The float is yellow-brown, it is

Appearance

The leg of a thick fly agaric is whitish, along its entire surface there is a mesh pattern of a grayish shade. A large and fairly sturdy ring is located at the top. The leg has a clavate tuber with warty remnants of the shell.

Spore powder is white.

The pulp is quite hard and tough, white or grayish in color, and resembles a turnip in taste and smell.

The hat, as a rule, is from 6 to 12 cm in diameter, sometimes it reaches 15 cm, but this is in rare cases. Its shape changes over time - in young specimens, the shape of the cap is ovoid, and over time it becomes prostrate and flat, with an even edge. The color of the upper part of the cap is gray-brown, and on its sticky and shiny surface there are remnants of a volva - a lot of white scales.

The plates are free, even, white, however, near the legs they become narrower.

Musty taste, gives off earth.

It smells like a radish.

Black float (Amanita Pachycolea)

or

Amanita muscaria

The black float (Black fly agaric) is truly the king among floats. It can grow up to 25 centimeters in height, with a cap of 15 centimeters or more in diameter. Otherwise, he is no different from his closest relatives: Volvo, the absence of a ring on the leg, the ribbed edge of the cap, especially in adulthood.

You can easily distinguish a black float from other floats, especially from a gray one, by its color.

Description: Like any float, in early youth, the mushroom is something like an "egg": the embryo of the fungus develops inside a shell (the so-called "common veil"), which subsequently bursts and remains at the base of the fungus in the form of a shapeless sac, called " Volvo ".

Ecology: forms mycorrhiza with coniferous trees, can grow in both coniferous and mixed forests.
Grows alone or in small groups, occurs from mid-autumn to winter (data for the west coast of North America).
Observations of the fungus are officially noted in the southwest of Canada, in northern California, there is information about finds on the Pacific coast in the states of Oregon and Washington, as well as in British Columbia. Data for other countries is not yet available, but this does not mean that the Black Amanita cannot grow somewhere else in the world.

Cap: 7-18 cm, convex, with age - broadly convex or flat, sometimes with a central tubercle, in young specimens - sticky. The color is dark brown, in young specimens it is brown to black, lighter with age, the edges brighten more, sometimes clear concentric zones can be distinguished. The surface of the cap is smooth, but sometimes there may be raised white dots on the surface of the cap - these are the remains of the bedspread. The edge of the cap of an adult mushroom is "ribbed" by about a third.

Plates: Free. Frequent. White, whitish-grayish, darkens to pale brownish or orange with age.

Leg: 10-25 cm long, up to 3 cm thick, flat or tapering towards the top, without thickening at the bottom. May be smooth or slightly pubescent. White, grayish or brownish with age. Without a ring. Volvo is saccular and wide enough, white in color, in adult mushrooms the color of volva is rusty or brown.

Flesh: white, does not change color when cut.

Smell: faint, almost indistinguishable.

Spore powder: white.

Under the microscope: spores 9-14 * 9-12 microns, smooth, colorless, spherical or slightly flattened, not starchy. Basidia are four-spore.

Edible: there is no reliable information from Russian-language sources. All floats are considered conditionally edible mushrooms, but they are not often harvested. Inexperienced mushroom pickers are afraid to confuse the float with a fly agaric or pale toadstool. In addition, the mushroom is quite fragile, which makes it difficult to transport.

Similar species: The closest analogue, widespread in Russia and European countries, is the Gray Float, which is much smaller.

Description

The cap is smooth, slightly slimy, golden brown or orange-brown in color, often with a dark spot in the center, bell-shaped or convex in young mushrooms, and flat with a pronounced tubercle in mature ones, with distinctly grooved edges. Reaches 4-8 (10) cm in diameter.

The pulp along the edge of the cap is thin, in the center it is more fleshy, soft, watery, whitish, becomes chocolate brown under the action of phenol solutions. It does not have a definite smell, with a weak sweetish taste.

The leg is fragile, hollow, reaches 8-14 cm in height and up to 1.2 cm in diameter, thickened in the lower part, at the base (under the Volvo) and narrowed upwards, at first made, then becomes hollow. The surface is a monochromatic whitish or whitish-brown color, smooth, less often with small felt scales.

loose, frequent, white or cream, there are plates.

Remains of the bedspread: leathery volva, saccular, whole, does not grow to the stem, whitish or light brown; the ring is missing; there are usually no scraps on the cap either, less often silky-yellowish silky remnants are noticeable along the edge, disappearing with age.

The spore powder is whitish.

Microscopic features: spores 9-12.5 microns, round, smooth, contain several fluorescent drops; basidia are clavate, four-spore, thin-walled, 45–65 × 5–15 µm; hyphae of the cap skin are colored, partially gelatinized, 2–6 µm in diameter, without buckles; the tram of the plates is bilateral, the hyphae of the tram are cylindrical, without buckles, 2–8 µm in diameter.

