A mushroom similar to an egg on a stick. Mushrooms with an ovoid fruiting body. Mushrooms for cancer prevention

A young Veselka mushroom is used as a medicine. Application in medicinal purposes found eggs, juice and mushroom jelly.

Veselka is credited with truly unprecedented healing effects! Impact similar to medicinal properties Japanese tree mushroom shiitake, has an effect on the body and our Veselka - mushroom , therefore it is considered effective against herpes viruses, influenza, hepatitis, oncology and even AIDS.

What else does Veselka treat? It has long been used to eliminate high blood pressure, migraines, gout, treated joints. An infusion of Veselka was used externally for burns, trophic ulcers, bedsores, fistulas and animal bites. It is no coincidence that the fungus looks like a male sexual organ: according to the stories of village old-timers, male inferiority was eliminated with the help of the mushroom. Studies have confirmed that the mushroom contains phytosteroids, properties similar in their effects on the body to androgens (male sex hormones).

Indications for use are also:

• asthma;
• tuberculosis;
• thrombophlebitis;
• kidney diseases;
• gastritis and stomach ulcers.

Veselka mushroom for oncology: a miracle remedy

Fungotherapy is a field of alternative medicine that specializes in the treatment of mushrooms. Japanese scientists have found that some mushrooms (especially shiitake) contain polysaccharides that stimulate the production of perforin (a special protein) in the human body. Perforin is part of a group of leukocytes - natural killers that penetrate the cytoplasm of cancer cells and destroy them. A high dose of polysaccharides is also found in mushroom fungus . It is recommended to use special mushroom mixtures, such as Veselka, Reishi and Shiitake. The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the higher the chance of getting rid of it using natural remedies. Fungotherapy can also be used in conjunction with chemotherapy or radiation. In addition to its destructive effect on cancer cells, fungotherapy helps reduce pain and strengthening the immune system , which is very important in the fight against oncology .

In addition to studying the anti-cancer effect, research is being conducted on the ability of veselka phytoncides to destroy HIV. In addition to destroying virus cells, Veselka also helps maintain the immune system. As you know, with HIV, even a common cold is dangerous. As a result of the use of fungotherapy, the virus is suppressed and the risk of developing AIDS is reduced.

Unlike chemotherapy, fungotherapy not only prevents toxins from accumulating in the body, but also removes them.

Veselka mushroom also cures

Diseases associated with metabolic disorders

Of course, the treatment of oncological diseases with Veselka is a great benefit for sick people and the main merit of the Veselka mushroom. Veselka, thanks to its chemical composition, regulates metabolism. In particular, this mushroom treats thyroid disease , both with decreased and increased function, resolves nodes on the thyroid gland, eliminates disturbances in the endocrine system. When mentioning the treatment of thyroid diseases with Veselka, I often remember one case. One woman took a tincture of Veselka to treat her mother, who had, as people say, a goiter. Her mother had already been switched to hormones and was mostly in bed. After using one liter jar After taking the Veselka mushroom tincture, she felt much better, so much so that she even went to the dacha to work, and after taking the second liter jar, the doctors did not find a goiter when examining her. Of course, not everyone will be so lucky right away, but a fact is a fact. Veselka also resolves various growths, compactions, edema, papillomas, polyps , removes excess (harmful) from the body cholesterol, due to which it reduces arterial pressure . Speaking about the treatment of diseases associated with metabolic disorders with Veselka, one cannot fail to mention the treatment diabetes. Here the fun also has its regulating effect. In particular, she treats how type 1 and type 2 diabetes . In all these cases, you can use Veselka tincture, taking it for 3-4 months with short breaks after each month of use, as in the treatment of cancer. It is possible and even necessary to supplement this treatment with an appropriate diet and the intake of medicinal herbs indicated in the treatment of this disease. For example, when treating thyroid diseases, it is good to drink preparations from white cinquefoil, and when treating diabetes, preparations from Jerusalem artichoke (earthen pear).

Viral and infectious diseases

The fungus mushroom successfully treats viral and infectious diseases, in particular flu, hepatitis, herpes (including herpes zoster), even with such a disease as AIDS, she provides help. Official medicine claims that such a disease as cytomegaly, caused by cytomegalovirus, is practically not treated, and only symptomatic treatment is possible, i.e. bringing down the temperature, lubricating rashes, hormonal regulation of body functions, etc. The disease is quite common and very insidious. A description of it would take more than one page. This is practically a slow death of the body from diseases of many of its systems. However, people, as they say, do not sleep. And there were reports on the Internet that cytomegalovirus can be treated with Veselka. One day, a woman whose daughter at a very young age (about 25 years old) suffered from cytomegaly and was in a very depressed state because of her illness. She refused (for fear that she might have sick children and that she herself might eventually become a burden to the family) to marry her beloved guy. At present, the treatment is still ongoing, but after taking 3 liters of tincture, the girl began to feel much better, the symptoms of the disease gradually disappeared or greatly decreased, and vigor, confidence, and cheerfulness appeared. This once again confirms the presence of substances in veselka that kill various viruses and infections. Veselka is natural antibiotic , improves immunity well and stimulates the immune system, heals smallpox, chickenpox, respiratory and bacterial infections. In all these cases, use a tincture of the Veselka mushroom three times a day, from one dessert spoon to a tablespoon, depending on the complexity of the disease. In addition, for smallpox, chickenpox and other skin infectious diseases, you can make lotions (not compresses) from the tincture 2-3 times a day until complete recovery. It would be even better to rub oil (subcutaneous layer) or fermented Veselka juice into the skin.

