In all edible mushrooms there is simply incredible healing power, however, the white mushroom has been and remains the champion in terms of taste and useful properties. For its impressive size and nutritional value, he has earned the right to be called the "king of mushrooms."

The color of the porcini mushroom is not at all white, as one might assume from its name. The color of its hat depends on the type of terrain and type of forest and can vary from light gray to deep brown.

And he was nicknamed “white” for his rare ability to remain light when cut and dried - a broth based on porcini mushrooms turns out to be thick, fragrant and completely transparent. The rest of the mushrooms turn black within a couple of minutes after cutting.

The porcini mushroom holds the record for the content of vitamins and microelements that a person needs to maintain and improve health. Its pulp contains a lot of vitamins A and E, used for the prevention of oncology. In addition, the vitamins in the white fungus are in their natural form and are absorbed by the body much better than any dietary supplements.

Boletus is a reliable source of vitamin D, used by doctors to prevent osteoporosis, rickets, diffuse goiter, joint diseases and hormonal disorders. At the same time, due to the presence of protein in mushrooms, vitamin D is perfectly absorbed by the human digestive system.

Ceps contain selenium, which also has the ability to suppress cancer cells. And in conjunction with vegetable protein, it is completely processed by the body and does not give any side effects, as happens when it is taken in tablet form.

And mushrooms are very rich in potassium, which is so necessary for the normal functioning of the heart muscle. Calcium and iron, contained in excess in the pulp of boletus, keep bones and joints healthy, and also help maintain a normal level of hemoglobin in the blood.

To normalize this indicator, as well as to strengthen the body's defenses in case of anemia, it is recommended to regularly add powder from dried porcini mushrooms to food. It is also an effective preventive measure against atherosclerosis and osteoporosis.

Phytohormones have also been found in white mushrooms. One of them is gibberellin, a growth hormone that is now synthesized on an industrial scale for use in veterinary medicine and pharmaceuticals. The presence of gibberellin in the boletus is directly related to why the mycelium of the white fungus most often coexists with large tall trees. The fact is that mushrooms, taking water and nutrients from trees, in return give them gibberellin, which stimulates their intensive growth.

Mushrooms also protect host trees from most infectious diseases and malignant formations. This is such a mutually beneficial partnership.

Today, the restorative and protective properties of porcini mushrooms are widely used in cosmetology. Mushroom extract is added to preparations designed to improve scalp hair growth, as well as restore hairline in case of premature hair loss.

Polysaccharides in mushrooms suppress the development of malignant tumors and prevent the appearance of new ones. By action, these substances are similar to antibiotics - they do not allow harmful bacteria and microbes to multiply and restore blood balance. Boletus pulp contains all eight essential amino acids, which is very valuable for vegetarians and people on a strict diet (mushrooms are also a low-calorie food product).

Ceps are full of melanin, which the human body needs to renew cells and regenerate all its systems. Mushroom gruel is applied to poorly healing wounds, due to which they heal much faster. Dried ground porcini mushroom has a similar effect - they are sprinkled with skin lesions for their speedy recovery.

You can also wipe ulcers, burns, frostbite and bedsores with infusion of white fungus. For its preparation, fresh mushrooms are cut into small pieces, placed in a thermos, poured with water (1:10), infused for one hour and then filtered.

Masks made from pureed boletus have a rejuvenating and regenerating effect, refreshing the complexion. And if you regularly apply the crushed pulp of this fungus to scars, scars and stretch marks left after pregnancy, then they will gradually become less noticeable due to the alignment and smoothing of the skin.

Boletus helps to dissolve cholesterol plaques in the vessels, which is very useful for atherosclerosis. Riboflavin, which mushrooms are so rich in, is necessary for the good functioning of the thyroid gland. It also stimulates the growth of hair, nails and skin regeneration.

Porcini mushrooms are so delicious that they can be eaten even fresh, without any heat treatment. They are also dried, pickled, stewed and fried.

Dried porcini mushrooms are a great snack (they are eaten like crackers), and after grinding they can be put into ready-made dishes as a vitamin supplement. After soaking, dry mushrooms can be used as a pie filling and for cooking mushroom soups and sauces.

In the next article I will tell you how you can grow this uniquely useful mushroom in your area. It seems to me that you can spend time and effort on this venture, because ceps are difficult to buy on the market even in season, and they cost some unrealistic money.

Appearance

On the hat of the mushroom, the skin is adherent, its color can be from a brownish-red hue to almost white color. With age, the color of the cap becomes darker.

In young boletus mushrooms, the cap is convex, and as the fungus ages, it transforms into a flat-convex one (rarely prostrate). The diameter of the cap can reach 10-25 centimeters. The surface of the cap is both smooth and wrinkled. The tubular layer has a thickness of 1-4 centimeters and a notch near the stem. It is distinguished by a light shade, the presence of small rounded pores and is easily separated from the pulp.

