Safety regulations

With all the charms mushroom hunting do not forget about its dangers. The forest is fraught with many threats. First of all, collect only famous mushrooms. It is recommended to study how edible species look before going into the forest.

Even popular mushrooms can be dangerous if the forests are close to major highways and factories. In this case, the “catch” should be carefully processed in the kitchen: clean the mushrooms from sand, earth and needles. Boil the prey in a saline solution (30 grams of salt per 1 liter of water). Every 20 minutes, the solution must be changed, boiled for about an hour. Mushrooms must be washed between changes of solution cold water in a colander.

Before you go to the forest, warn your relatives about your plans: in which direction will you go, how long are you going to spend time for silent hunting. It is worth taking a supply of water and food with you, fully charged mobile phone and compass.

“You have to pay attention to the weather. Be careful when it's windy strong wind, trees can fall. Another rule for everyone without exception is to follow the rules fire safety in the forest, be careful with fires and cigarettes,” said Aleksey Dikiy, director of the Lomonosov forestry, to LL.

Preparing to go out into the forest

Mushroom memo:
1. The first rule of the mushroom picker: if in doubt, don't take it. And besides, don't try!
2. You need to go for mushrooms in the morning: while dew glistens on hats, it will be easier to find mushrooms.
3. Shoes and clothes should be comfortable and closed as much as possible, so you protect yourself from sharp knots and insects.
4. Don't forget to take a container of water, a knife and a map (or better, a navigator) with you.
5. Get a “magic wand”, which will be convenient to lift the moss, leaves and sticks (if you don’t want to bend over every time), it is desirable that there is a “slingshot” at the end of the wand.
6. To collect mushrooms, it will be more convenient to get a basket or basket. So the mushrooms will last longer.
7. Do not use bags, bags and backpacks to collect mushrooms. The exception, perhaps, is chanterelles. They do not break or crumble during transportation.
8. It is advisable to fold tubular mushrooms with the cap up, small ones - whole, cut off the stem of large ones.
9. You can not take overripe old mushrooms. They can accumulate toxic and harmful substances.
10. Almost all mushrooms tend to grow in families. Found one - look for another nearby.
11. Long time mushrooms can not be stored (no more than 2-3 hours). Therefore, having come from the forest, you should immediately sort them out and begin processing. Rapid spoilage of mushrooms is associated with a high moisture content and, accordingly, in rainy weather mushrooms will spoil faster.

12. You can store raw mushrooms in the refrigerator for several hours. In the absence of a refrigerator, you can fold the mushrooms in one layer and place in a cool place.
13. If it is not possible to sort out the mushrooms immediately, you should douse them with salted boiling water: then they will not deteriorate during the day.
14. All mushrooms, in particular lamellar and russula, should be cut only with a stem to make sure that there is no membranous ring characteristic of pale grebe.
15. Always carefully check your "catch", remember: even a small part of the pale grebe is enough to send a person to last way.
16. For drying, salting and pickling, you need to take whole and strong mushrooms.
17. Never. Not. Try. Mushrooms. On the. Taste. Even if they smell good.
18. Conditionally edible mushrooms (they are used for salting) should be immediately placed in a saucepan and poured with cold water in order to remove bitterness and milky juice.
19. Do not use galvanized and aluminum utensils for salting and marinating.
20. It is undesirable to go for mushrooms alone, in big company less risk of getting lost. If you are walking alone, then warn relatives and friends, indicating the approximate route and how far you are leaving.

How are things currently?

There are quite a few “mushroom” places throughout the Leningrad region, but 2017 has not yet been particularly pleasing to fans of “quiet hunting”.

During the first ten days of July, the weather was cold, the forest stands dry - not the most good conditions for mushroom growth.

The forest is mixed. Swamps in places, forest in places. Lots of lowlands.

According to the advice of experienced mushroom pickers, you need to go from Kolchanovo towards Usadishche (or Tikhomirovshchina) across the bridge over the Syas River (turn left). The mushroom forest begins immediately on both sides of the road.

Kirovsky district

Sinyavino village

It is difficult to find an occupation more contemplative and bringing happiness than the summer mushroom picking. Once you take a walk through the woods with a basket, you will be drawn to this exciting activity again and again. Can't believe it? And you try, in the early summer morning, when Sun rays break through the mighty branches of trees, and the air is still full of night coolness ...

These mysterious mushrooms...

Mushrooms are one of the most interesting. They combine both signs of plants and animals. Incredibly diverse in shape and coloring, they live in the most unexpected corners of our planet. Known specimens settled on the seabed.