Diseases of the cardiovascular system

The Veselka mushroom turns out to be very useful in the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Firstly, it removes excess cholesterol, thereby cleansing the vessels and getting rid of atherosclerosis, hypertension . To do this, it is enough to take one teaspoon of tincture twice a day 20-30 minutes before meals. You can, if desired, replace the tincture with other veselka preparations. Veselka helps well with thrombophlebitis, varicose veins . To do this, in addition to using the veselka internally, apply lotions to problem areas or 2-3 times a day with light movements, without pressing large vessels, massage these places until dry with tincture, jelly or juice from the veselka. Do not apply warm compresses.

Veselka strengthens the entire cardiovascular system, helps with vegetative-vascular dystonia, leukemia , increases blood levels lymphocyte level and improves the blood formula. If it is necessary to cleanse and improve the composition of the blood, it is better to supplement the veselka with herbal decoctions (for example, lungwort).

Digestive system diseases

Both ancient and modern medicine believed and still believe that many diseases come to us through the stomach, that is, through improper nutrition, and accordingly they should be treated through it. They say that humanity digs its own grave with a spoon and fork. And here, preparations from the fungus fungus have a wide field of activity. It helps with a wide variety of diseases gastrointestinal tract. Famous French writer Honore de Balzac cured stomach ulcer precisely with the tincture of Veselka prepared for him in Russia. Veselka perfectly treats inflammation of the stomach, liver, stomach and intestinal ulcers, abdominal pain, dysbacteriosis, diseases of the liver, pancreas and bile ducts. For all these diseases, as well as for cirrhosis of the liver, intestinal polyps, indigestion, cancer of the stomach and rectum Veselka tincture or other preparations are used internally. As already indicated in oncology, one tablespoon of Veselka should be used for treatment three times a day for at least three months. For other diseases, a single dose can be reduced to a dessert spoon, and the duration of treatment depends on the severity of the disease and the success of treatment. Along with Veselka at stomach cancer It is recommended to use chaga infusion or its pharmaceutical drug befungin. In addition to taking veselka for diseases such as intestinal polyps, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, dysbacteriosis and rectal oncology you need to use Veselka suppositories, which are inserted into the rectum every night at night. You can make candles from powder dried mushrooms using beeswax and vegetable oil. There are other options for candles using medical emulsifiers (lanolin, cocoa butter, etc.). Candles should be stored in the refrigerator or other cool place until use.

Diseases of the musculoskeletal system

If a person walks on his own and can take care of himself, then although he may be sick, he feels well. an independent person. And when trouble happens to your joints, as they say, neither sit nor stand. The fungus mushroom also in these cases, due to its anti-inflammatory, restorative and other properties, has invaluable help. In these cases, in addition to taking one dessert spoon of tincture 3 times a day, both simple and concentrated tincture, juice, and ointments are used for external treatment. Concentrated tincture of Veselka is used to treat arthritis, arthrosis, gout, osteochondrosis, coxarthrosis, and other joint diseases. To do this, raw Veselka eggs, cut into small pieces, should be placed in a half-liter jar without compaction and filled to the top with weak (30-35 degrees) vodka, or better yet, moonshine of the same strength. Leave for 3 weeks and lubricate the sore areas at night, wrapping them warmly with a scarf, wool or other cloth. They say that such compresses can completely cure joints. Ointments are also very convenient to use in the treatment of joint diseases. The ointment should be rubbed in with light circular movements so that the ointment is absorbed as much as possible. There was such a case. In the summer of 2014, one patient suffered from knee ligament ruptures after surgery successfully replaced expensive imported medications (injections) with smeared jelly from fresh Veselka mushroom. There was more sense and the result was obvious.

Colds

Veselka treats colds very well, in particular rhinitis, cough, flu, sore throat, bronchitis. A cough, even the most persistent one, goes away in no later than 3-5 days. At the first signs of a cold, sore throat, runny nose, or flu, you should gargle with Veselka diluted in warm water, drink 1 tablespoon of Veselka tincture and lie down in a warm bed. In the future, drink 1 tablespoon of tincture 3 times a day 20-30 minutes before meals. You can eat one Veselka egg as a salad. During influenza epidemics, it is recommended for prevention to drink tincture of the Veselka mushroom, a teaspoon three times a day or (for those at work, study, service) 2 times a day, 1 dessert spoon. Many people, when they drink Veselka tincture for prevention, do not get sick with the flu or acute respiratory infections.

