The most common in our country can be considered the following types of boletus: ordinary, harsh, turning pink, gray, multi-colored. Each of these mushrooms feels great next to the birches, with which they form mycorrhiza. But boletus are also found under other trees - aspen, poplar. Most often, such mushrooms grow in places that are well warmed up by the sun, but the soil does not dry out much.

Let's take a closer look at the main varieties of boletus boletus:

Ordinary

His hat is brown with a reddish tint. Its surface is a little slimy; in dry weather it begins to shine. In an adult mushroom, the cap resembles a pillow, in a young one - a convex hemisphere. The diameter can reach 15 cm. The leg sometimes grows up to 17 cm in height, in width reaches 4 cm. It expands slightly towards the bottom, and the color can be white-cream and becomes grayish, ocher with time. On the cut white pulp boletus can acquire a pinkish tint.

The leg has scales, its shape is clavate. On the cut, the pulp becomes pinkish, and at the bottom of the legs - lilac.

When to collect

False boletus - description

Like most edible mushrooms, boletus has its counterparts, which are not recommended or strictly prohibited. The counterpart of this mushroom is a false boletus. It is called a gall fungus. It should be said right away that to distinguish it from the present delicious mushroom quite difficult. But probably.

In a gall fungus, the cap has similar shades, the leg is also covered with scales. The first difference that helps to find out that the gall fungus came to you is the taste of the cooked prey. The fact is that the false boletus is extremely bitter, which is what its second name says. If even a small slice ends up in a saucepan or skillet, the entire portion will be spoiled.

External signs can also suggest that you have found a false boletus. Firstly, in a real mushroom, the pattern on the leg resembles a birch one. In a false, the scales are arranged in a different way. Secondly, the gall fungus has veins on its stem that resemble human blood vessels.

The hat is also different. This boletus has more inconspicuous shades. And the false one has a hat with a brick, greenish color or bright brown. If on a boletus you notice greenish shades, then you should not take it, most likely it is poisonous mushroom... It is necessary to consider it from below. Under the cap, the edible boletus has a light, whitish color. The false mushroom has a pinkish tint. In addition, it is characterized by a velvety surface of the cap and pink flesh at the break.

How to cook

First of all, you need to know that boletus mushrooms can be cooked without boiling. However, purchased mushrooms and those that gather in places near the roads still need to be boiled. How long to cook is also a moot point. Some are only brought to a boil, others are boiled for 20-30 minutes. Experts recommend boiling for an average of 40 minutes.

If the mushrooms are still young, then they can be fried immediately, not boiled before. In this case, they will be more solid. This cooking method is perfect, for example, for cooking fried boletus with potato. The mushrooms remain crispy and the potatoes become soft. If the mushrooms are pre-cooked, they will be softer.

Clean the large onion, rinse and cut into small pieces.

When the mushrooms have boiled long enough, you need to check the broth for salt. Add it if necessary, and then you can add vegetables. First, put the onion into the pan, after 5 minutes it's time to add the carrots, after the same amount - the potatoes. The foam that forms on the surface of the broth must be constantly removed.

It is important to take into account that they will boil very much. When cooking, it is necessary to constantly remove the foam, it is especially strongly formed during boiling.

You can cook until the mushrooms sink to the bottom of the pan. Then they are filtered, washed and filled with fresh water. Now you need to boil for another 10 minutes. Then you can add spices. 125 ml of vinegar is poured into the broth, 40 g of sugar and the same amount of salt are poured. All this for 1 liter of water. The mushrooms are boiled with these spices for another 25 minutes. Then you can add the rest of the ingredients - allspice(10 pieces.), Bay leaf ik (2 pcs.), cloves (3 pcs.).

Ready mushrooms laid out in jars, poured with marinade in which they were cooked. Boletus mushrooms roll up tin lids then cover with a blanket or jacket until they cool completely. Only then should they be removed to a cool room - a cellar, for example.

The key to a good freezing of mushrooms is their correct preparation. Boletus boletus must be sorted out well, throwing away those affected by rot or worms. Then the mushrooms are cleaned of debris. Now you can rinse them. For this it is used warm water... It is necessary to rinse at least 3 times. Then it is very important to dry the mushrooms well. To do this, they need to be spread out in a thin layer on an absorbent surface - paper napkin or cotton fabric.

Now you can start freezing. So, you can freeze raw mushrooms. You need to choose the youngest, fleshy boletus. It is best to spread them out on a flat surface and so send them to the freezer. Now you have to wait a while until each mushroom becomes hard, like a piece of ice. Only then can they be poured into a plastic bag or container. If you freeze everything at once, folded into a bag, then the mushrooms will stick together, turn into a whole lump.