Mushroom float - edible

The float is white, belongs to the fly agaric family. Mushroom pickers dislike him for his appearance. It resembles smelly fly agaric, or pale toadstool.

You can distinguish it, but you need to be extremely careful. The first sign of a white float is that it is indeed white. The cap may be slightly darker than the spore-bearing plates. In diameter, it reaches fifteen centimeters; in its center, the remnants of the blanket that protects the mushroom during growth are clearly visible.

The edge is uneven, ribbed. This mushroom has no particular smell. On the cut, the flesh does not change color.

You can meet this mushroom in deciduous forests. The difference between this mushroom is the ribbed edges of the cap, a pouch at the base and the absence of a ring on a thin high leg. You can pick these mushrooms only from July to the end of September.

These mushrooms can be used in cold appetizers, as well as stewed and fried, but they must first be boiled.

The float is white. White pusher (Amanitopsis alba)

Occurs in autumn in birch and coniferous forests with an admixture of birch, very rarely and abundantly. The whole mushroom is snow-white. The rest is the same as the gray float. Edible, fourth category, tastes good.

It is used boiled. The white pusher can be confused with the deadly stinking fly agaric (see comparison table).

Float yellow-brown (Amanita fulva)

Usually grows in single specimens in a variety of forests and shrubs from July to late August.

The cap is up to 10 cm in diameter, gray, bell-shaped in young mushrooms, almost flat in mature ones, with a tubercle in the center and with a ribbed (ribbed) edge. The skin of the cap is dry, in young ones with white flakes, later disappearing.

The flesh of the mushroom is thin, white. Spore powder is white.

The leg is up to 15 cm long, 1-2 cm thick, white, fluffy-scaly or smooth, widened at the base and placed in a wide, saccular volva (white, gray or brownish), which is deeply buried in the ground. There is no ring on the leg. The float is gray edible, fourth category.

It is used boiled.

Float white, Amanita alba

Hat: Diameter 5-10 cm, in youth ovoid, with age it opens to almost prostrate, although in the center, as a rule, a characteristic tubercle remains. On the white surface of the cap one can sometimes notice large remnants of a private bedspread; the edges of the cap, like all floats, are ribbed, with protruding plates. The flesh of the cap is white, without any special taste or smell, thin and brittle.

Hymenophore: The plates are white, free, frequent.

Spore powder: White.

Leg: Height 7-10 cm, thickness up to 2 cm, white, covered with white scales, hollow, expanding towards the base. The ring is missing, the volva is white, free, usually submerged in the ground.

Spreading: A white float grows from mid-summer to mid or late September in deciduous and mixed forests, forming mycorrhiza with birch; not common.

Similar species: It's no secret that the genus Amanita contains many venomous species, many of which can be mistaken for a white float with a nonzero probability. Among them are the white form of the pale toadstool (Amanita phalloides) and the stinking fly agaric (Amanita virosa). In principle, the absence of a ring and the thin ribbed edges of the cap make it possible to virtually unmistakably distinguish the white float from these dangerous mushrooms, but maximum care is required here.

What is a little more complicated, in amateur practice, confusion can arise between the white fly agaric, which has now been resettled from the fly agaric into a separate genus and is called Aspidella thiersii, and the white float, which is now considered the form of an ordinary gray float (Amanita vaignata var.alba). How to deal with this, I cannot say yet. It is a fact that in our taxonomy the white float and the white form of the gray float mean the same mushroom. And what is “imported” Amanita alba, and whether this new Aspidella thiersii (nee fly agaric, Amanita ovoidea) grows in our country - this has yet to be specifically dealt with.

You should also pay attention to the snow-white float, Amanita nivalis. The Russian name should not lead a naturalist into delight: in fact, our former Amanita alba is whiter than all of its relatives put together

Edibility: The mushroom is edible, but not particularly valuable. It is best to collect floats purposefully, assembled and carried them: they quickly crumble in a common basket.

Author's notes: The white float is the rarest of the well-known members of the former subgenus Amanitopsis. The rarest and most dangerous. A mushroom provocateur, a mushroom challenge: either a person boldly takes it and fries it with onions, or admits that he has read a lot in “arguments-and-facts” popular science articles about mutant mushrooms and now does not trust his eyes. Your choice.

Scientists mycologists have made their choice, and the choice is radical - the white float as a species no longer exists.

The plates are like all decent fly agarics, but, we note, not the slightest trace of a private veil. Cylindrical, evenly tapering in the upper part of the leg, slightly "unfinished" cap (as if there was not enough material on the edges - it turned out to be thin, translucent), a small volva of shallow depth - Amanita alba is a well-recognizable float, except for cases when culinary question. Then, of course, suspicious lines are immediately noted.