Diseases of the genitourinary system

Thanks to its rich chemical composition, Veselka treats many diseases of the genitourinary system, in particular kidney inflammation and Bladder , resolves various cystic formations in the kidneys and bladder polyps . Veselka also heals hidden sexually transmitted infections both in men and women.

And I would also like to say, perhaps not about the most important property of this mushroom, but also a very important one. Since ancient times, Veselka has enjoyed well-deserved fame as an aphrodisiac, that is, as a means increases sexual potency both men and women. Moreover, in this role, it acts on a person not like a scourge, but smoothly, softly but powerfully and confidently. Many men who bought Veselka tincture from me for the treatment of more dangerous diseases (oncology, diabetes) subsequently admitted to me with surprise that, without expecting it, they discovered the powerful effect of Veselka as an aphrodisiac.

Sexual and venereal diseases

As already indicated, Veselka is a good aphrodisiac for both men and women. It strengthens the reproductive system of the body, so it is used for treatment of impotence in men and frigidity in women. This property has been used since ancient times in Slavic countries, Germany and some other countries. It also treats sexual disorders and infertility in both men and women, eliminates hidden sexually transmitted infections .

Almost half of men after reaching 50 years of age are already familiar with various manifestations of acute or chronic prostatitis. If left untreated, an adenoma or, worse, prostate cancer develops. If to enhance the sexual function of the body it may be enough to take one dessert spoon three times a day, then to treat other sexual diseases it is necessary to increase the single dose to a tablespoon for each dose. When treating prostate diseases, in addition to taking Veselka orally, one must make microenemas from a diluted tincture of the mushroom (2-3 tablespoons per 100 ml of boiled and cooled water or a decoction of the herb yarutka) or suppositories from Veselka.

Skin diseases

Veselka mushroom is used for many skin diseases of various etiologies. If in diseases such as skin tumors, melanoma it is better to use a concentrated tincture of Veselka eggs (100 g of Veselka per 200 ml of vodka), supplementing it with external use of the same tincture or other preparations (ointments, jelly, juice), then for other skin diseases you can use the same concentration of tincture from already hatched (mature) veselka mushrooms or from a mixture of mature mushrooms and eggs. It is easier to find hatched mushrooms in the forest by their strong specific smell and you can see them from afar. Veselka is used for allergic rashes and itching of the skin, external wounds and ulcers, warts, fungal infections (dermatomycosis, candidiasis), erysipelas of the skin, trophic ulcers, fistulas, paniricium, frostbite, burns, insect bites, dog bites, bedsores and others skin diseases . In addition to its inflammatory and wound-healing properties, the fungus mushroom also acts as a good pain reliever. In particular, for wounds and ulcers, you can make lotions from tincture, juice, and lubricate sore spots with mushroom ointment.

When treating fungal skin diseases, you can make lotions from Veselka tincture twice a day, you can also additionally lubricate it with juice and ointment, but it is best to lubricate problem areas of the skin (palms, soles of feet, nails) with fresh Veselka jelly. And so on until the symptoms of the disease completely disappear. This usually takes 7-10 days.

Women's diseases

Many women's diseases can also be treated with veselka preparations. In particular, Veselka is used in the treatment of female bacteriosis, hidden sexually transmitted infections, inflammation of the appendages, for the resorption of cysts, for fibroids, fibroids, cervical erosion. In these cases, in addition to taking Veselka tincture orally, one dessert spoon 3 times a day, 20-30 minutes before meals, you can, subject to hygiene rules, use Veselka douches. To do this, experts recommend diluting the tincture of Veselka with half warm chamomile infusion. For mastopathy, the tincture of the Veselka mushroom is half diluted with water, clay is added, a cake is made and applied to the chest overnight.

At ovarian cancer, the dose of mushroom tincture should be increased to 1 tablespoon three times a day 20-30 minutes before meals. During the course of treatment, you must drink at least 3 liters of tincture, as described in the section on the treatment of tumor diseases. Of course, you don’t have to limit yourself to taking one tincture of Veselka, but use other medicinal products, diet, etc. in parallel and alternately.

In addition to the above, it should be said that Veselka increases milk supply in nursing mothers and helps with sexual coldness in women. But fungotherapists and other specialists say that veselka is contraindicated for women during pregnancy. This is due to the fact that the likelihood of miscarriage increases.

It is useful to use Veselka periodically for the prevention of various diseases, in particular for the prevention of various tumor and cardiovascular diseases, strengthening various body systems, increasing immunity, and improving general well-being. After all, everyone knows that a disease is easier to prevent than to cure.

Many may say that I have somewhat exaggerated the capabilities and healing properties of veselka, that it is like another panacea for all diseases. No it's not like that. The fungus mushroom, for example, is not used for the treatment of childhood, nervous diseases, for the treatment of many other body systems, and even in the treatment of the body systems listed above, it is not used for all, but only for the diseases I mentioned and for a number of diseases where its benefit is not yet identified, not studied, or simply there are no publications about it and few people know about it. After all human body This is a holistic, interconnected system and by helping one organ, we help the body as a whole. Therefore, the above-mentioned properties of Veselka are quite enough to give it a worthy place in the arsenal of both folk and official medicine.