And again conspiracy theorists fantasized ...

Since ancient times, people have been studying the properties of mushrooms. To this day, these amazing organisms are not fully understood. There are two inexplicable but proven facts about mushrooms:

  1. Having incredible energy. Science knows mushrooms that can crack asphalt, absorb radiation and change their shape in a very short period of time.
  2. Influence on people's minds. There are no other plants in nature that can change the biochemistry of the brain so much. That is, to have a pronounced psychedelic effect.

From this follows an interesting hypothesis about the extraterrestrial origin of the organisms in question.

What are mushrooms?

Living in the forest, growing on trees and even entering into a close symbiosis with humans. We are also interested in those specimens that grow in the forest.

Scholars share Forest mushrooms into edible, conditionally edible and poisonous. Mushrooms are recognized as edible (and very tasty) gifts of the forest, polish mushrooms, boletus, chanterelles, mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. In the season of mushrooms, a real hunt goes after them!

Conditionally edible mushrooms can also be eaten. Just to begin with, they need to be brought to the correct condition. That is, in a certain way, soak, evaporate, carry out cunning manipulations, and only then eat. Black milk mushrooms belong to this class of mushrooms.

But it’s better not to joke with poisonous mushrooms ... Why - read on.

In what cases is it better to just admire the gift of the forest?

When there is even the slightest suspicion of the edibility of the mushroom.

Most of the Leningrad region is satanic mushroom and red fly agaric. And also - all the unfamiliar and dubious gifts of the forest. This is the rule of the wise mushroom picker. Even the most experienced specialist will not take an incomprehensible mushroom into his basket.

Finally, I would like to reassure the reader: lethal outcome leads only to poisoning by the well-known pale grebe. In all other cases, people survive (the consequences depend on how strong the liver and kidneys are). Another thing is that such experiments are obviously meaningless. Next, we will talk about edible and healthy mushrooms in the Leningrad Region, a photo is attached.

Mushroom season is truly a wonderful time!

Spring nature is fascinating: insects frolic in the air, streams flow, and the sky in the evenings becomes starry and alluring.

The first mushrooms of the Leningrad region (the photo of the assorted will follow the cute fly agaric) appear at the end of April. And it is, of course, morels. They do not differ in beautiful appearance, but in palatability only young mushrooms can compete with them. The map of mushroom places will tell you more about their favorite places.

Next comes the season of summer collection of forest gifts. In June, fresh boletus and boletus appear. They love to grow in birch groves. Oilers almost always live in families: if you find one pretty oily mushroom, then you should carefully study the area around. The second decade of June gives mushroom pickers white picks.

July is another mushroom month. Mushrooms, chanterelles and mushrooms appear in the forests. And from the middle of the month, the earth is decorated with multi-colored russula hats. These mouth-watering mushrooms amaze with their richest color palette ...

August is traditionally recognized as the most mushroom month. The number of white mushrooms, aspen mushrooms, russula and chanterelles is increasing. Specifically, mushrooms and belushki are considered August mushrooms. The first appear at the beginning of the month, the second - closer to its end. poisonous mushrooms Leningrad region (fly agaric and pale grebes) are also actively growing in last month summer. They catch the eye with their bright red hats with white pimples. Amanitas grow in forest lowlands and along roadsides.

The autumn mushroom season in the Leningrad region is September and the first two weeks of October. Traditionally summer mushrooms are gradually declining. In the forests, more and more often there are various rows - belushki, jaundices and greenfinches. Also, on old stumps and next to majestic trees, you can meet friendly families of honey mushrooms. The season ends with the onset of the first frosts and a drop in temperature to 5 degrees with a plus sign.

Spring trip for mushrooms

Places in the Leningrad region, let's start with the habitat of the first spring mushroom- morel. To be more precise - morel conical. This mushroom grows in coniferous and deciduous forests Leningrad region, it can be found on the site of clearings, fires and burnt forests. Having found one conical morel, in 99% of cases you can find the whole family.

Most often, the mushroom grows in the southern part of the region, namely, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe village of Tosno. The map of mushroom places in the Leningrad region, located further, confirms this. At the end of April, in addition to a basket of morels, you can also collect birch sap. This wonderful spring drink restores strength and gives a charge of vivacity.

Summer-autumn location of mushrooms

Most actual question lovers of the forest and its gifts - where to pick mushrooms in the Leningrad region in the summer. The easiest way to answer it is with a map of mushroom places. It has successful routes compiled experienced hunters for the gifts of the forest (mushroom places in the Leningrad region are marked with symbolic icons).
