Despite the cold climate of the spring, summer and autumn months, the forest belt still pleases its guests with a rich harvest. Mushrooms from Novosibirsk 2022 have already found their way into mushroom pickers’ baskets, becoming a delicious delicacy for them. And if our readers have not yet managed to get to the forest, it’s time to explore proven mushroom places before going out hunting. Simple tips and tricks with a photo map will teach you how to find mushroom families in a short time, without flair, with or without experience.
Edible mushrooms of the Novosibirsk region
There are more mixed forests on the map of Novosibirsk than coniferous ones. Therefore, it is better to look for mushrooms that sprout next to deciduous trees. The most delicious porcini or boletus mushrooms, the boletus and boletus families, varieties of snotty mushrooms, red chanterelles and “funny” morels are only a small part of the mushroom encyclopedia typical of this region.
No. 1 – Boletus and boletus
These mushrooms are adjacent to trees that include in their name - species of deciduous trees from the poplar genus and shrubs. The main distinguishing feature of boletuses and boletuses is their eye-catching appearance: a cap of a light brown, brown or reddish hue, a tall and fleshy leg with a veined pattern and a large size.
These mushrooms are used as the main ingredient in soup and other hot dishes, winter preparations and any type of canning.
No. 2 – Butter
Despite the fact that boletus most often grows in coniferous belts, boletus can grow in tall grass. They are characterized by: a mucous cap of a brown or red hue, a spongy surface on the inside and a fleshy leg.
Butter is prepared as a side dish for potatoes, used in soups, and even pickled as a preparation for the winter. You can store mushrooms frozen, after clearing them of slimy film, dirt and stuck blades of grass.
No. 3 – Chanterelles
Rufous or yellow chanterelles grow from mid-summer to early autumn. Their growth begins around July and ends at the end of September. A distinctive feature of edible fruits from false ones is the smell. A nutty aroma with a slight hint of fruit cannot be confused with a muted unpleasant odor.
No. 4 – Milk mushrooms
When choosing mushrooms for pickling, it is better to choose noble milk mushrooms. White, black and gray fruits grow from August to the end of September. In rare cases, mushrooms in Novosibirsk 2022 are stored until October 10-15.
No. 5 – Russula
Unfortunately or fortunately, the appearance of lamellar russula with a pinkish cap repels many mushroom pickers. Many people confuse it with poisonous mushrooms, such as toadstool or fly agaric.
No. 6 – Porcini mushrooms
Boletuses are found throughout Russia. Therefore, the Novosibirsk region is no exception to the rule. There, edible and incredibly valuable mushrooms grow in the grass close to each other. If you have good eyesight, you can find more than one bucket of delicious porcini mushrooms.
Mushrooms from the Red Book
Mushrooms listed in the Red Book of the Novosibirsk Region also grow in Novosibirsk. In total, it lists 22 species, many of which lack data on abundance. Of these, 7 species are included in the Red Book of Russia:
- purple cobweb;
- hericium coralliform;
- double net;
- Mutinus canis;
- Mutinus Ravinel;
- sarcosoma spherical;
- Sparassis curly (mushroom cabbage).
There have been cases when mushroom pickers, going on a “quiet hunt,” found rare types of truffles. This expensive, unusual mushroom is used to prepare delicacies. In Russia, it is allowed to be consumed only after purchase from a special farm. Collecting them is prohibited, because... they are listed in the Red Book.

Sometimes there is a Reishi mushroom (another name is the lacquered tinder fungus). It grows near dead trees and prefers to form fruiting bodies near birch, oak and alder trees. The diameter of the cap is 5-10 cm. It is orange in color, with cream edges. The surface is oily and sticky.

Mushrooms in Novosibirsk in 2022 can be found in any forest. True, not many people manage to spot a clearing right away! This is due to the type of soil, its moisture and lighting. For example, if it rained well the other day, and today the sun is shining through the window, it’s time to go mushroom hunting, having previously studied the mushroom map, which has been tested over recent years.
It's easy to navigate with the help of a map! It is enough to decide on the type of mushrooms you would like to pick. For example, porcini mushrooms love warm sun and well-lit areas, boletus and boletus mushrooms grow near birch and aspen trees, and boletus mushrooms grow in tall grass and coniferous forests.
It is best to look for mushrooms in ravines and holes that retain moisture for a long time. Another option is a territory located on the territory of a river, swamp or small river.

