Mushroom description
Common boletus (chamomile, podobabok, birch) ordinary is an edible medium-sized mushroom that belongs to the Boletovye family. Its soft hat of dark brown color has a diameter of 5-15 cm. Its outer surface is always dry, and during rain it becomes sticky in old mushrooms. The long leg (thickness 2-4 cm) is white or gray with black dots. This mushroom can be found in mixed forests that have birch trees. It grows from their root system. You can collect boletus in the period from July to October.
Types of boletus and where they grow
Pomegranate fungus grows in wetter soil in a swampy area where there is moss, but not far from birches. It grows alone. His hat can reach a diameter of 10 cm. The color of the hat can be gray, white, gray-brown, and the legs can be white. They differ in that they turn pink at the cut site. Taste properties of marsh boletus are much lower than that of ordinary. It is better to eat young mushrooms as food, because old mushrooms crumble too much during cooking. It is better to extinguish or fry this type, because the pickles from it will turn out bad.
The gray mushroom obobok (hornbeam) can be found in the southern regions of Russia. It grows in deciduous forests near oak, hornbeam, and birches. The hat can be colored yellow-brown or black-brown. Its surface is wrinkled and cracks very much during a drought. At the cut, the flesh turns black or becomes dirty purple.