The “ribbed” periphery of the cap makes it quite easy to distinguish the floats, and in particular the white float, from the “fly agaric” representatives of the genus Amanita. The shaggy leg is frankly alarming, but the “ribbed” edge of the cap and the conspicuous Volvo, on the contrary, bring peace: after all, a float, not some dangerous white fly agaric that has lost a ring somewhere. The smell (or rather, its absence) makes the blissful picture complete. But I would not eat such a mushroom anyway. If not a hungry year.

In such a depraved-curved form, the white float painfully resembles a smelly and deadly fly agaric. No ribs on the edges of the cap, no ring, no wide free Volvo completely removes suspicions. It is better not to touch such a mushroom, anyhow it didn’t work out.

And what is it that puffs up in the upper part of the leg? It is intellectually clear that this irregularity is not even remotely related to the ring. But even such a subtle, on the verge of indistinguishability, a hint of ringing should serve as a brightest, unforgiving stop signal for connoisseurs of floats.

Related species

One of the related mushrooms is the poisonous fly agaric. It is dangerous because it can cause suffocation, severe indigestion, fainting and even death. However, it is quite easy to identify this poisonous fly agaric, if you are careful - it has a bright red, or orange-red cap, rather large, which changes its shape from spherical to flat with age. There are warts on the cap - dazzling white or slightly yellowish.

The pulp of this dangerous species is white with a mild, pleasant, mushroom aroma. The leg is white, with a white ring, strong, there are rows of warts on it.

You can meet red fly agarics in a variety of forests, most often under birches. However, despite the danger and toxicity of this mushroom, it is quite actively used in everyday life. Not for food, of course, but in order to get rid of flies. To do this, put a mushroom cap in a plate of water, sprinkle it with sugar on top and put it indoors. Flies flock to this poisonous sugar-mushroom syrup and die very quickly.

Another related mushroom is the bright yellow fly agaric. This is also a poisonous representative of its family. Moreover, its toxicity is fatal, and therefore it is very dangerous. The time of its growth and fruiting falls on summer and early autumn, and this coincides with the growth time of the thick fly agaric. However, a poisonous mushroom is easily distinguished from an edible relative by its appearance.

The poisonous bright yellow fly agaric has a hat (as you might guess from the name) - a bright yellow color (there is still a lemon color or yellow-orange). There are a lot of flakes on the surface of the cap - these are the remains of a Volvo. The aroma is reminiscent of a radish. The stem is rather fragile, with a velvety surface, sometimes elongated, with a ring, which can disappear as the fungus grows.

Areas of growth of the float are yellow-brown.

Yellow-brown floats grow everywhere: in Europe, North America, Asia, even found in some parts of North Africa, in the Far East of Russia. Orange fly agarics settle in small groups, but single specimens can be found.

They prefer conifers, they can rarely settle in deciduous forests. Amanita muscariae prefer acidic soils and wetlands. Fruiting occurs from July to late October.

Evaluation of the edibility of the yellow-brown float.

Orange fly agaric can be eaten, it is a conditionally edible type of mushroom. They are used in food only in boiled form.

Related species.

Amanita muscaria is an inedible relative of the yellow-brown float. The shape of its cap varies from hemispherical to prostrate. The color of the cap is gray-brown, gray-silver with light gray or white flakes. The leg is whitish in color, there is a slightly wavy ring in its upper part. The pulp is white, its smell and taste are reminiscent of a turnip.

Thick fly agarics bear fruit in summer and autumn. The places of their growth are deciduous forests and conifers. This type of mushroom is very common. It has an external resemblance to the extremely poisonous parterre fly agaric.

Amanita muscaria is a conditionally edible relative of the orange amanita. Its cap is white or white-fawn in color with thick large gray scales. In adulthood, the shape of the cap is flat. The leg is white, in its middle part there is a ring with velvety scales. The lower part of the leg is slightly widened. The pulp is dense, white.

You can find pineal fly agarics in deciduous, oak forests and parks. They settle on calcareous soil. In Russia, this species grows only in the Belgorod region. Pineal fly agarics bear fruit from summer to autumn.

The nutritional value

Due to their nutritional qualities and the degree of assimilation by the body, floats are ranked among mushrooms that are rarely eaten (the so-called IV category). That is, they are of no particular value.

On the other hand, they still contain basic proteins, fats in the form of polyunsaturated acids and carbohydrates. There are B vitamins, as well as relatively large amounts of phosphorus and potassium.

Get acquainted with the types of popular edible mushrooms, especially with such as scales, veselka, shiitake, russula, poplar ryadovka, boletus, chanterelles, black truffle, redhead, aspen milk mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, honey mushrooms.

