Lead-gray flap: description and photo, edibility

The lead-gray flap has the shape of a ball. White at a young age. When ripe, it becomes gray. The fruiting body is small. The mushroom was first identified by the mycologist Christian Heinrich Person. In fact, in his own work in 1795, he gave the mushroom the Latin name Bovista plumbea.

In scientific works, there are also definitions:

• Bovista ovalispora;
• Calvatia bovista;
• Lycoperdon bovista;
• Lycoperdon plumbeum.

The most popular name for this variety in Russian is Porkhovka lead-gray. There are others: Devil's (Grandfather's) tobacco, Lead raincoat.

How lead-gray flaps look

Fruit bodies are rounded. Smaller (1-3.5 cm diameter). The leg of the lead-gray flap is absent. The spherical body goes directly to the root system. It consists of a thin mycelium. They grow in groups.

Primarily white (both in the middle and on the outside). With some period of time, the lead-gray flare acquires a shade of yellow. At maturity, the color can change from greyish brown to olive-brown. The pulp is white, plastic. Then it turns gray or black-green, as it fills with ripe spores. There will be much more than a million of them. Stepping on an adult, darkened raincoat, a cloud of dust appears.

The spore print is brown. The seed powder exits through the apical pore appearing at the top of the fungus.

Is it possible to have lead-gray flaps

Lead-gray flap is an edible mushroom. It can only exist at a young age, when the pulp is full of white.

Mushroom flavor qualities

The taste of the lead-gray flutter is rather weak. Some people do not feel it at all. The aroma is pleasant, but barely perceptible.

This variety is ranked as type 4 by and large due to its very small size. Similar mushrooms are advised to be available in the exceptional case when there are no alternatives. The 4th category also includes russula, oyster mushrooms, dung beetles.

Benefits and damage to the body

Lead-gray flap is not in demand among mushroom pickers, although it increases immunity very well, strengthens the cardiovascular system. On its basis, doctors make anti-cancer drugs.

It contains the following minerals:

Has the ability to absorb heavy metals and other toxic substances. Once in the body, the fungus absorbs harmful parts, and then removes them.

But the ability to absorb substances from the external environment can be harmful. The fungus absorbs toxic elements from the soil, accumulates them in the tissues, and when it gets into the human body, it releases them. Therefore, the lead-gray flap should not be collected along roadsides and in environmentally unfavorable areas.

False doubles

This mushroom can be confused with all other raincoats. For example, with Vascellum field. It differs from the lead-gray flutter by the presence of a small stem and a diaphragm that separates the spore-bearing part.

The potential confusion with neighboring species is fairly harmless. However, there is a mushroom that, when young, looks like a lead-gray flap. This is a pale toadstool. It is very dangerous - 20 g is enough to cause death.

At a young age, the mushroom also has an ovoid spherical shape, but is wrapped in a film. Pale toadstool stands out with a sweetish, fetid odor, the presence of a leg. Its fruit body is rounded, but not as merged as that of the flap. Spore print white.

Collection rules

Only young mushrooms should be picked. They should not have dark spots. Pigmented areas on the fruiting body indicate the beginning of the formation of spores and the loss of nutritional parameters, the quality of taste.

Consumption

The lead-gray flap has 27 kcal in 100 g. Rich in protein (17.2 g). It is fried, stewed, pickled, salted, added to soups and stews.

Conclusion

Lead-gray flap is considered an excellent food product, as it is saturated with trace elements. Very beneficial to health due to its absorbent properties. And regardless of belonging to the 4 category of edibility, it is tasty and nutritious

It is important not to confuse it with a pale toadstool.

Mushroom giant raincoat and its description

• Family: Raincoats (Lycoperdaceae).
• Synonyms: giant bighead.

A description is offered in which the giant slicker mushroom will appear in a completely new light.

Cultural, historical and other interesting information. Strangely, despite the fact that calvacin, the bioactive component of the giant raincoat, was discovered back in the 1960s, and its anticancer and antibacterial activity was confirmed, and the use of this mushroom in folk medicine against dozens of serious diseases has been known for many centuries. no serious laboratory biochemical studies of the active substances of Langermannia have yet been carried out. At least, such studies are unknown to me. Why? No answer.

This raincoat is characterized by the possibility (extremely rare among other mushrooms) - use for the treatment of pets.

In Nepal, in the Dolpa region, where communication between mountain villages is possible only with the help of pack animals, most of them suffer from open, poorly healing wounds resulting from constant friction of the harness with the load. When such a wound or rubbing occurs, local residents prepare a mixture of spores of a giant raincoat and water and treat the wound surface with it. Fruiting bodies are specially harvested for veterinary purposes and stored in homes. It takes about half of the mushroom to process one donkey.

The following is a description and photo of the mushroom raincoat, from which you can learn about how it looks.

The fruit body is very large, spherical-flattened, 20-50 cm in diameter and weighing up to 10 kg. The outer shell is white, smooth, falling off with age. The inner shell is papery, yellowish-brown in mature mushrooms, breaking down in irregular fragments to release spores. The young flesh is white, firm, with a very pleasant taste and smell; as it ripens, it is yellowish-olive and finally brownish brown.

