What time is it better to go for mushrooms?
"Silent Hunt", for real mushroom pickers, begins early in the morning. Going out for mushrooms early, in the dew, hats shine at this time, and the mushrooms become more noticeable. On the north side of the tree, there are usually more mushrooms. Mushrooms can not stand dry wind and damp. Do not find mushrooms in lowlands and swamps. You should not look for them in tall, thick grass, mushrooms do not grow on the dense surface of moss. At the edge of the forest. mushrooms usually come in more than in more often. The most mushroom places are considered to be: sloping slopes, ravines, low and flat hills, sloping ridges, upland groves.

Where do mushrooms grow?
In the low juniper bushes, in the willow tree and under the white birches, you can usually find sturdy stocky porcini mushrooms with bronze hats. Borovichki hiding in spruce forests. They are lighter than boletus. They are also called centipedes. Such mushrooms live in the moss of green spruce forests. And in the fall they can often be found in thickets of blueberries and lingonberries. Pine forests are rich in their special boletus - black. Where old oaks grow, it is easier to find porcini mushrooms with dark chocolate hats.
How to distinguish a white mushroom from a false white mushroom and from a “bile fungus”?
The porcini mushroom has a poisonous double - a false porcini mushroom, which also grows in coniferous forests. When this mushroom is broken, the flesh turns red, and if you slightly lick this fracture, you will feel bitterness. So this is a dangerous "bile fungus." Another double mushroom double is “deaf boletus”, it is edible. You can distinguish this mushroom by color: a dark brown hat, the wrong side of a soft red color, a fairly strong leg. If the mushroom is broken, it will turn blue. It is rarely taken, as it is taken for a toadstool.
