Where did the mushrooms go? Favorite places to grow porcini mushrooms

The porcini mushroom or boletus is considered the “king” among other types of mushrooms and the most desired prey among lovers of “quiet hunting”. Every mushroom picker wants to know in what places porcini mushrooms grow, as well as when the richest harvest of these fruiting bodies can be collected.

I would like to note that porcini mushrooms are considered very useful and delicious gifts forests. They got their name because of the cap, which does not change color even after processing, including drying. Borovik remains white always, but other types of mushrooms change their shade. In addition, the taste and nutritional qualities of these fruiting bodies are excellent. The mushroom contains vitamin C, B, D, as well as carotene and riboflavin, which strengthens hair, nails and skin. In addition, they contain lecithin, which helps with atherosclerosis and increases hemoglobin.

In what places should you look for porcini mushrooms?

Few people know where porcini mushrooms grow, so in this article we will tell you where these fruiting bodies can be collected. Rainy weather is ideal for collecting boletus mushrooms. Distinctive feature porcini mushroom is its habitat next to fly agaric mushrooms. Which places does he choose? White mushroom and where is the best place to collect it? Note that if there is a lot of horsetail growing in the forest, you will practically not find boletus there.

Every mushroom picker knows that all fruiting bodies love warmth and moisture. If the weather is hot in summer, then they can be found under bushes and in the grass. And in the fall, boletus mushrooms grow in open places, under the rays of the sun.

Experienced mushroom pickers always have an idea in which places to look for porcini mushrooms, because they are not found in all forests. For example, pine forests or birch groves have always been famous for their boletus mushrooms. Here they do not grow alone, but prefer large clusters. If you find one boletus, do not rush to leave, because there are probably more specimens nearby.

What other places do porcini mushrooms like?

The following fact tells us what places the porcini mushroom loves. It must be said that in young forests that are not yet 20 years old, you will not find boletus mushrooms. But pine forests, coniferous and deciduous with a predominance of birches, which are more than 30 years old, are famous for the abundance of this delicacy.

But it is important to remember that you will never find boletus mushrooms in the spring. This mushroom grows in summer and autumn, so its harvesting season begins at the end of June and lasts until the end of October. If the spring was warm enough and rainy, then the porcini mushroom can be found as early as May. But if the autumn turned out to be frosty, then you will not see boletus mushrooms in October. We invite you to watch a video showing in which forest porcini mushrooms grow:

All fruiting bodies grow very quickly under favorable conditions, and the porcini mushroom is no exception. A small boletus weighing only 3 g can increase in weight to 300 g in just 5 days. Large specimens weighing 600 g can often be found. However, a mushroom weighing from 150 to 300 g is considered ideal. Large mushrooms are poorly absorbed by the human body, since they contain too much fiber. Small specimens are digested easier and faster, but they contain less vitamins. Therefore, when to pick porcini mushrooms, decide for yourself.

Favorite places where porcini mushrooms grow

Favorite places for porcini mushrooms to grow are considered to be forests with a predominance of birch and oak, as well as pine forests and spruce forests. Mushroom mycelium penetrates deep into the roots of trees, from which both types of plants receive mutual benefits. However, it is worth noting that the porcini mushroom is a capricious fruiting body. He is too sensitive to changes temperature regime the area where it grows. Humidity levels and other climatic parameters are the main reason for what kind of porcini mushroom harvest you can expect.

If the weather is sunny and warm, the porcini mushroom grows quickly. Full ripening takes several days; after 10-12 days the fruiting body begins to age: unique taste qualities, worminess and accumulation of toxic products increase.

Therefore, in order to catch the boletus collection period, you need to prepare in advance for “ quiet hunt" Everyone simply needs to know the places where porcini mushrooms grow and boldly go in search of them.

In which forests do porcini mushrooms grow (with photo video)

We invite you to look at the photo showing in which forests porcini mushrooms grow. These fruiting bodies are distributed throughout the world. The exception is Australia and the Arctic latitudes. Sometimes this mushroom is found in Kamchatka and Chukotka. Actively found in large colonies in the Siberian taiga. However, the richest harvests can be found in the vast mixed forests of European Russia. The porcini mushroom feels great in places where there are a lot of mosses and lichens. Particularly favorite places for porcini mushrooms are mixed forests with trees such as birch, oak, hornbeam, fir, pine and spruce.

Mushroom pickers distinguish several types of porcini mushroom: dark bronze, birch, pine and spruce. Each porcini mushroom has growing areas characteristic of its species. For example, the dark bronze boletus prefers oak groves, hornbeam or beech forests. The birch white mushroom loves birch groves and forests, especially along forest roads and at the edges. The collection season occurs from the beginning of June and ends at the end of October. The pine species of boletus grows in forests where there are many pine trees, but is rarely found in spruce forests. Spruce porcini mushroom grows in fir and spruce forests. It begins to bear fruit at the end of June and bears fruit until October.

Route with the most mushroom spots

It is better to start the hike from the White Pillars platform. A deciduous forest begins a kilometer west of the platform. Russula, boletus, nigella, and valui are common in these places. 6 km. from the platform, south of the village of Shebantsevo, you need to cross the Kashirskoe highway and go deeper into the forest south of the village of Sonino. This is where you need to be especially careful - this is the kingdom of porcini mushrooms. After picking mushrooms in the forest south of the village of Kurganye, you need to turn northeast in the direction of the village of Shebantsevo. From Shebantsevo you can return along the road to the Belye Stolby platform or take a bus to Domodedovo or Mikhnevo stations.