It is found throughout the temperate climatic zone of Russia on rich soils, prefers open spaces - fields, meadows, pastures, parks, sometimes grows along the edges of the forest, in forest glades in small groups, half rings, and individual specimens can be quite far apart from each other. Over the course of many years, a giant raincoat rarely grows in one place twice, but in the case of a successful season, it can give out two or even three waves of fruiting. It grows from late May to early November.

Similar species. In an adult state, such a large mushroom cannot be confused with other raincoats. Young, still medium-sized Langermannia resemble an immature leathery mycenastrum (Mycenastrum corium), which, when ripe, bursts from above in a star-like manner, which differs well from a giant slicker.

Blackening flap: what it looks like, edibility

Porkhovka blackening is a conditionally edible species of the Champignon family. This specimen is referred to as rain mushrooms, in appearance it resembles a bird's egg. This mushroom is edible, but only young representatives of the species are used in cooking.Since this family contains poisonous and inedible specimens, in order not to harm your body, you must carefully read the external data, view photos and videos.

False doubles

This forest dweller has edible and inedible counterparts. These include:

1. Lead-gray is an edible mushroom; only young representatives are used for food. It can be recognized by its small size, The fruiting body is spherical, up to 3 cm in diameter. The surface is covered with a whitish skin, which turns dark gray with age. The pulp is dense and fleshy, without a pronounced aroma and taste. It prefers to grow in small families on sandy soil, along roads, in illuminated glades, in woodlands. Begins fruiting from June to September.
2. Common pseudo-raincoat is an inedible representative of the forest kingdom. It grows among deciduous and coniferous trees, begins to bear fruit from the end of autumn, it lasts until the first frost. The fruit body has a round shape, up to 6 cm in size. The skin is smooth, fine-flaked, painted in a dirty lemon or brown color. The pulp is firm, fleshy, white at a young age, gradually turns purple-black.

Interesting facts about flap

This mushroom is not a separate species, but an ordinary old raincoat. Often it is difficult to distinguish him from the false "brother", which has a hat with a marble pattern of white and yellow. Its pulp, unlike flitting, is white-yellow at the very beginning of ripening, and over time it acquires a gray-purple hue. You should be alerted by a pungent bitter smell and numerous scales on the surface.

This representative of the Champignon family is collected from June to September... He begins to grow actively immediately after heavy rains, as he loves moisture. Young mushrooms are most delicious, overripe give off bitter, and in order to get rid of this taste, they need to be boiled for a long time.

Porhovka is not particularly popular; boletus, butter mushrooms, milk mushrooms and other more common mushrooms are preferred to it. It is almost impossible to find it in the market or in the store. But if it is not used very often for culinary purposes, then it has already become indispensable in the fight against aphids and other garden pests.

How not to do

However, there are a number of contraindications. First, bypass the adult bighead. A mushroom that has managed to overripe is not suitable for food. He has accumulated in his pulp such a quantity of toxins that in terms of destructive power he can compete with all kinds of fly agarics and toadstools.

Young mushrooms are completely safe. However, even they cannot be included in the menu for children under eight years old. This limitation applies to absolutely all forest mushrooms, since the child simply does not have enough enzymes necessary to digest and assimilate mushrooms.

Otherwise, there are no taboos. Cook bighead mushrooms the way you like, eat it yourself and treat your guests.

Did you know that one of the species of this mushroom got into the Guinness Book of Records because of its enormous size? Such a bighead was found in England, and its growth reached 1.7 m in height.

Interesting facts about the mushroom

Young specimens of flutter outwardly resemble bird eggs that have fallen out of the nest. Mushroom pickers discover their mistake only when they try to lift such an "egg" and find a small leg in it.

It is not recommended to collect flaps after rain. Like all raincoats, this species absorbs moisture, so instead of a mushroom, you can get a soggy mass.

Porkhovka contains special enzymes, thanks to which the mushroom is used to treat cancer.

Flashing recipes

Porkhovka turns out to be very tasty after cooking. If not kept in water, it will be too hard and bitter.

Useful properties of flapping

With such a diverse composition, the mushroom has a positive effect on all organs and systems of a person. It improves the functioning of the intestines, heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas. It can be safely consumed regularly by persons over 15 years old. With its help, even the strongest hunger is quickly satisfied, general well-being is stabilized and the body is reliably protected from external threats emanating from various bacteria and viruses. The mushroom has the following effects:

Increased hemoglobin. It is very important for humans, as it is necessary for the delivery of oxygen to cells. Without this, migraine, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness appear. This problem is especially common for pregnant women. In this case, the risk of miscarriage and fetal development disorders increases. The same product compensates for the iron deficiency, which is responsible for this blood count.

Promotes bone health. The mushroom caps contain more than 20% of the amount of calcium required for an adult per day. At the same time, it is quickly washed out of the body in the event of a lack of potassium, which is also present in the product. All this contributes to the effective prevention of abnormalities in the development of joints and rheumatological diseases - arthrosis, osteoporosis, bursitis, etc.

