Delicious mushroom: summer summer

One of the most common edible mushrooms, summer chicken, grows in conifers, on stumps, rhizomes, snags and grass. The mushrooms of this subspecies are common in Russia, Europe and Asia, and also in North America. They are found everywhere, where there are conditions for their development. Fallen coniferous and deciduous trees quickly become infected with spores, and the summer summer begins to bear abundant fruit in the middle of June.

Because of its rapid growth and excellent taste, honey mushrooms are very popular with gardeners trying to grow mushrooms on their site. With the right approach, you can get a double benefit: to grow a delicious aromatic mushroom and get rid of the powerful stumps of fruit trees that will collapse in 4-5 years if there is a mycelium.

Considering the fact that the summer firearms (the photo is in the article) grow in huge colonies, it is possible to collect a decent crop even from one stump. This mushroom is considered edible, with an excellent aroma and pleasant taste. It is suitable both in marinades, and in the first and second dishes.

In contrast to autumn and winter, summer summer has a thin long leg, its diameter is only 0.5 cm at a height of 5-10 cm. The yellow or brown hat has a bright spot in the center, at the beginning of fungus growth the cap is always rounded, with a small tubercle . As it grows, it straightens up, becomes flat, in rainy weather it can be sticky. In an adult mushroom, the diameter of the cap reaches 7-8 cm. A characteristic feature is the presence of a ring on the stem, below which the surface is scaly, fleecy. The color of the legs is much darker than the cap, the growth point is dark brown. In overgrown fats, it often curves, becomes stiff, and inside it is hollow. The flesh is very delicate, fragile, beige, has a characteristic mushroom smell and a pleasant taste. Leg is coarser, fibrous, with prolonged cooking becomes stiff. Therefore, when processing often leave only hats.

Summer sparse has a poisonous analog - a galley fringed, which also lives on stumps and contains powerful toxins comparable to the power of the action of a pale toadstool. It is especially difficult to distinguish summer summer in dry weather, when its color changes, the bright spot in the center disappears. To prevent errors, it is worth collecting agarics from conifers and trees.

According to inveterate mushroom pickers, it is very difficult to collect summer snowballs in rainy weather, the season of which begins in June. Near the thickets, they love to arrange ambush mosquitoes. When collecting, you should pay attention to the color of the cap of the lower layer of mushrooms. Often it becomes grayish because of the spore powder that spreads the upper mushrooms. Such firearms are also edible, although they seem slightly rotten.

This fungus is often affected by worms. The opinion that there are no worms in mushrooms remains only a myth. Surface inspection often does not allow the identification of parasites, but when cooking small white individuals float to the surface. For this reason, it is recommended to change the water immediately after boiling. The second broth becomes more light. When drying, it is recommended to carefully sort the mushrooms, leaving only healthy young honey agarics.
