off edges. There is a recess in the center of the cap. The color of the cap is predominantly red-brown, rusty or orange-brown. The edges of the cap are pink.

The center of the cap is radially fibrous. The stem is cylindrical, 1.8 to 12 cm long and 0.2-1.2 cm thick. The color of the stem is orange-brown or red-brown with longitudinal white or cream fibers. The base of the leg is covered with white fluff. The growing area of ​​these mushrooms is quite large.

They grow in coniferous and deciduous forests. They settle in small colonies or singly. They bear fruit throughout the summer until the beginning of autumn. They prefer wet and mossy areas. This conditionally edible mushroom has the ability to accumulate arsenic, so you should not try it.

Amethyst varnish is also a conditionally edible representative of the family. The diameter of her cap does not exceed 1-5 centimeters. At first, the cap is hemispherical, but over time it straightens out. The color of the cap in young specimens is beautiful with a deep purple tint, but the old mushrooms fade. The leg is also lilac with longitudinal fibers.

Amethyst varnishes grow in forests, in moist soils. They bear fruit from summer to autumn.These mushrooms are good for human consumption, but most often they are added to various dishes along with other species.

Where do common varnishes grow

Grows everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, excluding permafrost zones. Appears in mid-June and grows until frost, in groups or singly. Often appears in areas of new plantations and areas weighed down by felling, where other species do not survive.

Loves mixed deciduous-coniferous forests. Very picky about the neighborhood with a tree and does not tolerate competition. Often found in the vicinity of shrubs. Does not like swampy and dry soil. Her pink caps peep out of the grass in forest meadows, forest edges, and in old parks. But there it can be dry on the vine.

Laccaria laccata, commonly known as the deceiver, or waxy laccaria, is a white-spored species of small edible mushroom found throughout North America and Europe. It is a highly variable mushroom (hence “deceiver”), and can look quite washed out, colorless and drab, but when younger it often assumes red, pinkish brown, and orange tones. The species is often considered by mushroom collectors to be a “mushroom weed” because of its abundance and plain stature.

False doubles

It is difficult to confuse pink lacquer with poisonous mushrooms; its counterparts are edible with rare exceptions.

1. Amethyst varnish. Edible. It is very similar in structure to ordinary varnish, and differs only in a rich purple color.
2. Honey mushroom Lugovoy. Edible. It differs from varnish in a pink even cap with small fluffy specks and light plates. Honey mushrooms have a characteristic smell, and the color of the leg is light, almost creamy.
3. False Honey. Poisonous. The color of its cap is difficult to distinguish from the pink varnish in dry season. But the yellow leg of the false mushroom betrays it.

Advice! The appearance and color of the lacquer cap varies with moisture and age. If in doubt, it is better to postpone an uncertain find.

What ordinary varnishes look like

Mushrooms take on a very bizarre shape. They are umbrella-shaped, with a rounded top, unfolded, depressed. Overgrown common varnishes bend the edges of the caps upward, forming a funnel. The edges of the dome are uneven, with cracks, and the surface itself is rough. They grow from 3 to 7 cm. The stem is fibrous, tubular, up to 14 cm long. At the base there is a white bloom-edge, the color is slightly darker.

The color of the cap is capable of changing from environmental conditions, which makes identification difficult. Usually it is pink and red-red, almost carrot. A dry period means a change in the color of the cap from pink to pale sandy, and with prolonged rains, the cap and leg darken to light brown. The plates are dense, fleshy on the inside. Their color is fully consistent with the top.

Cooking recipes

In cooking, pink varnish is prepared in different forms. However, it should be boiled before cooking.

Preliminary processing

After harvesting, the mushrooms are sorted out and soaked in cold water for 30–40 minutes. After that, they must be boiled and the liquid drained, since it contains substances that are harmful to humans.

Cooking

Boil the mushroom whole or cut into pieces. The water should cover the product with 2 fingers.

Ingredients:

• water - 1.5 l;
• salt - 2 pinches;
• mushrooms - 500 g.

Step by step cooking:

1. Cut the varnishes.
2. Bring the salted water to a boil.
3. Place the forest fruits in boiling water.
4. Cook for 10-15 minutes.
5. Drain the water through a colander (this will take 15–20 minutes).

Freezing

It will take up to 6 months to keep the mushrooms frozen. After drying, the boiled hearth bodies are placed in freezer bags and sent to the freezer.

Frying

Mushrooms are fried after pre-boiling. The thickness of their layer in the pan should not exceed 3 cm. If desired, add onions and herbs to the dish. Lacobi go well with potatoes, which are often fried with them.

Ingredients:

• boiled mushrooms - 500 g;
• 1 medium onion;
• dill - 20-30 g;
• butter or vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. l .;
• sour cream - 2 tbsp. l .;
• flour - 1 handful.

Cooking process:

1. Melt the butter or heat the vegetable oil in a skillet.
2. Place the boiled mushrooms.
3. Fry until golden brown.
4. Add onions, herbs and sour cream.
5. Simmer for 10 minutes.
6. Add flour and cook for 5 minutes.