Like all mushrooms, they are considered low-calorie (20-30 kcal per 100 g, depending on the type and processing).

Mushrooms Pushers (Floats): description, photo

Floats (pusher mushrooms) are a species that is theoretically considered edible. It does not have a high nutritional value and belongs to the genus Amanita. These are unattractive specimens both in appearance and in taste.

Pusher mushrooms

Beneficial features

Pushers are nutritious. They have special biologically active components called betaines. Betaines are beneficial for humans, since they affect the metabolic process in the body. The composition is similar to that of the float and porcini mushroom.

Pushers contain many vitamins, especially of group B, and other trace elements, as well as in other edible fly agaric species.

Pushers are nutritious and healthy

Contraindications

This species does not pose a danger to human life and health. According to the description, it looks like a pale toadstool, so there is a great risk of confusing these mushrooms. In this case, intoxication of the body will occur. It is also possible to get poisoned from the float if it was collected near industrial zones or a road: it quickly absorbs toxic substances from the environment.

It is not necessary to eat the mushroom for a number of diseases:

  • diabetes;
  • poor kidney and liver function;
  • hypertension.

The fungus is excluded from the diet if there are allergic reactions to this particular species.

Application

The float is unattractive in appearance, tastes bland, with bitterness, so it is not particularly popular among mushroom pickers. Collecting, transporting, processing and cooking with this species is not easy: the structure of the mushroom is fragile and brittle. Moreover, it is extremely popular in dietary nutrition.

In cooking

the float is used in cooking after pre-cooking. it is great for drying. amanitopsis is used for cooking first and second courses, snacks.

the process of cooking pushers does not differ from cooking other types. to begin with, they are delicately cleaned of dirt and rinsed abundantly with water. the next step is to cook for about an hour. salt or pickle amanitopsis is possible without resorting to soaking or scalding in advance.

in medicine

This species of the genus Amanita contains a lot of betaine. in medicine, this chemical compound is used to fight Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, prostate adenoma, liver, kidney and gallbladder diseases.

conclusion

Pushers, or floats, are fragile and brittle mushrooms that require delicacy.

It is important to be very careful when picking these edible mushrooms.

Description of amanita orange.

The height of the fruiting body is 12-14 centimeters. In adulthood, the caps of orange fly agarics are almost flat, but at a young age they have a convex ovoid shape. The color of the cap is orange, golden or brown, with a small dark spot in the central part. The edges of the cap are grooved. There may be a layer of mucus on the entire surface of the cap. As a rule, the cap is smooth, but in some specimens there may be remnants of a bedspread on the surface.

The flesh of the float is yellow-brown fleshy, soft.The pulp has no smell.

The leg is fragile, its upper part is very thin, and the lower part is thicker and denser. The color of the leg is white-brown, there are scales on the based background. On the leg there is a volva of a leathery structure, it is consolidated, not attached to the fruiting body. There is no ring on the leg, which is a characteristic feature of the yellow-brown float and its difference from the poisonous species of fly agaric.

Cooking applications

Gourmets do not particularly like these mushrooms: taste qualities

they are quite mediocre, without much "zest" (the only exception is the white appearance with a more delicate taste).

There is a reason for this: during growth, resinous compounds accumulate in the fruiting body, which, if improperly prepared, are harmful to the stomach.

To avoid such difficulties, it is imperative Preliminary processing

mushrooms in several stages:

  1. Cleaning from damage.
  2. Thorough rinsing to remove loose flakes and loose pieces.
  3. Boil for 45-50 minutes (but it is better to stand for an hour).

Among the fly agaric, completely rejected by most collectors, there are still specimens that can be put in the basket.

True, it is vitally important to correctly determine their species. The saffron float belongs to such mushrooms - for safe collection it is necessary to know exactly "by sight"

The saffron float (Amanita crocea), or saffron, or the saffron pusher is a conditionally edible mushroom of the agaricomycete class, amanitaceous family, fly agaric genus. Has the following characteristic features:

  • a cap with a diameter of 5 to 12 cm, initially ovoid-bell-shaped, then expanded to flat with a spherical tubercle in the center. Smooth, shiny in high humidity. It has pronounced radial grooves along the edge. Colored in shades of orange, from light with yellowness to brownish, towards the center the color is darker and more saturated. The remains of the bedspread - flakes common for fly agaric - does not have;
  • the plates are light, from white to off-white, loose, rather frequent;
  • spores are whitish;
  • the leg is yellowish, brittle, grows up to 20 cm in height with a diameter of up to 2 cm, covered with a mealy-scaly bloom forming belts, does not have a membranous ring. At the base there is a thick white volva, on the inside it is light yellowish;
  • the pulp is white, fragile, soft, without pronounced taste and aroma. Under the influence of phenol, it acquires a wine-red color.
