When collecting russules, it should be noted that they are very fragile. Russula is usually collected separately from other mushrooms, so that forest debris from other more humid mushrooms does not mix with broken russula. So that the russula does not break during cleaning, it is better to scald them with boiling water immediately.
The film from the hat of the russula is easily removed, but this can not be done, because sometimes thanks to it, the mushroom does not fall apart during cooking.
If Russula has a bitter aftertaste, it is a caustic Russula. To get rid of bitterness, it is necessary to pour mushrooms with salt and put in the refrigerator for the night, then boil.
- If russula is bitter, it is necessary to clean them from the film on the hat. In this case, red russula is most often bitter - you can first try to clean only them. If cleaning did not help get rid of bitterness, then you should change the water and boil the russula for another 20 minutes.

Russula is the most common mushroom in Russia. Russula mushrooms grow in any forests - deciduous, coniferous or mixed. These beautiful mushrooms are unfairly deprived of attention: mushroom pickers and cooks consider russula to be third-rate and take them only when other mushrooms are not found. Of course, taste is an individual matter, and for each type of mushroom you need to find your own approach or style, if you want. Russula can not be cooked in the same way as other mushrooms, and often this detail also scares off the cooks. In practice, russula mushrooms are even easier to cook than white, and the taste of salty russula can surprise with its nutty shades and make the culinary fantasy work to its fullest. There are many types of russules, they should be sorted out to determine the cooking method for each species and to cook these delicious mushrooms with confidence.
There are 13 main varieties of russula. They can be divided into 3 groups:
. Tasty (4 varieties)
. Edible (3 varieties)
. Inedible and poisonous
Delicious
Or russula is greenish (Russula virescens). The hat is from 5 to 15 cm in diameter hemispherical in young mushrooms, then mushroom-shaped with a pit in the center and with inverted edges in mature mushrooms. The skin is light green or gray-green in color with white patches, often torn. The plates are white or fawn. The leg is thick, fleshy, dense. The pulp has a nutty flavor. It grows in deciduous forests in summer and autumn. This is a very delicious mushroom, considered the best among russula.
Attention! The scaly Russula is similar to a pale grebe - a deadly poisonous mushroom. Be extremely careful!

The leg is white, fleshy. Food russula has a nutty flavor and a light mushroom aroma. It grows all summer and autumn in deciduous and coniferous forests. This is a delicious mushroom, one of the best among russula. It has a slight resemblance to the fly agaric, in contrast to which it does not have spots on the hat and "skirts" on the leg.

The platelets are milky white and then yellowish in color. The pulp is white, dense and brittle in young and yellowish, crumbly in mature mushrooms. It grows all summer and autumn in deciduous forests. It is necessary to distinguish russula whole from purplish-brown, which has a bitter taste.
Edible.
It can be noted that mushrooms without a pronounced taste fall into this group, which should be taken and cooked only if you really want mushrooms. However, these mushrooms are edible, they can be harvested: salt and pickle, give them any taste and aroma with the help of spices or use as fillings.
Russula marsh or bobber (Russula paludosa). Hat 8-15 cm, bright red, dark in the center. Bell-shaped in youth, mature - with slightly edged edges.