Drying

Mushrooms are dried to obtain a powder, which is used in small quantities as a dietary supplement that promotes health. The product is placed in a dryer or the cut fruit bodies are hung on a string in a dry, ventilated place without direct sunlight.Ready mushrooms are pounded and stored in a glass container.

Rose lacquer is an edible mushroom that requires preliminary preparation before eating. The species can, if desired, be grown in a summer cottage by planting a mycelium. The medicinal properties of the mushroom are used in folk medicine and can treat a number of diseases and support the body as a whole.

Cooking use

Lakovitsa vulgaris belongs to the 4th category, it is an edible or conditionally edible mushroom that can be eaten fried, salted and pickled. It must be eaten after preliminary boiling. The liquid that remains after preparation must be drained; it must not be drunk. Lakovitsa harmonizes well with other mushrooms in dishes. It does not differ in its special taste, it is slightly sweetish.

Recipe: Roasted Pink Lacquers

For cooking, only hats are mainly used, because the legs are hard. This product can be used to prepare a delicious roast according to the following recipe:

Ingredients needed:

• 300 g of mushrooms;
• 1 kg of potatoes;
• 1 carrot;
• 5 tablespoons of sunflower oil;
• 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
• salt and pepper to taste;
• spices;
• 1 glass of boiled water.

How to cook:

1. The varnishes are washed and boiled for 15 minutes, then cooled and large caps are cut into pieces. Together with them, you need to use other edible mushrooms. The main thing is that they should be lamellar, not tubular.
2. Then peel the onion and chop finely, rub the carrots on a coarse grater.
3. Pour sunflower oil into a preheated pan and put onions and carrots. They are fried for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Mushrooms are added to the pan and stewed with vegetables for about 3 minutes.
5. Then add soy sauce and spices and simmer for another 2 minutes.
6. The potatoes are peeled and cut into slices, then put in a cauldron and cooked vegetables with varnishes are added to it.
7. Boiling water is poured into the cauldron and the roast is boiled until tender for 25-30 minutes.

The varnish roast can also be cooked in the oven. This dish is lean and vegetarian. It can be served as a side dish for meat. Better to consume it in the morning. If you include mushrooms in the evening menu, you can disrupt sleep.

It is important to properly prepare the product, not forgetting to boil it first. Only use high temperatures when cooking

Description of the mushroom

The Latin name for Lacobica rosea is Laccaria laccata or Clitocybe laccata. Also, the mushroom is called varnish lacquer or ordinary. It belongs to the Row family, the Lakovitsa genus.

The mushroom cap can be convex, funnel-shaped or depressed. Its surface is rough, and the edges are always wavy. The diameter is from 5 to 6 cm. Depending on the weather, the color of the cap of the fruiting body changes somewhat, which complicates the identification of the species by eye.

In normal weather with moderate rainfall, the color is pink, sometimes carrot. If there is a drought, then it changes to yellow, and in the rainy period - to brownish. The plates located under the cap are wide and thick. They are spliced ​​with the pulp and change color in the same way as the cap.

The leg is hollow inside, elastic. Its length is up to 13 cm. The base is characterized by a slight whitish pubescence. The leg is always somewhat darker than the cap. Spores are colorless, round.

A bit of history

The mushroom was first described in the 18th century by the Italian naturalist Giovanni-Antonio Scopoli. Due to the peculiarities of its appearance, it was not immediately classified correctly.

How to collect

Collect pink varnish from early summer to mid-autumn in deciduous and coniferous forests. It grows throughout the territory of the Russian Federation. The fungus is not picky about the partner plant; it is found in various climatic zones. It is collected in gardens, parks, forests on the edges, more often in moist soil. Less commonly, it can be found in too damp, dry or dark places. It grows in groups and singly.

Varnish often appears first in young plantations. This species even inhabits damaged forests, where other fungi do not grow, which form a symbiosis with plant roots. In a stable and developed habitat, pink lacquer does not bear fruit so actively. This is due to the presence of other competing species.

Sometimes pink varnish can be mistaken for another mushroom. If it fades, it becomes like lilac varnish. Their difference is in the leg, which is thinner in lilac varnish. There are specimens that are similar to meadow honey. It differs in white plates. Outwardly, it is similar to two-color varnish, but the last plate has a lilac color.

Do not cut the mushroom if in doubt. Eating poisonous mushrooms can lead to serious poisoning and even death. Before going to the forest, you should find out what pink varnish looks like, remember its differences.

Common varnish can accumulate hazardous substances: slags, poisons and toxins from the earth and air. Therefore, it is necessary to collect it only in ecologically clean places. It is not recommended to cut mushrooms in the city, near industrial enterprises, railways and highways.

You can also get poisoned with edible mushrooms, so you need to make sure that the collected varnishes are not old, wormy or stale. This product must not be eaten.

Conclusion

Lacovita vulgaris is widespread in the northern latitudes of Russia and Europe. She is the very first to appear in meadows and forests, she can be harvested until the end of autumn, until frost comes. Edible, can be used to prepare various culinary dishes, as a dry powder-seasoning. It is difficult to confuse with other species, it has no poisonous counterparts.

However, care and caution should be exercised when collecting
