Top 10 mushroom places in the Ryazan region

Social networks are full of photographs of buckets overflowing with mushrooms. They say that even while stuck in a traffic jam, you can pick up a hefty bag of boletus and white boletus. There are many who have collected buckets of mushrooms directly from their summer cottages. “Meshcherskaya Side” has compiled its top 10 most mushroom places in the Ryazan region.

The village of Laskovo, Ryazan region. It’s not for nothing that a mushroom festival is held here every year. In the forests surrounding the homeland of the famous Fevronia, there are so many mushrooms that “you can even mow them with a scythe.”
The village of Novaya Derevnya, Putyatinsky district. Due to unemployment in the village, most local residents are engaged in “harvesting” and selling mushrooms. And, they say, mushroom pickers make good money from this.
The village of Dubrovichi, Ryazan region. Just a 30-minute drive from Ryazan, everyone can return with full baskets of boletus and porcini mushrooms.
The village of Zanino-Pochinki, Shilovsky district. There are an abundance of pine forests in these areas. Therefore, this September, according to local mushroom pickers, there were a lot of mushrooms.
The village of Kochemary, Kasimovsky district. Kasimov has long been famous for its mushroom places, and along the entire route people sell mushrooms. But it is in the Kochemar forests that most mushrooms grow.
The village of Fedotevo, Spassky district. Already at the turn to the village there are abundant birch forests, in which you can search for boletus mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, and chanterelles with honey mushrooms.
The village of Kriusha, Klepikovsky district. In general, the forests of this area are not only protected, but also mushroom. They are rich not only in mushrooms, but also in berries, including cranberries, which have already ripened in the local swamps.
The village of Ungor, Putyatinsky district. Here in the large forests, on the contrary, there are, surprisingly, few mushrooms. But in small forests they are abundant. And just a few minutes drive from the village.
The village of Nazarovka, Chuchkovsky district. Most often in the forest here you come across porcini mushrooms, which are also popularly called “dear” mushrooms.
The village of Tuma, Klepikovsky district. Here you can find mushrooms for every taste. Everything grows in the Tuma forests: from russula to milk mushrooms.

Mushrooms are collected only with stems. It is by the legs that poisonous species are identified during sorting. If you decide to buy more mushrooms, pay attention to the fact that the caps must have stems. If the seller offers only “heads” of mushrooms, refuse to purchase. You will not be able to accurately determine whether the mushroom in front of you is a poisonous or an edible one.

Kadomsky Veniz

Embroidery in the Kadom Venise style is unique in that it is done white on white. This type of embroidery arose during the reign of Emperor Peter the Great, when rich people wore underwear and outerwear with lace. Why "veniz"? Because Venetian lace made a great impression on fashionistas, and local needlewomen began to master the technique. And everything worked out.

The Kadom factory has received many awards for its products presented at various exhibitions.

In local stores you can find a great variety of different products with embroidered symbols of the region. Elegant and delicate work is a real work of art. There is no doubt that your friends will treasure such a gift.

Tips for beginner mushroom pickers

For the first time, it is better to go on a quiet hunt with an experienced person who knows mushrooms well.
It is best to go mushroom picking in the morning - between 6 and 7 o'clock.
The golden rule of a mushroom picker is “if you’re not sure, don’t take it!” It is better to leave a suspicious mushroom in the forest.
To avoid getting lost, study the map of the area in advance. Take a fully charged mobile phone with you.
A novice mushroom picker would do well to use a mushroom guide to distinguish between poisonous and false ones.
Harvesting near roads and industrial enterprises is prohibited. The fruiting body easily absorbs harmful substances (heavy metals, combustion products, etc.) from the air and soil. Old specimens are especially dangerous.
Throw away worms - they are harmful to the human body, causing poisoning and allergies.
Do not take rotten mushrooms - even after removing the rotten parts, the taste of the remaining ones will be hopelessly spoiled.

Edible varieties

boletus

One of the favorites among mushroom pickers. The color of the cap is from light gray to brown, the leg is gray-white, scaly. Prefers birch forests, also found in mixed forests.

In all types of boletus, the cut flesh does not change its color under the influence of atmospheric oxygen. Since all species are edible, very often mushroom pickers do not distinguish between them, uniting them under one name - “boletus”. Only the most inquisitive try to find out the characteristics of each species in order to find out where and when it is best to collect them, which means returning from the “quiet hunt” with a full basket.

Collected from early summer to late autumn. A rich harvest of boletus can be collected even in young birch forests.

