Not everyone knows about it, but mushrooms can be picked not only in summer or autumn, but at any time of the year. Naturally, for each season there is a range of varieties. In fact, seasonality is another basis for classifying mushrooms.
In autumn, the most famous and sought-after mushrooms grow. And just in this season – from the second half of August to the end of October – there is a peak in the collection of wild mushrooms. In some regions, you can go mushroom picking until mid-November.
In these “golden” months, there are growing: autumn mushrooms and flakes (golden, fleecy), boletus and birch boletus, various rows (crowded, poplar, purple, yellow-red, gray and greenfinch) and milk mushrooms (poplar, yellow, white, oak and parchment); boletus mushrooms, oilers and goatlings, flywheels and blackberry, Polish and chestnut mushrooms, volnushki (white and pink) and wild mushrooms, cystoderms and hygrophores (brown, olive-white, spotted, gray, early and late).
Of course, a generous summer is not complete without nutritionally useless mushrooms. For example, inedible: bluish-white entoloms, lobes (curly, pitted, elastic, tubular, inful-like, long-legged); false raincoats and scales (scaly, fiery, alder, tuberculate, destructive). Extremely poisonous mushrooms are also found in forests: toadstools, mountain cobwebs, crushed entoloms, false valui, tiger rows and lepiots (bloated and poisonous).