Relatively contraindications , then the Veselka has practically none. It is compatible with other drugs. And yet, it is not recommended for use by children under 12 years of age and pregnant women (orally), as well as persons with an atrophied pancreas. Children sometimes do not digest mushrooms well, and in women Veselka can act as an abortifacient. Side effects Veselka rarely has them. Sometimes, at the beginning of use, it can act as a mild sleeping pill, a mild laxative, or vice versa as a fixative. There may also be painful sensations associated with the therapeutic effect of mushroom preparations. There is no need to be afraid of this, just reduce the dose of the medicine for the duration of these symptoms. Soon these unpleasant symptoms will disappear.

Instructions for use:

Veselka is a mushroom that is quite common in mid-latitudes, from Europe to the Far East, and grows in deciduous forests, loves the neighborhood of broad-leaved trees such as oak or beech. This mushroom is unusual in many respects. One of its main features is its rapid growth - in favorable conditions, the Veselka grows literally before our eyes, adding five millimeters per minute. Because of this, the lifespan of the fun is short, only 2-3 days.

Mushroom embryos found in the ground are also unusual; they have the shape of an egg and are popularly called mushroom eggs. They reach 60mm in length and 50mm in width, and are whitish-gray or pale green in color. It is these mushroom eggs that are most valued in folk medicine, since it is believed that they contain the highest concentration of healing substances, and later, at the stage of a mature mushroom, they are partially lost.

Veselka in the mushroom egg stage is eaten, even raw; it has a soft jelly-like structure and a pleasant aroma of fresh radishes. A ripe mushroom acquires a sharp, repulsive smell of rotting meat, which attracts flies that carry its spores, this is the mechanism of its reproduction. It is impossible not to mention the specific phallic form of the mushroom, for which it was nicknamed the immodest, shameful mushroom, its Latin name- Phallus impudicus, in some areas it is also known as stinking morel, witch's egg, upstart.

External treatment with Veselka

Veselka has been valued for its medicinal properties since ancient times, and to this day it is widely used in folk medicine.

The mushroom contains a high content of phytoncides - natural antibiotics, and therefore Veselka tincture has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Veselka tincture is used locally to treat long-term non-healing wounds and trophic ulcers. For example, it is known historical fact that A.S. Pushkin was prescribed Veselka tincture for the treatment of thrombophlebitis, one of the symptoms of which is trophic ulcers. Veselka tincture is also recommended by folk healers for external use to treat acne, fungal infections on the hands and feet, inflamed hemorrhoids, and rectal fissures.

To make the tincture, Veselka is used in the rudimentary stage, the so-called egg. Its recipe is simple: rinse 3-5 freshly picked mushroom eggs thoroughly, dry them, cut them into 4 parts, add vodka or 40-proof medical alcohol in a volume of 0.3 liters and leave for several weeks in a dark, cool place. Drain the resulting liquid without filtering. In folk medicine, both the resulting Veselka tincture itself and pieces of mushroom soaked in alcohol (vodka) are used.

During the season when there are a lot of mushrooms, fresh mushrooms can be used for external use; in this case, the jelly-like substance filling the mushroom egg is extracted and applied to the affected areas of the skin without any additions or processing.

Veselka tincture for internal use

For medicinal purposes, Veselka is used not only externally, but also internally. Along with chaga and shiitake, this mushroom is considered a powerful antitumor agent. It has been established that in addition to a high concentration of phytoncides, Veselka contains substances that stimulate the activity of lymphocytes, the main cells of the immune system. This happens due to the increased production of perforins, special proteins with which lymphocytes attack cells pathogenic to the body, including atypical ones characteristic of malignant tumor diseases. Therefore, the use of Veselka tincture as a treatment for malignant and benign tumors is completely justified, but it is still not recommended to do this uncontrolled.

Regular use of Veselka for medicinal purposes helps reduce cholesterol levels and normalize blood pressure, which has a very beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, and therefore the mushroom is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and atherosclerosis.

In addition, Veselka treatment is used for diseases circulatory system, digestive, respiratory, musculoskeletal and immune. In fact, due to the property of stimulating the body’s own defenses, treatment with Veselka is indicated for most diseases, including those caused by herpes viruses, hepatitis A, B and C, papilloma, and even HIV, and also as a general tonic in weakened patients and those who are recovering from serious illnesses, extensive surgical interventions, in people exposed to radiation.