Boletus

It comes in red, yellow-brown and pine. They differ from boletus mushrooms in having a thicker stem and a dense cap. The color of the cap is red-orange (rarely white), the stem is velvety, white. A characteristic feature is that the flesh becomes bluish-black when cut.

Collected from June to October in aspen forests. It is also found in mixed and pine forests.

Porcini

Boletus has an excellent nutty taste. The color of the cap is from whitish to dark brown, the leg is thick, massive, slightly lighter. The pulp is dense, white.

People believe that the white mushroom and the fly agaric go hand in hand with each other: if fly agarics have appeared, you can go in search of the white mushroom.

Grows from June to October in deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests. Fruits in waves.

Milk mushrooms

They are distinguished by their special cap shape: pressed in the center with curved fringed edges. The color of the cap of different species can be white, light brown, golden, or black. The leg is short.

The mushroom hides under fallen leaves and is found in large groups towards the end of summer and autumn in deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests.

Milk mushrooms form mycorrhizae with a number of tree species, in particular with birch, spruce and willow.

Chanterelles

It can be recognized by its unusual shape, reminiscent of an umbrella turned outward: the cap is almost completely fused with the stem.

Chanterelle is one of the most famous edible mushrooms. As with champignon, successful experiments were carried out with it in the early 1970s on growing the mycelium of these mushrooms using the “deep cultivation” method. Everything went well from the point of view of high biological productivity, but an insurmountable obstacle was the complete lack of specific taste and aroma of the “artificial mushrooms.”

The color of the mushroom ranges from light yellow to bright orange. Found from June to October, growing in families.

Russula

Small fragile specimens with a white stem and a cap of various colors (white, pink, green, yellowish, light brown, gray, black). The skin of the cap is usually dry and only sometimes cracks. Collected from mid-summer to late autumn in deciduous and mixed forests.

Some species are conditionally edible, so it is recommended to soak or boil them before cooking.

Butter

They got their name from the slippery, oily cap of young mushrooms, covered with an easily removable skin. Its color ranges from yellow to dark brown, the leg is slightly lighter. It is yellow below (it darkens in older mushrooms) and consists of thin tubes.

Collected from early summer to mid-autumn, most often found in coniferous forests.

Honey mushrooms

Can be found on old stumps, fallen tree trunks, and just on the ground. The cap is light yellow to dark brown, the thin leg is slightly lighter, and has a characteristic skirt.

They grow in large groups in the forest from early summer to late autumn.

Poisonous varieties

Fly agaric is easily recognized by its bright color

In the Ryazan region you can also find poisonous mushrooms that cause poisoning. The most dangerous are the fly agaric and toadstool.

fly agaric

Grows in coniferous and deciduous forests, in groups or singly. They are easily recognized by their bright red cap with white specks (there are mushrooms with yellow or orange). The leg is white, with a skirt.

Interestingly, the name “fly agaric” originally referred only to the red fly agaric, the tincture of which was used in the fight against flies. Subsequently, it was assigned to all species of this genus.

Found from early summer to November.

Death cap

Deadly poisonous mushroom. The color of the cap is from white to grayish-green, the leg is white or the same shade as the cap. The leg below has a tuberous thickening and a volva similar to a pouch. Grows in light deciduous and mixed forests from late summer to late autumn.

Prefers damp places.

Pale toadstool is sometimes confused with russula or champignons. It should be remembered that the former are fragile, while the latter have darker plates on the back of the cap.

False honey mushrooms

They are dangerous. It is very important to know the signs of real mushrooms so as not to confuse them.

The main difference is the presence of a skirt on the leg of a real honey mushroom.
False ones are brighter: brick red, orange, rusty brown. However, there are inedible gray-yellow mushrooms that can easily be confused with genuine ones.
Poisonous ones smell unpleasantly of earth or mold.

Other dangerous mushrooms

The false chanterelle is also found in the forests of Meshchera, which differs from the real one in its fiery red color and also has a very unpleasant taste.

Experienced mushroom pickers do not recommend collecting pig mushrooms (they have a cap from olive-brown to dark brown and a short stem. They grow from June to October, usually in large groups).

Previously, they were considered conditionally edible, but now they are considered poisonous. The toxin accumulates in the human body throughout life and can cause severe allergic reactions, liver and kidney damage, and anemia. However, the concentration level of the particular compound (antigen) that causes these problems varies from person to person. Therefore, someone can eat them all their life and will be healthy, but for someone even one time will be enough for something irreparable to happen. By the way. It is not possible to determine the maximum concentration of this antigen.

If symptoms of poisoning appear (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, weak pulse), you should definitely seek medical help.