It is also very important here that plant calcium is absorbed quickly and almost completely.

Strengthening the immune system. It is very important for humans, as it repels external attacks of microbes, viruses and infections.

The presence of ascorbic acid flashing in the caps will help to strengthen it. This vitamin is also necessary for the full absorption of iron, without which anemia develops. As a result of such processes, a person quickly transfers various diseases and reliably protects against their recurrence.

Cleansing the body. Sooner or later, it will certainly become contaminated with toxins, heavy metal salts and other dangerous deposits. To bring them out, he needs fiber, which is contained in sufficient quantities in the flutter. Its main percentage is concentrated in the caps; there is not much of this substance in the legs. Regularly consuming these mushrooms, you can reduce to zero the likelihood of neoplasm growth and premature aging.

Normalization of the heart. To do this, he needs magnesium and potassium, which are in decent quantities in the mushroom. This allows it to be used for the prevention and treatment of rheumatism, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, stroke and other cardiac diseases.
It is especially important to pay attention to this after 40 years, when the risk of their development increases significantly.

Deceleration of aging. To achieve this, you need to constantly saturate your body with antioxidant substances.
These are the fatty acids in the flare, which replenish the oxygen reserves in the cells, protect them from premature destruction and start the regeneration process. Thus, it turns out to reduce the likelihood of developing atherosclerosis and enjoy youth longer.

Improving digestion. It has been proven that dietary fiber and fatty acids, which are found in sufficient quantities in these mushrooms, play a huge role in the prevention and treatment of constipation. They allow you to gently cleanse the intestines from toxins, reduce body weight, improve appetite, get rid of flatulence and bloating. Their use has a positive effect on the metabolism of matter.

Stabilize your mood. Zinc has a huge effect on this. With its significant deficit, the brain can be affected, as a result of which both ordinary depression and mental illness of varying degrees of complexity occur. Porkhovka is the source of such an important trace element.

Important! The benefits of flashing will be obvious only if you eat it in moderation and in a boiled form.

Tincture of raincoat mushroom for treatment

Beneficial features

Porkhovka is a very interesting and useful mushroom, which, perhaps, loses in taste, but nevertheless, the benefits of it for the body are invaluable.

These wonderful mushrooms can absorb salts of heavy metals with radionuclides accumulated in the body and remove them naturally, cleansing the body and preventing the development of cancer. In addition, mushrooms have a good tonic effect, improve the functioning of the immune system, and help in the fight against chronic fatigue, stress, and insomnia. They contain a huge amount of vitamins, amino acids and useful minerals, without which the human body simply cannot function normally.

Harm and contraindications to the use of flashing

Mushrooms collected near roads, cities, and chemical plants can pose a danger. In this case, even if they are not poisonous, they can easily be poisoned. Intoxication makes itself felt after 8-13 hours after eating. Its first symptoms are nausea, weakness, abdominal pain, migraine, lack of appetite, hallucinations. If you have such problems, you should immediately call an ambulance and drink activated charcoal before she arrives, which will help flush the stomach. Do not give this product in the following situations:

• Small children ... We are talking about the age of 12 years, since their stomachs are not yet fully strong for digesting such heavy food as mushrooms, and even more so, they cannot be fried or pickled.
• Duodenal ulcer and stomach ... With such diseases, it is not recommended to eat this product in any form. The reason here is that it contains a lot of dietary fiber and ash, which negatively affect the health of the walls of these organs. As a result, they can aggravate the situation, up to the opening of internal bleeding.
• Severe heart disease ... This refers to what requires urgent hospitalization - myocardial infarction, heart failure, or edema of this organ. In such cases, you can not drink a lot of water, which complicates the situation, and so bad things are.

Important! In rare cases, there are false "brothers" in the flap, unsuitable for human consumption, therefore it is recommended to collect it only for experienced mushroom pickers.

Porkhovka

Porkhovka refers to the type of rain mushrooms, hence the fruiting body and the way of reproduction. Very often, young mushrooms can be confused with bird eggs that have fallen out of the nest. Inexperienced mushroom pickers are surprised when they try to pick them up and find a "leg" under them. This mushroom is edible, although it does not have any special taste. It can be eaten only as long as the pulp is white, when it begins to turn black, the mushroom bursts and throws out spores. The body has a spherical or ovoid shape, reaching from three to six centimeters in diameter.

The flares, which have entered the final period of development, begin to turn yellow, after which they very quickly turn black. They have no legs, white pulp with a rather pleasant smell and a barely noticeable taste. The spore powder is brown in color.

This mushroom only loves fertile soils. You can meet this mushroom in deciduous and coniferous forests. Quite often in meadows and pastures.

Basically, this mushroom "hides". At some stages of maturation, this mushroom can be confused with an ordinary raincoat, its difference is a coarser skin. You can collect flapper throughout the summer. The mushroom is edible.

Most often it is dried or boiled.