It is not always advisable to use the alcohol tincture of Veselka internally; for example, alcohol is excluded in case of diseases of the stomach and liver. In this case, it is recommended to eat either fresh mushroom, or use decoctions and infusions of the mushroom. They consume not only fresh, but also dried mushrooms in powder form. They can also be brewed and infused, just as they do with dried medicinal herbs. It is believed that treatment with dried Veselka is not inferior in effectiveness to treatment with fresh Veselka or prepared in the form of an alcohol tincture. Decoctions and infusions of the mushroom effectively relieve pain in the stomach, liver and joints and have an anti-inflammatory and healing effect.

There is also a known recipe for using Veselka: pour a teaspoon of dry mushroom powder into a glass of just boiled milk, wait until it cools to a warm state, comfortable for consumption inside. Then stir and drink the whole thing, along with the mushroom particles. Use for prolonged dry cough, bronchitis, pneumonia according to the scheme 2 times a day, morning and evening, for a week. Herbalists claim that in such cases, treatment with Vesel is not inferior to potent ones. medications in effectiveness, but surpasses them in the absence of side effects.

Contraindications to the use of the vesel

To date, no serious contraindications to treatment with Vesel have been identified. Traditionally, it is not recommended to prescribe the mushroom to pregnant and lactating women, as well as children under five years of age, since no studies have been conducted on the effect of Veselka treatment on the human body during these periods, characterized by increased vulnerability. Since Veselka stimulates the immune system, its use is not recommended for people suffering from autoimmune diseases such as rheumatism, psoriasis, scleroderma, etc., as it can cause an exacerbation.

Also, treatment with Veselka is not prescribed for individual intolerance.

Nature probably smiled slyly, pondering this creation of hers. To match its expressive appearance, its name is the common fungus. But serious qualities are hidden behind the frivolous appearance: powerful healing properties make it possible to include veselka in the “mushroom triad” along with precious shiitake and reishi, which cure the most serious ailments.

Common Veselka (Phallus impudicus) belongs to the Veselka family - a rather rare conditionally edible mushroom. Also known as:

• immodest phallus;
• upstart;
• damn egg;
• disgraceful;
• cocks;
• gouty morel;
• earthen oil;
• morel is stinky.

The very process of germination of vesel from the substrate is unusual. In the initial phase, the mushroom is enclosed in a white translucent leathery shell in the form of an egg or sphere, which is connected to the soil by white thick strands of mycelium. The egg stage can last from one to three weeks. As it ripens, reaching 6-7 cm in size, the shell breaks and the recitaculus emerges from it - that part of the fruiting body that will become the stalk. From this moment, the active development of the veselka begins: its rapid growth rate, up to 5 mm per minute, is striking. In this sense, the mushroom is not only a record holder among its fellows, but even ahead of bamboo.

A mature mushroom is easily recognized primarily by the characteristic phallic shape of the fruiting body. A more detailed examination gives the following picture.

• the cap is wrinkled and cellular, covered with a layer of olive-brown mucus. It has the shape of a truncated cone: the top of the cap is a smooth disk with a hole in the center;
• the mucous membrane contains colorless, ellipse-shaped, elongated spores;
• the leg is white or yellowish, up to 4 cm thick, reaches 22 cm in length, cylindrical in shape, hollow inside, loose structure, with a volva at the base (remains of an egg);
• the pulp is whitish, spongy.

Another one distinguishing feature Veselki - an extremely unpleasant and very strong odor inherent in the fungus that attracts insects, which subsequently spread its spores.

Distribution and fruiting season

Far East, Caucasus, Siberia, Central Europe- distribution area of ​​the common weasel. Here the fungus can be found in shrubs or deciduous woodlands, where it is capable of creating mycorrhizae with beech or oak. But most often, exhibiting the properties of a saprophyte, the common vesel forms small colonies or grows in single specimens directly on the soil, preferring soil rich in humus. The fruiting season lasts from May until October frosts.

Similar species and how to distinguish them from them

The most similar to the common vesel is the conditionally edible Hadrian's vesel (Phallus hadriani). She can be found on sandy soils, in the dunes of the Baltic coast and in climatic and soil conditions approaching desert ones. In the egg stage, the shell of the fruiting body Pink colour, has an elongated shape. The mycelium strands are red-violet or bright pink. The cuticle of the cap is lilac in color, the disc at its apex has a reddish fringe. The stem of the mushroom is up to 18 cm high and 8 cm thick, tapering towards the base.

Another double of the common moth is the double dictyophora (Phallus duplicatus), or networt. Despite the similarity in color and texture of the cuticle, the dictyophora has the main difference: a clearly visible white openwork “skirt” descending from under the cap, completely enveloping the leg and making its outline barrel-shaped. Thanks to the presence of this “detail,” the mushroom has another, very poetic name - “veiled lady.” Dictyophora is an edible mushroom of the fourth category, it is rare and is listed in the Red Book of Russia and Ukraine.

Primary processing and preparation

In the egg stage, the mushroom is edible and is prepared similar to egg dishes. Veselka fruiting bodies, collected in the early phase of development, are fried directly in the shell, peeled, stewed with vegetables and potatoes, used for making soups, caviar, boiled and added to salads. Dried and crushed, they are used as a mushroom seasoning. But in general, Veselka cannot be called a favorite of mushroom cuisine. Its value lies in another quality - the long-known ability to cure serious illnesses.