The end of summer and the beginning of autumn is the most favorable time for mushroom pickers. Fogs come at night, and the dew in the forest becomes more abundant. Now near Novosibirsk you can find a huge number of boletus, chanterelles, milk mushrooms and, of course, porcini mushrooms. The real gift for a mushroom picker who goes to the forest in August is saffron milk caps. And already in early September, if you’re lucky, you can run into the first autumn honey mushrooms and Polish mushrooms. “Novosibirsk News” interviewed experienced mushroom pickers and collected folk signs by which one can determine which days it is worth visiting the forest in order to be sure to pick mushrooms.

The first fogs are a signal to start collecting autumn mushrooms
Starting in August, dense fogs in the mornings are a sure sign of the onset of mushroom season. At this time, you can harvest a rich harvest of porcini mushrooms, boletus, boletus, as well as chanterelles, saffron milk caps and milk mushrooms. Especially when the first yellow leaves have already appeared on the birches.
The first chanterelles are a harbinger of the imminent appearance of porcini mushrooms and boletus
When the weather is not hot, short-term rains occur periodically, and the first chanterelles grow in the forest, then after a few weeks you can come for porcini mushrooms and boletus mushrooms.
The first fly agaric mushrooms have appeared - start searching for porcini mushrooms
Porcini mushrooms should also be looked for in places where many fly agaric mushrooms with bright red caps have grown. These mushrooms often coexist. Usually such places are found in mixed forests, but not in thickets, but in an open sunny place.
The rains have passed and the dew has appeared - hurry up before it gets too ripe
The most comfortable conditions for mushrooms are: air humidity - 80-90% and abundant dew. Mushrooms grow from one day to three days. The optimal temperature for the appearance of lamellar mushrooms is +10...+20 degrees, and for noble ones - a little cooler: +5...+15 degrees.
Only young mushrooms whose caps are not fully opened or partially opened are suitable for food. Overripe mushrooms with their caps open like an umbrella have no nutritional value. It is better to hang such a mushroom on a branch and let its spores spread throughout the area. But if the cap is curved like a dome, it means that the mushroom has already released spores and poison is forming in it. You cannot eat such mushrooms: they are the main cause of poisoning.
Oats have begun to be harvested in the fields - go to the nearest forest
There is such a day in the folk calendar as Natalya Ovsyanitsa. Our ancestors celebrated it in the first ten days of September, at which time they began harvesting oats, as well as storing mushrooms for the winter. People said: “Natalya came, let’s go to the forest to pick mushrooms. Honey mushrooms are gone, that means summer is gone.”

Many fluttering butterflies are a sign of active mushroom growth
During the so-called “Indian summer”, when the weather improves and gets considerably warmer, you can see butterflies flying in the field. This sign indicates the active growth of mushrooms. Once again you can go to the forest for boletus, boletus and honey mushrooms.
The leaves have begun to fall - go for autumn honey mushrooms
With the fall of leaves comes the time to collect the so-called “autumn” honey mushrooms. They can be found in dense thickets of grass next to fallen trees and old stumps. In the forest, honey mushrooms grow in large groups; mushrooms can be cut until there is lasting frost.
The first morning frosts are a signal of the beginning of the oyster mushroom harvest
When light frosts occur in the morning and frost forms, but the sun still appears during the day, you can go into the forest to look for oyster mushrooms. These mushrooms are not yet very popular in our country, but they are beginning to appear in stores more and more often. Oyster mushrooms are delicious mushrooms that can be boiled, fried and pickled.
The first snow has fallen - go for winter honey mushrooms
The mushroom season ends with the arrival of November. However, even when real frost has struck and the first fluffy snow has fallen, you can still look for “winter” honey mushrooms in the forest. They often “settle” in the hollows of old trees; these mushrooms are very similar to ordinary honey mushrooms and are quite edible.

Forum: reviews and photos of the harvest
- Timofey Anatolyevich, 47 years old
For me, picking mushrooms is not just an activity, but a favorite pastime. Every year I go on a search to the Novosibirsk rural district or Kudryashovsky Forest to collect as many edible mushrooms as possible for pickling for the winter. I prefer boletus and milk mushrooms more than honey mushrooms, morels and chanterelles.
- Victor Vasilyevich, 58 years old
If you choose a place to collect mushrooms, it is better to choose the Karkansky forest. Every year there I collect a lot of boletus and saffron milk caps, moving away from the edge of the forest deeper into the thicket.
