Mullein mullein: where meets and in what its uniqueness?

Great and peculiar Russian language. This is especially well known to mushroom pickers. Even the most experienced of them do not always know what a mushroom mullein is.

And the answer to this mystery is simple. This is the second (or tenth) name of the white fungus! And if you forget what remarkable qualities he is known for, we will tell you more about this.

It is generally believed that it is distributed only in our country. This error, since today it is found on all continents, excluding only Australia. Until recently, the mullein mullein was unknown to the aborigines of South America, but even there its spores were brought together with poorly processed wood.

Italians especially appreciate it, as the list of all the spout, incredibly tasty sauces and spices, which include the "king-mushroom" (here is another name), can take more than one page.

What is the reason for this popularity? For a long time it was believed that the whole matter is in the incredible nutritional content supposedly possessed by the mullein mullein. It turned out that, with respect to the content of nutrients, the same asphyxiated animals greatly exceed it. So what's the deal?

Scientists have found out that this mushroom possesses tremendous ability to stimulate appetite and secretion of digestive juices.

By this quality, it greatly exceeds even the meat broth, which gives grounds to recommend white fungus as an ideal food for people who have suffered stress, who lack appetite and recover after a long illness.

The ubiquitous Japanese have established that the same broth and at all has almost a magical ability to excrete radionuclides from the human body. In particular, extracts from a white fungus and he himself in various kinds of food, saved thousands of participants in the liquidation of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

However, our ancestors had been suspected of such wonderful properties for a long time. Is it necessary to explain why the mullein mullein all over the world enjoys stable and increasing demand?

But there is in all this splendor and a couple of "spoons of tar." Unfortunately, with all the potential that physicians could realize, get enough raw materials in their hands, this king of the mushroom kingdom is extremely unprofitable when growing in nurseries: expensive, slow, and besides the whole colony can die out if the conditions of detention Will not be perfect.

Thus, the mullein is a free mushroom, and therefore it is exclusively for the materially interested population of the countries in which it grows that it is still being harvested.

In addition, there is another negative side. It is known that mushrooms in the mass have excellent ability to accumulate (ie accumulate) toxic substances from the external environment. Unfortunately, the mullein mullein, the photo of which is in the article, by this ability is second only to the swine.

Figuratively speaking, it can be compared with a sponge that readily absorbs heavy metals and toxins. If you see the "white" near a busy highway, then you can not take it in any case! The consequences of taking mushroom fries from it may not be any better than if you ate the fly agaric.