Useful and healing properties

Unusual vegetative properties and appearance, which evokes unambiguous associations, gave the mushroom the name “devil’s egg” and made it the central character of some beliefs and legends. It was credited with the properties of the strongest love potion, a powerful magical remedy that increases potency and reproductive function, a love potion for men and a lapel potion for women. Gouty pain, which suffered, for example, from the crowned heads of England, was treated with the help of the mushroom. In ancient herbalists and medical books, recipes for potions and tinctures made from Veselka were described as often as methods for treating diseases that were rampant in the era of the absence of vaccinations and progressive pharmaceuticals.

Centuries of experience traditional medicine on the use of the mushroom has been summarized and is recognized today as official medicine. Laboratory results and clinical trials have proven the powerful therapeutic effect of taking herbal remedies based on Veselka. The main healing qualities of Veselka, which are used to treat a number of diseases, including cancer, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, are:

• ability to lower blood pressure;
• bactericidal and antiviral properties;
• the ability to activate the production of perforins, which are harmful to cancer cells.

• for diseases of the genitourinary system, impotence and infertility;
• to increase the body's immune capacity;
• in cases of gastrointestinal ulcers.

A tincture of water is prescribed for those who have high level cholesterol. Alcohol tincture of Veselka is used externally to treat melanomas, psoriasis, bedsores, non-healing wounds and trophic ulcers.

At home, it is quite possible to prepare products that are not inferior to industrial preparations, because for their production, dried vesel powder is used as the main component. Therefore, if during a “silent hunt” you happen to meet this unusual mushroom, do not miss the opportunity to prepare valuable medicinal raw materials.

Kira Stoletova

A high leg, a strange body, an abundance of flies around and an unpleasant aroma... Who would have thought that this nondescript mushroom with such strange name- “fun”, “disgraceful”, “devil’s egg” or “lady under the sheet”, has a huge list of useful properties. Let's figure out where the Veselka mushroom grows, what are its advantages over others medicinal mushrooms and when is the best time to start collecting.

Beneficial features

Using Veselushka as food turns out to have a whole range of beneficial properties, including medicinal ones:

• Promotes the resorption of oncological tumors and formations (abnormal, i.e. cancer cells are destroyed). The mushroom contains a number of polysaccharides that are converted into perforin (a substance that kills cancer cells);

Disadvantages of medicinal mushroom

Veselka vulgaris delights with its healing properties, but before collecting it, find out about existing contraindications.

It is not recommended to give tincture of “shamotnik” to small children under the age of 5 years (especially with weak resistance to diseases), or to women during pregnancy and lactation. The fact is that the composition healthy mushroom contains strong organic substances.

Even adults are advised to consult with their doctor and carefully monitor the dosage and dosage schedule. You should not take the tincture of “smotnik” if you are individually intolerant to some components of its chemical composition.

Attention! It is strictly prohibited to increase the dose of the drug taken based on Veselka.

Features of maturation

The fungus reproduces by spores. They can be distinguished by their oval, round and elliptical shape. The cap grows and develops inside the soil; as it matures, it changes color to a darker one and reaches a size of 5-6 cm. The leg of the fungus grows up to 30 cm. In texture, it is a bit like milky white foam.

Irina Selyutina (Biologist):

At the beginning of its development, the young fruiting body is located in the soil and is shaped like a white, grayish or yellowish egg. It is located on a white mycelial cord. Its average diameter is about 6 cm. The shell is represented by two layers:

• external, or exoperidium: membranous;
• internal, or endoperidium: gelatinous.

Under the shell, the asexual part of the fruiting body is formed - the receptacle (also called the “leg”) in the form of a hollow cylindrical column with spongy (cavernous) walls. At its top, the spore-bearing part, the gleba, is formed and then separated. It is often called a “hat”. The receptacle can stretch up to 30 cm. At the same time, its growth rate is 5 mm per minute. As it grows, it raises a black-greenish cellular gleba in the form of a cone-shaped cap with a small disk at the top. Soon the gleba dissolves into black-green mucus with basidiospores. This mass drips onto the ground, emitting an unpleasant odor that attracts flies.

The general development of the fungus lasts 2 months, the formation of fruiting bodies takes only a few hours.

Unfortunately, the smoky fish lives no more than 48 hours (it can be found from summer to mid-November). It looks like a gray round jelly with a weight at the base. During the ripening period, a brownish or olive cap rises on a spongy stem. An unpleasant odor is formed.

By the end of the second day of existence, the ordinary merry no longer smells, and then completely dissolves.

Many mushroom pickers believe that a particularly high concentration of medicinal properties is found in the egg of the mushroom mushroom.

Veselka mushroom. Places where fungus grows. Preparation of healing tincture from Veselka.

