When will mushrooms go to Udmurtia and recommendations for collection
Residents of the Uvinsky district, in particular the settlement of Chistostem, invite mushroom pickers to "hunt" in September. This is just the peak of the time when the mushrooms will go to Udmurtia. In young pine forests, coniferous forests and spruce forests of this area, many fruit bodies can be collected, especially in sunny glades or lawns with tall and sparse grass.
Note that in the forests of Udmurtia, where mushrooms grow, woodlands usually prevail. These fruit bodies grow in large colonies on sandy soil, forming mycorrhiza with birches, pines and spruces. You can find mushrooms in the southern regions of the region, for example, not far from the settlement "Krasny Bor" or in a pine forest at st. "Chur", which is located north of Izhevsk.
Experienced mushroom pickers give some recommendations for collecting saffron milk caps:
- Never collect fruit bodies near highways, factories, industrial plants, and garbage dumps;
- If the mushroom causes you concern, then you should not risk it and put it in the basket;
- Do not cut off old specimens of mushrooms, because they accumulate toxins and chemical compounds harmful to the body in their pulp, which can cause food poisoning.
- Do not collect wormy and rotten fruit bodies, they can spoil the taste of the prepared dish.