The leg of the mushroom is quite massive, at first club-shaped or barrel-shaped, but as it grows, it stretches. Its height is 10-20 centimeters, and its thickness is from 3 to 10 centimeters. Outside, the leg may be white, brownish or rarely reddish. Most often, on its surface there is a mesh of veins of a lighter shade.

The pulp of the porcini mushroom is fleshy and juicy, in young mushrooms it is white, in older ones it is yellowish and fibrous.

The average weight of a mushroom is about 200 grams, but huge mushrooms weighing several kilograms can also be found.

Kinds

Depending on the species, porcini mushrooms differ in mycorrhiza, fruiting season, growth characteristics and other characteristics. There are four independent types of mushrooms and many forms.

Types of white fungus are:

1. Spruce - the most common, with an elongated stem and a brown hat, grows in a spruce forest, fruiting bodies appear from June to October.
2. Birch - a lighter (almost white) cap, differs in growth under birch trees.
3. Oak - brown caps with a grayish tint, mushrooms with loose pulp, grow in oak forests.
4. Pine - a large hat of dark color, often with a purple tint.

Among these species, subspecies are distinguished, the most common of which are:

• Maiden;
• Polish;
• Reticulate;
• Beautiful.

In porcini mushrooms, the following forms are distinguished:

• early (appears in May),
• late (begins to appear in August),
• smooth-legged (without nets on the legs),
• pink-legged,
• lemon yellow,
• olive brown,
• special (purple hats),
• bluish (when pressing on the tubular layer, a slow blue appears),
• orange red,
• light bronze,
• dark bronze,
• false purple,
• arctic,
• mesh.

Where does it grow

White fungus is widespread in Russia. It grows well on sandy, loamy or sandy loamy soil, that is, on soils that drain well and do not become waterlogged.

White mushrooms are found on all continents of the northern hemisphere.

Mushrooms tend to form mycorrhiza with trees such as oak, pine, spruce and birch.

You can find white mushrooms in coniferous, mixed and deciduous forests. In summer, it is found in young groves and plantings, and in autumn - deep in forests, next to abandoned roads, paths and old trees.

White mushrooms do not like damp places, but prefer the presence of lichen or moss cover. Most often, mushrooms grow in forests in which the trees are more than 20 years old.

It is believed that mushrooms love the light, but often mushrooms can be found in a very dark place. If the year is fruitful, then the amount of light does not affect the white fungus, and in years when unfavorable conditions interfere with a large harvest (for example, heavy rainfall, low temperatures at night), many mushrooms can be found in open areas that warm up well.

How to find in the forest

You can go to the forest for porcini mushrooms already in June and look for mushrooms until mid-September.

Early forms of boletus may appear in early May, and in warm climates, fruiting bodies appear not only in September, but also in October. You can find white mushroom after rain, but mushrooms often hide from the eyes of mushroom pickers in fallen leaves and mosses. You can find white mushrooms in wet warm places, and on lit lawns warmed by the sun.

If you find a mushroom and have already put it in a basket, do not rush to leave, but rather carefully inspect everything around, because such mushrooms very often grow with a “family” of up to 20-40 pieces.

Carefully inspect places near spruces, pines, oaks, birches and hornbeams. Also, anthills and red fly agaric can tell about the close proximity of mushrooms. These are frequent companions of the white fungus.

See the video for how porcini mushrooms grow in families. Such a quantity of porcini mushrooms in a small area can be found extremely rarely.

Collection Features

The fruiting of porcini mushrooms is divided into three stages:

1. Rarely and one by one they are found already at the end of June (they are called spikelets).
2. The second stage is the harvest of mushrooms in mid-July (such white mushrooms are called stubblers).
3. Mushrooms also appear massively by the end of August and early September (these mushrooms are deciduous).

The optimum temperature for the appearance of mushrooms in summer is + 15 + 18 degrees, in autumn - + 8 + 10 degrees. Both significant rainfall and night/day temperature fluctuations prevent the development of white fungus. The most favorable conditions for the emergence fruit bodies- brief thunderstorms, warm nights and fog in the morning.

To grow a white mushroom, you need to create conditions in which mycorrhiza is formed. It is optimal to grow mushrooms in young plantings and groves (5-10-year-old trees) with oaks, spruces, pines or birches:

1. To get spores, you need overripe mushrooms. They are placed in water for a day, and after mixing and filtering the resulting liquid with spores, the areas under the selected trees are watered. Harvest with this cultivation will appear in the second or third year. Also, for sowing, you can remove the tubular layer from mature mushrooms, dry it a little and place it in the soil in the form of small pieces.
2. Another way to grow white fungus is to use soil taken from the forest containing mycelium. Having found a boletus in the forest, you need to cut a square of soil around it with a side of 20-30 centimeters with a sharp knife and take it out to a depth of 10-15 centimeters. You can also buy mycelium, which was grown artificially. In both cases, it is necessary to remove a layer of soil on the site, fill the depression with several layers of humus, alternating them with the ground (horse manure, rotten oak wood and fallen oak leaves are used for humus). Mycelium or soil with mycelium is placed on a bed at a depth of 5-7 cm, after which watering is done and everything is covered with leaves.