Where and how to find

Veselki vulgaris grow throughout Russia. These mushrooms can be found in both mixed forests, and in broad-leaved trees, which suggests that most medicinal mushrooms can be found in the central part of the country. Sometimes it is found outside temperate latitudes. On mushroom picking forums they sometimes say that fungi are found in the Far East, in Western Siberia, in the European North.

Irina Selyutina (Biologist):

You can collect “smotnik” from May until October. However, August is considered the best time, because... It is at this time that the peak activity of mycelium is observed in terms of the formation of young fruiting bodies. This means it will be easier to find them.

It is best to choose sunny weather for searching, but do not forget that, like other mushrooms, the “devil’s egg” loves rain and it is after rain that it will begin to grow in wet weather.

When collecting the “eggs,” you need to carefully dig them out with your hands or using a small shovel (you can confiscate a child’s scoop). If the mushroom has just begun to “hatch”, cut it off or pick it. However, despite the same spectrum of action, preference is usually given to the underground “egg”. Collect them in a wide container covered with a soft cloth.

Veselki can act as a saprotroph. Then they either grow alone near dead trees or form real colonies. Near the stumps of spruce and oak there are often families of 10 mushrooms or more. And at times they can form mycorrhiza with some shrubs, oak or beech.

Sometimes they can be found even within the city. If climatic conditions suitable, they can also appear in city parks and squares. But you should not eat or infuse such mushrooms. They are susceptible to harmful influences carbon dioxide and automobile exhausts.

You can find mushrooms by the characteristic smell of rotting meat. This smell is very attractive to a number of flying insects. They are attracted chemical composition and mucus aroma. Insects carry fungal spores on their legs. This device does not work in cold conditions.

In cool weather, mushrooms emit a natural smell. According to mushroom pickers, it resembles a bouquet aroma. Don’t be fooled when collecting: the capricious mushroom often does not grow in the place where you saw it last season.

Some fungi have learned to use their fruiting bodies as flowering plants, moving from wind pollination to insect pollination. Yes, such mushrooms do not smell like sweet nectar, which attracts bees and butterflies, but something completely different, attracting flies, carrion beetles and butterflies that feed on feces, but this is not done for you and me, so we must treat it with understanding.

The variety of fungi is very large. They belong to several families, distributed mainly in warm regions of the planet. What unites them general property. The fruiting body begins its development inside a mucous, leathery shell-covered “egg”, which, when ruptured, releases a complex-shaped mushroom. Sometimes this formation that comes to light resembles ordinary mushrooms and looks like a stalk bearing a cap, but this is only a superficial resemblance. Top part The fruiting body is covered with mucus containing spores. The entire mushroom emits a powerful, disgusting odor, which can sometimes be felt 50 meters or more away. The fun games include the most large mushrooms our planet with fruiting bodies up to 1.2 m tall, and the fastest growing - having escaped from the “egg”, the mushroom grows literally before our eyes.

Diversity of fruiting bodies of fungi
(the whole world, not just ours).

So, our most famous and most widespread fungus is actually common veselka (Phallus impudicus).

The specific shape of the mushroom and the change in smell during growth aroused people's interest. The "Witches Egg" was considered the best remedy, to evoke feelings of love, and a mature mushroom was considered poisonous. Veselka has been used by healers since ancient times. The archives contain data on the use of the veselka in healing back in Kievan Rus. By the way, A.G. Lukashenko called this mushroom “the national treasure of Belarus.”

In Borneo, vesels were considered the penises of dead heroes, appearing at the sites of their glorious death. In Germany, if a fungus grew near the tomb, this was considered evidence of hidden sins and crimes that were not revealed during the life of the buried person. In Nigeria, the mushroom was used for magical purposes. It was believed that he could make the sorcerer invisible at the moment of danger threatening him. In northern Montenegro, peasants rubbed goo on the necks of bulls before the local equivalent of bullfighting to make them stronger. They also fed Veselka eggs to young bulls as an aphrodisiac to help them grow into good producers.
It is known that the famous writer Balzac cured a stomach ulcer with the tincture of Veselka, which was prepared for him in St. Petersburg. A.S. Pushkin, who suffered from thrombophlebitis, also used Veselka tincture.
In many countries, attempts are being made to industrially cultivate this fungus, which have not yet resulted in serious success.

At a young age, the mushroom is ovoid, 4-6 x 3-5 cm, the future fruiting body is surrounded by a thick mucous membrane under a whitish leathery film. When ripe, the shell around the mushroom breaks into 2-3 lobes, forming a vagina. The mushroom grows unusually quickly, reaching its maximum size in 15-40 minutes. A hollow spongy leg (receptaculum), 10-30 x 2-5 cm, rises from the egg. At its upper end there is a light, cellular, thimble-shaped “cap” bearing a green-olive layer of spore-bearing mucus that smells disgustingly like carrion. Attracted by a similar “aroma,” flies and other insects become distributors of fungal spores, getting dirty in the mucus covering the “cap.” When the spores are “disassembled”, the smell disappears.

