Description of species of moorheads

The word "gruzd" in translation from Church Slavonic means "heap".

No wonder they got that name.

In ancient times in Russia, mushroom pickers collected their carts and salted in barrels.

All types of moorings unite common features: concentric rings on the cap are seen and the shape changes with the growth of the fungus — first it is convex and then funnel-shaped with the edges bent down.

They belong to the fungi. The plates can be of different colors, depending on the type, and go to the leg. All species of moor bean are united in the genus Mlechnik (lat. Lactarius) of the Syrushage family (lat. Russulaceae).

Did you know? 32.2% protein is contained in dry milk caps - this is more than in meat. But in dried form, milk mushrooms are not used because of the bitterness of the milky juice.

Lunch real (Lactarius resimus)

In 1942, the microbiologist Boris Vasilkov studied the species of salmon, made a description of them, and called the white salmon a real mushroom because it is considered by the people. Although until this time, pepper pepper was called the present.

It grows in the Volga region, in the Urals, in Siberia. Hat in diameter of 6-25 cm, white or yellowish, slightly sticky. Its shape is changing, and under it are white plates. The edges of the cap can be covered with a fluff, which is the main distinguishing feature of this type.

Leg 3–9 cm high, cylindrical, white or yellowish, empty in the middle. The body of the fungus is white, with a milky juice at the break, which changes its color to yellow-gray when interacting with air. The smell is very similar to the fruit flavor. Crop harvested from July to late September in deciduous and mixed forests near the birch trees.

In Russia, white mushroom is considered the king of mushrooms and is eaten, in Western Europe it is considered inedible. Since the milky juice has a bitter taste, it is soaked before cooking, boiled for a long time, after which it takes on a blue tint.

In folk medicine, real milk is used in the treatment of urolithiasis and renal failure.

Squish yellow (Lactarius scrobiculatus)

The leg grows in height up to 12 cm, with bright yellow grooves, strong, sticky, although inside it is empty. The pulp of the fungus is white, but turns yellow on a break. Thick milky juice is also characteristic. The smell is weak but pleasant. Prefers to grow on limestone soils.

It is eaten after soaking and boiling. For treatment in folk medicine is used in the form of decoction from cholelithiasis.

Important! Mud forms mycorrhiza with birch, thanks to which it receives more water and minerals, and it is from the tree carbohydrates, amino acids and phytohormones.

Peppermint (Lactarius piperatus)

Treats often found mushrooms in a moderate and forest-steppe zone of Russia.

The pepper pepper retains all the general characteristics of the load, but has such features. The cap is 6-18 cm in diameter, creamy-white, sometimes covered with reddish spots.

Under the cap, the plates are narrow, descending along the leg of a white, creamy color. If the plates are damaged, they become covered with yellow-brown spots.

Pepper grows in deciduous or mixed forests from July to October and forms mycosis with oak, birch and spruce. Mushrooms are used for salting, pickling, or in a pounded dried form instead of pepper.

This species is used in folk medicine for the treatment of kidney disease, gallstone disease, tuberculosis, moreover, conjunctivitis. Milky juice remove warts.

Aspen Chest (Lactarius controversus)

All these species, though similar, but also include to conditionally edible mushrooms. And these species in nature do not have poisonous twins.

Forms mycosis only with deciduous trees. Crop harvested from July to September. In cooking, use only for pickling.

Important! Because of the caustic and bitter milky juice, milk mushrooms are rarely affected by pests. To get rid of its bitterness, milk mushrooms need to be soaked: white milk beans - a day, black ones - a few days. Water is changed three times a day and salt is added to it.

Forms mycosis with birch, willow and spruce. Harvesting takes place in July and October. An important feature of this species is that scientists have deduced from it special substances that can increase plant growth.

The closest in terms of similarity is yellow salmon, which is distinguished by bright yellow milky juice. With the purpose of treatment used antibacterial abilities blueing. In cooking, suitable for salting, pickling, frying after pre-boiling.

Oak Wood (Lactarius insulsus)

Bulk oak belongs to the less common species and is also called the oak flax. It combines all the signs of loading and has a red or yellowish-orange color.

The plates under the cap are wide and frequent. The foot is off-white or pink. The pulp of the fungus is dense, cream-colored. The milky juice is white, not plentiful, but acrid, with a cut does not change color.

Like the aspen bark, this species matures underground, therefore it is characterized by the presence of dirt on the cap. Belongs to conditionally edible mushrooms.

In cooking used for pickling. It grows in forests of broad-leaved species and forms mycosis with oak, hornbeam, beech. Harvesting takes place from July to early October.

Milk creaks or violins (Lactarius vellereus)

The name grudge creak received because of the contact with foreign objects, he publishes a characteristic creak. Often it is also called spurge.

Did you know? Biologically active substances, which are contained in sludge, have: diuretic action in the treatment of urolithiasis; antibacterial action in the fight against tuberculosis; immunomodulatory effects; activating effect (activate memory, mental activity, digestion); normalizing action in the treatment of the nervous system, diabetes.
Having understood the types of wetlands, everyone should decide for himself: to continue the traditions of some nations and enjoy their taste or refer the mushrooms to inedible mushrooms, as they consider in the West.
