In September, mushrooms have the most expanse. The sweltering heat is gone, it often rains, but it is still quite warm. These conditions are loved by many mushrooms, so they grow en masse. You can collect a whole basket of "noble", and if you're lucky - a bag of honey agarics.
"Noble" copies
In September, it is not at all surprising to meet a person whose basket is filled to the brim with mushrooms. After all, this month is perfect for a "quiet hunt". This is the name of a pleasant pastime in search of mushrooms. If your area has spruce forests, be sure to go there. Move the spruce branches and it is likely that you will see a whole family of porcini mushrooms. By September, they become important, pot-bellied and are respectfully called boletus. They rarely stand alone. You can often find a whole noble family.
Not only the boletus mushroom grows in September. Boletus, boletus, which people also called noble, at this time in the literal sense of the word arise from the earth. The former love ditches dug around the forest, a summer cottage settlement, the banks of overgrown sand pits. And in the aspen forest you can find a whole colony of redheads. Boletus boletus can be found on the moss, under the trees of the same name. Small Christmas trees are also a home for these mushrooms.
Honey mushrooms
But not only from the ground will the desired gift of nature appear. In September, mushroom pickers are delighted with autumn mushrooms. They look for a place for themselves in the crown of sick or fallen trees. If you are lucky, you will come out of the forest with a whole bag of honey agarics. After all, they grow in huge colonies. The main thing is not to confuse them with false copies. The honey agaric has a white “skirt” under the hat. The legs are thin, the caps in the open state are large, almost flat, on them there is a pattern in the form of small dark lines and dots. But some toadstools also fit this description. Therefore, make your first trips to pick mushrooms with knowledgeable people or, before going to the forest for mushrooms in September, study how they look in the photograph.
Other mushrooms
At the beginning of autumn, the pigs continue their triumphant march. They are fried, salted, pickled. At the end of September, black women join them. In this mushroom, if you break it, you will see a white liquid that stands out. It is bitter (you cannot try it - it is poisonous!). To remove the bitterness, first the blackies are soaked for 5-6 hours in several waters, only then they are boiled, and then salted. When cooked properly, these gifts of the forest become crispy and tasty. They also prepare milk mushrooms, waves, which also like to grow in September. Before soaking, peel off the skin from the edges of the cap.
Stewed mushrooms in sour cream are good. You will definitely taste them if you go mushroom picking this month. If there were few chanterelles in July-August, they will make up for their appearance in September. They also go well with sour cream.
But russula tastes better with onions, fried. These mushrooms are also frequent guests of the September forests.