In a variety of common veselka, Veselki dressed in a toga (P. impudicus var. togatus), a white openwork mesh may descend from under the mushroom cap different lengths(from very short to almost reaching the ground). The purpose of the mesh is to further enhance the smell and give insects an additional convenient place to land. Previously, such veils with a mesh were confused with the so-called “lady with a veil” ( P. duplicatus, =Dyctiophora duplicata, double net), which is why the latter was considered much more common than it actually is.

(P. impudicus var. togatus). Thanks to Igor Krom for the photographs that became the basis of this collage.

Veselka vulgaris and its “trade” variety are found throughout the temperate forest zone of Russia. The mushroom grows on the soil in deciduous and mixed forests, in bushes, among grass, everywhere infrequently and not abundantly. It is a facultative symbiotroph and can form mycorrhiza with oak, beech, linden and some shrubs. Does not tolerate frost, bears fruit from July to the end of September.

More rare and heat-loving compared to the common veselka cheerful Adriana (P. hadriani) in the “egg” stage has a more elongated shape, the egg itself is colored lilac or purple, the leg is more massive when it appears, up to 8 cm in diameter.

It is found, as far as is known, only in the European part of Russia.

Until recently it was believed that "lady with a veil" (P. duplicatus) is purely American look, and everything that was previously described as double net carrier- This P. impudicus var. togatus. Now, thanks to molecular research, it has become clear that the “lady with a veil,” although rare, is still found at least in the European part of Eurasia. It differs from the Veselka, dressed in a toga, by a significantly more developed mesh ( indusium).

(P. duplicatus).

Another "mesh" fun, growing in our country, is a fun thing that is called - net-bearing (Phallus indusiatus). The mushroom is widespread (and cultivated for food and medicinal purposes) in South and South-East Asia, but here it is cold, and it is very rarely found in Southern Siberia and the south of the Far East, mainly as an alien. Listed in the Red Book of the Irkutsk region.

It differs from the double vesel first of all in its even larger mesh with significantly larger cells.

Another exotic veselka, widespread in the tropics, but growing here only in the Primorsky Territory, is Veselka reddish (P. rubicundus).

In the south of the European part of Russia it is noted cartilaginous fun (P. flavocostatus). Information about its distribution is fragmentary, and I don’t yet have enough photographic material to create a collage. Irina Ukhanova informed me about the presence of this fungus in our flora.

The two types of mutinus we meet are close in shape to the Vessels - the Ravenella and the Canine. Both fungi are alien, but have already spread widely throughout Russia.

More common Mutinus Ravenelle(it “came” to us from the Baltic region) has a fruiting body, first in the form of a white or grayish elongated pointed egg 2-3 cm in size, where under the membranous skin there is a bright, red-pink rudiment of the “leg”; the egg is ruptured by two lobes, from which a porous hollow “leg” rises, 5-10 cm long and about 1 cm in diameter, pinkish in color, with a thickened tuberous tip of a red-crimson color. When ripe, it is covered at the end with a thick and smooth, brown-olive spore-bearing mucus. The mushroom emits a strong, unpleasant smell of carrion, attracting flies.

Grows in humus-rich soil in deciduous forests, parks, gardens, near rotting wood and stumps, in bushes, in damp places, after and during warm rains. Gardner's lysurus ( Lysurus gardneri). Its recipe has a cylindrical shape, 6-10 cm high and about 1-1.5 cm wide. In Russia, this fungus is considered alien; it was first discovered in 1976 in greenhouses Sverdlovsk region(state farm “Dubsky”). According to the main version, the mushroom was brought there along with fertile soil.

Gardner's lysurus (L. gardneri)

Another lysurus, as rare as the previous one, is Lysurus multilocular (L. periphragmoides = Simblum sphaerocephalum). The fungus inhabits the tropics of both hemispheres; in our country it is found at the very border of its range or as an alien species. It has an extremely unique appearance; it is very difficult to confuse it with any other species.

IN last years Another heat-loving mushroom has moved to attack our territory from the south and southeast - java flowertail (Pseudocolus fusiformis = Anthurus javanicus). It is marked in southern regions both European and Asian parts of Russia. Included in the red books of the Krasnodar and Primorsky territories, as well as the Republic of Adygea.

Java flowertail (P. fusiformis)

Two more invasive subtropical-tropical exotic species, regularly penetrating our territory (including with soil and seedlings) and already successfully establishing themselves in the southern and some central regions, belong to the genus Clathrus. It is widely known for its rounded-cellular appearance grate red (Clathrus ruber), and Archer's clathrus (C. archeri). The red trellis comes from the Mediterranean region, its natural range is North Africa, Southern Europe and Western Asia. Currently, it is widely distributed throughout Europe (including in the south of the European and Asian parts of Russia, and sometimes in midland regions) and has been introduced to all continents of the planet. Archer's clathrus is native to Australia and Tasmania. Together with seedlings, it penetrated North America, Africa, Asia and Europe, and is now actively spreading everywhere.
