Drier mushrooms: useful properties and recipes for cooking

Walking along forest paths is a great way to relieve fatigue, relax and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the forest. The smell of herbs and leaves, birdsong, clean air from ancient times helped people not only to get close to nature, but also to improve their health. The forest was loved and respected in the old days. It was there, in the impenetrable thicket, that Baba Yaga and his girlfriend, Kikimora, lived. But the forest is famous not only for its keepers. It generously shares its gifts that help people maintain their health and gain strength. One of these gifts can be called an amazing, tasty and useful mushroom milkcap mushroom - the king of dewdrops.

What do they look like and where do they grow?

Drupes represent the Syroezhkov family and belong to the suborder of higher mushrooms. Most often they can be found in deciduous and mixed forests. They prefer birch or birch-pine forests with linden undergrowth. They are collected in Western Siberia, in areas of the Upper Volga and Middle Volga region, in the Urals and in Belorussia.

Mountain milk mushrooms ripen from July to September. They may reach a height of 7 cm and a diameter of 20 cm on the convex-flat cap. The edges of the mushroom's headdress are omitted and have a slight fringe. To the touch, the upper part is quite slippery and has a white or yellow tint. The laminae of the pear mushroom are frequent and also have a white-yellow coloration. The mushroom stem is flat and smooth. It is colored white or yellowish. Inside it is hollow. The dense white flesh of the honeydew boasts a fruity aroma.

Druberries grow in real families. According to one version, it is this property that provided the basis for the name, i.e. "milkcap mushroom" - growing in clumps.

Nowadays there are many species of these mushrooms, which differ in their taste and appearance.

Types

Druggies differ from each other in color, odor and, naturally, taste. It is these features that divided the friendly "order" of mushrooms into different species, each of which has its own characteristics:

Real milkcap mushroom.
This species has a milky color with yellow or red spots. Its cap in the center has a kind of funnel, and the edges are bent inward, with fringes. The cap is up to 20 cm in diameter, and its surface becomes slippery in fog or rain. The creamy skin descends on a slender stout stalk, which grows to 6 cm. The mushroom pulp turns yellow when cut. This species is considered one of the best mushrooms for pickling. At the same time in jars it is colored blue.

"Hunting" for this type of milk mushrooms can be from July and until the onset of frosty weather. And the experts advise to collect them in the fall, because the mushrooms at this time, though not have a long shelf life, but it is not so much bitter. Grow milkcap mushrooms in mixed and deciduous forests. They can be found under linden and birch trees. The most suitable soil for a true milkcap mushroom is one that includes a lot of white clay, which is very close to the surface.

Aspen milkcap mushroom
This species has a round, flat cap with a depression in the center and raised edges. It can be up to 30 cm in diameter. The color of the cap is white with red or purple blurred patterns. The laminae are colored pale pink, and it is this trait that distinguishes this species from the rest of its brethren. The stalk of the mushroom is dense. Its height is about 8 cm. These milk mushrooms are white in color and fruity in taste, which when cut produces a whitish milk. They can be found under aspen trees, where milkcocks grow in families and are connected as if they were links of the same chain. The best time for picking is late summer and early fall.

Yellow Duck.
A bright, yellow-golden hue is a distinctive feature of the species. Its cap is also concave in the center and girdled with a fringed skirt. The size of the "headdress" can be 15 cm in diameter. The fungus looks glossy in sunny weather, but rain makes it slimy. The stalk is yellowish in color with small flecks. Its height can be 5 cm. The laminae are usually white and gently descend on the stalk. If you cut the mushroom, a rather stinging liquid will appear, which can then darken and leave dark spots in the place of contact with the skin.

If you go to the spruce forest in August or September, you may well find whole glades of yellow-flagged milk mushrooms under the branches.

Oak Duck Duck.
This species looks more like a funnel with its cap with twisted edges. Its diameter can reach 12 cm. The color is orange-brown with spots of brown, and the stem is the same. The flesh is white and turns pink when cut. The oak milkcap, like all the other species, secretes a juice that is white in color and has a not too obvious smell of mushrooms. It is best to use these mushrooms for pickles, but in general the species is considered edible, but conditionally. Look for these mushrooms in the sunny hills of oak groves, beginning in late summer and until the onset of cold weather.

Black Duck.
According to mushroom hunters, this is one of the best mushrooms for pickling, which has a bright, great taste, and in the process of cooking acquires a distinct shade of red wine. When fresh, it has a yellow-brown or dark olive cap that can measure up to 20 cm in diameter. Its edges are curved inside. The skin is slippery. The stalk has a greenish tint and measures 8 cm in length. It is dense and hollow. The white flesh, when cut, turns gray and secretes mushroom "milk", which reacts with the air and turns purple in color.

"The "king" of starlings grows, as it should, near the queen of the forest, the birch, so you must look for it in birch groves. To look for it is better in summer, in July or August.

Dried milk mushroom
The mushroom has an official name - podgruzok white. This species has a cream-colored cap with a diameter of 20 cm, which, like most milk mushrooms, is concave in the center. Dry milk mushrooms are very tasty and fragrant, and they got their name because dry weather "makes" the tissues of the mushroom crack like thin paper. That is why it is popularly nicknamed "dry". Its habitat is considered to be oak groves, mixed forests or birch groves. The time of collection is from July to September.