The flesh is tender, white in color, dense in young, loose and gray in mature. The smell is not expressed or absent. It grows in summer and autumn on peaty soil near birches.
Inedible and poisonous
This group includes conditionally edible and poisonous mushrooms. Yes, among russula there are a couple of species that are dangerous to eat.
Edible mushrooms can be eaten, but they can be either tasteless or difficult to process. These include (Russula ochroleuca) with a specific color of the hat, similar to yellow russula. You can distinguish it from yellow russula by color: the color of the ocher is dirty, the color of the yellow is bright and clean. Russula golden yellow (Russula risigalina) is also edible, but has an inexpressive taste. It differs from yellow in smaller sizes (cap 3-7 cm) and egg-yellow spore powder. Russula green (Russula aerguinea) with ugly hats of an unpleasant green (swamp) color of 5-10 cm in diameter. The mushroom is tasteless and, to everything else, looks like a pale toadstool. Russula beautiful (Russula lepida) despite the name has bitter, hard and tasteless flesh. It differs in the blood-red color of the cap 5-10 cm in diameter. Russula purplish brown (Russula badia) happens lilac-red in youth. Hat 8-12 cm, spore powder buffy. It has a specific smell resembling a cigar box. The taste is unpleasant, it can be very bitter.
(Russula emetica) is truly inedible and even poisonous. It has a hat of 5-10 cm, blood-red in color, which in rainy weather becomes ocher-yellow and slippery. Leg flat, white or pink, with brittle flesh. The flesh of the cap is white, reddish under the skin. It has an interesting fruity smell and a very pungent taste. Be extremely careful - the mushroom is poisonous!
Now that you have been warned and can distinguish a delicious russula from a poisonous one, do not be afraid to collect and cook them. Russula is very brittle. This is the main feature of this type of mushroom and its main drawback. Extraction from the grass, release from twigs and transportation should be neat, without jerking and shaking.
Inexperienced or novice mushroom pickers and culinary specialists, the name of the mushroom (russula) can be confusing. Raw these mushrooms do not eat, not accepted. If you wish, you can eat raw Russula - poison and die if it was the right kind, you can not. For the best taste, russula is pickled, salted, fried, stewed and boiled. Pickled and salted russula are best obtained, for which they got their name. Already after a day of salting Russula you can eat, just add the traditional mushroom dressing from oil and onions or garlic.
Pickling
Mushrooms should be washed, coarsely chopped or left whole, pour brine and put in a dark place. You can add a few peas of black pepper, currant leaves, dill or other odorous herbs.
Pickling
It differs from salting in that vinegar is added to the solution. It is usually used for canning, but in the case of russula it makes sense to pickle quickly without preservation. Thus, you can always have a ready-made cold snack in the refrigerator.
Frying
Mushrooms should be peeled, but not washed. Cut not too finely and fry in oil. Russula are fried quite quickly and it is very important not to turn them into coals, trying to get rid of the imaginary poison. Inedible or simply tasteless russules should be removed at the stage of sorting and not clogged with thoughts of poisoning during cooking. Doubt - cook.
Cooking
The russula is washed, cleaned, cut into medium pieces and boiled in two waters. Bring to a boil in the first water, boil for several minutes, then transfer the mushrooms to another container with boiling water and cook there for 15-20 minutes. For those who are suspicious, pre-soaking can be recommended.
Quenching
The best way to cook russula mushrooms. It combines cooking and frying, eliminating the doubts of even the most suspicious. There are two ways: rinse the mushrooms, peel, cut and lay in a layer in a pan. Stew, stirring occasionally. The second way: boil and simmer. More liquid will stand out - you can make, for example, a broth or sauce based on a liquid that is cast into a separate container, or you can just let the moisture evaporate. When stewing russula, you can add peppers (peas, whole chili peppers), bay leaf or curry leaves, cloves and generally enrich russula with different tastes. Although aesthetes claim that russula is already so tasty and that it is not necessary to spoil their wonderful nutty taste. Of course, there is no need to spoil, but you can strengthen it. If the nutty taste is not observed, then you can add sour cream and stew in it.
Fans of potatoes with mushrooms can be recommended to fry the potatoes separately and add separately fried Russula at the last stage of cooking - this way you can easily control the process of frying these fundamentally different ingredients. Similarly, you can do with other products: cook them separately from russula and mix at the last stage of cooking. Or do not mix and serve separately.
All the traditional mushroom recipes are applicable to russula, but salting remains the best cooking method. It is possible to salt Russula even in field conditions, which is what experienced hikers, hunters or summer residents use. As aromatic additives, cloves of garlic and odorous herbs are used. For quick salting, the garlic is cut into plates, the herbs are crushed, the salts are taken a little more than for long cooking.