Like other representatives of the mushroom kingdom, pear mushrooms have their counterparts, which are not lethal to humans, but it is undesirable to eat them, because their taste is quite pungent and unpleasant. And if they decide to cook them, first soak and then cook in salt water. Among such false milk mushrooms the following species are considered the most famous:

1. Peppercorn. These white mushrooms grow in deciduous woods, in damp and shady conditions. The concave, cream-colored cap can be 20 cm in diameter. It has brown spots where it breaks. When cut, it exudes a sticky white juice which has a bitter-pepper flavor. It can be salted, but in order to do that you will have to soak the raw material several times, changing the water each time. But the dry powder is an excellent spicy seasoning with a spicy touch.
2. Camphor milk mushroom. Very often among the mosses of the coniferous forest you can notice small brownish-red mushrooms with caps of about 6 cm. This is the camphor milkcap mushroom, the smell and taste of which will not allow it to be used as food.
3. Felted milkcap mushroom or fiddler's milkcap mushroom. This species grows near birches and oaks in large groups. It is colored white and its funnel-shaped cap is covered with small villi. The mushroom may be 8 cm high, and the stalk is often completely hidden in the ground, so those who are going to salt such honeydew pick only the top part and then soak it for a long period of time.
4. The golden-yellow milkcap mushroom. The mushroom has a light yellow hue. The edges of the cap curl inward. The surface of these mushrooms sticky and when touched turns purple. When cut, the milk mushroom exudes a liquid that has a rather pleasant aroma. Such a mushroom can be used for salting and pickling. But this should be done after the product has been soaked and boiled.

Such disorders and diseases are within the power of small mushrooms, given by the forest for the benefit of man. But their action has different effects on the male, female and children's bodies.

For women

Women's nervous system is quite vulnerable, so the mushrooms can not be a panacea, of course, but a good remedy that naturally protects against nervous stress, depression, and significantly improve mood. In addition, mushrooms help to get rid of edema and improve bowel function. And, of course, we should not forget that they will protect the body from premature aging and improve the appearance of the skin, keeping it young, and strengthen the hair and nails.

For men

According to statistics, it is the male population is more likely to have high blood sugar levels, which means they have an increased risk of diabetes. It is in this case, milk mushrooms can be an excellent food that can satisfy hunger, while regulating the sugar in the body without contributing to the recruitment of extra pounds. In addition, milk mushrooms will be useful for those who suffer from lung diseases, especially important for people who abuse tobacco products. Dilled milk mushrooms can help to reduce the risk of developing tuberculosis or be a necessary therapy for the disease you already have. But do not think that you can puff like a steam engine, eat kilos of milk mushrooms and be absolutely healthy. Mindfulness is needed everywhere and in everything!

Pregnancy

The responsibility that "piles up" on a woman expecting a baby is very big. The lifestyle and nutrition of the expectant mother depends on a healthy future for her baby. Many dishes can be harmful in this situation. Unfortunately, mushrooms are heavy food, which can be harmful to the mother and the fetus. Druberries are also prohibited, but only salted. But on the boiled and stewed this ban does not apply. The consumption of these mushrooms is useful for the following reasons:

1. Making up for vitamin deficiencies.
2. The presence of amino acids that take part in the formation of body cells.
3. The presence of antioxidants, which fight aging and reduce the risk of cancer.
4. Removal of cholesterol and improvement of heart function, which is very important during pregnancy because of the increased load on this muscle.
5. Strengthening the immune system.
6. No risk of gaining excess weight.

But with all the advantages of eating milk mushrooms, you should remember that this is still a heavy food, which should be eaten in moderation. Also, you should know exactly the origin of the mushrooms and the place of their collection, since they can accumulate radioactive substances, salts of heavy metals, so such milk mushrooms can be dangerous for the mother and baby. In addition, the expectant mother must be sure that it is preparing a milk mushroom, and not false mushrooms. After all, poisoning during pregnancy can lead to unfortunate consequences. On this basis, a pregnant woman should, first of all, consult a doctor about the possibility of eating mushrooms, as well as ask experienced mushroom growers or know 100% herself that the basket contains milk mushrooms, and not something similar to them.

When breastfeeding

During the period of breastfeeding doctors do not recommend to eat any mushrooms until the baby is 5-6 months old. Then you can enjoy mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. As for pear mushrooms, pediatricians do not recommend to eat them before the baby is 10 months from birth. Of course, if you really want to, then you can try 3-4 pieces in boiled form, and see how the reaction of babies, but it is better not to risk. Mushrooms, including milk mushrooms, can disrupt the digestive tract of the newborn, increase flatulence and provoke colic.

In addition, milk mushrooms - this product is allergenic, which means there is a risk of allergic reactions of varying severity. So it is worth waiting until the end of lactation and then enjoy your favorite mushroom dishes, without fearing for the health of the baby.

For children

Druberries are useful not only for adults, but also for children. They help strengthen the immune system, make up for the lack of some vitamins and minerals, improve metabolism. It would seem that this is only beneficial, but for children, mushrooms are heavy, poorly digested food that can lead to malfunctions of the body systems. This is due to the fact that the growing body simply can not digest rough fiber and vitamin B. In addition, pesticides and radionuclides, which may be contained in mushrooms that can absorb these substances, will only bring harm to the child. And do not forget that mushrooms are the most common cause of poisoning.

Thus, pediatricians do not recommend introducing mushrooms into the diet before the age of 2 years, and milk mushrooms should be given to try a child only after 10 years.

When losing weight

Dieting is a period of rejection of many previously favorite foods to achieve ideal parameters (or close to them) of the body. Naturally, the food at this time should be chosen with the lowest caloric content and greater ability to satisfy hunger. Druberries are great for those who have decided to lose weight or are just trying to maintain their weight. They are low in calories, rich in protein, which is a definite plus for those who lose weight, and they also make up for the lack of those substances that do not enter the body in sufficient quantities due to the rejection of certain dishes.

There is even a diet that involves three days of eating pearls in the amount of 300 g per day, divided into three parts, with the addition of vegetables. But most nutritionists believe that milk mushrooms should be eaten no more than 2-3 times a week. Then the benefits will really be, and extra pounds will finally become a thing of the past.
