Where there are a lot of mushrooms in Leningrad. "Silent hunting": where to look for mushrooms in the Lomonosovsky district? Specific habitats of forest gifts

mushroom season already in full swing, which means it's time to get out into nature. The editors of the site have compiled a list of must-see places depending on which mushrooms you prefer.

Mushroom memo:
1. The first rule of the mushroom picker: if in doubt, don't take it. And besides, don't try!
2. You need to go for mushrooms in the morning: while dew glistens on hats, it will be easier to find mushrooms.
3. Shoes and clothes should be comfortable and closed as much as possible, so you protect yourself from sharp knots and insects.
4. Do not forget to take a container of water, a knife and a map (or better, a navigator) with you.
5. Get a “lifesaver” that will be convenient to lift moss, leaves and sticks (if you don’t want to bend over every time), it is desirable that there is a “slingshot” at the end of the stick.
6. To collect mushrooms, it will be more convenient to get a basket or basket. So the mushrooms will last longer.
7. Do not use bags, bags and backpacks to collect mushrooms. The exception, perhaps, is chanterelles. They do not break or crumble during transportation.
8. It is advisable to fold tubular mushrooms with the cap up, small ones - whole, cut off the stem of large ones.
9. You can not take overripe old mushrooms. They can accumulate toxic and harmful substances.
10. Almost all mushrooms tend to grow in families. Found one - look for another nearby.
11. For a long time mushrooms can not be stored (no more than 2-3 hours). Therefore, having come from the forest, you should immediately sort them out and begin processing. Rapid spoilage of mushrooms is associated with a high moisture content and, accordingly, in rainy weather mushrooms will spoil faster.

12. You can store raw mushrooms in the refrigerator for several hours. In the absence of a refrigerator, you can fold the mushrooms in one layer and place in a cool place.
13. If it is not possible to sort out the mushrooms immediately, you should douse them with salted boiling water: then they will not deteriorate during the day.
14. All mushrooms, in particular lamellar and russula, should be cut only with a stem to make sure that there is no membranous ring characteristic of pale grebe.
15. Always carefully check your "catch", remember: even a small part of the pale grebe is enough to send a person on his last journey.
16. For drying, salting and pickling, you need to take whole and strong mushrooms.
17. Never. Not. Try. Mushrooms. On the. Taste. Even if they smell good.
18. Conditionally edible mushrooms (they are used for salting) should be immediately placed in a saucepan and poured cold water in order to remove bitterness and milky juice.
19. Do not use galvanized and aluminum utensils for salting and marinating.
20. It is undesirable to go for mushrooms alone, in a large company there is less risk of getting lost. If you are walking alone, then warn relatives and friends, indicating the approximate route and how far you are leaving.

Mushrooms do not lose popularity. For many, mushroom hunting is a way to spend a weekend. In ancient times, there were many proverbs and sayings related to mushrooms in Russia:

“Whoever gets up earlier - he will find the strong men, who oversleep the sunrise - he will find the rotten ones”, “If you pick mushrooms - look at the oaks. In order not to suddenly get lost, know where the north is, where the south is. The rules, tested for centuries, are still observed by connoisseurs of "quiet hunting".

But the main thing is to choose the right season. It starts in July and continues until October. Avid hunters roam the forests Leningrad region and come back with full baskets. Mushroom pickers believe that prey can be found in any forest, but the right places are kept secret. Let's try to reveal the routes of lovers of "silent hunting".

Mushroom places in the Leningrad region: where to go on a weekend

The list of mushroom places is based on data from several previous years. In terms of mushroom harvest, year after year does not fall, and the portal Kolesa.Ru does not have the ability to determine with absolute accuracy what the situation is in all the indicated places on this moment. Have a good hunting!

New Devyatkino

Briefly about the place. The forest in the Novy Devyatkino area is perhaps the closest mushroom place to the city. Knowledgeable people they walk to it from the metro, and the journey takes them no more than 10 minutes ...

District: Vsevolozhsky.

Distance from the city*: about 4 km from the Ring Road.

How to get there: exit from the ring road to Toksovskoye highway, then to Novy Devyatkino.

The probability of getting into a traffic jam on the road: traffic jams in this direction usually occur in the evenings, and we all know that at this time real mushroom pickers are already sorting out and cleaning the harvested crops at home.

District: Vsevolozhsky.

Sinyavino

District: Kirovsky.

Distance from the city*: about 60 km.

Mushroom season in the forests near St. Petersburg the time is considered from August to November, but edible mushrooms can be found in the Leningrad region almost all year round. Focus on the mushroom picker calendar below - it covers the most popular of more than 200 species of edible mushrooms growing in the forests of the Leningrad Region.

It is difficult to find an occupation more contemplative and bringing happiness than the summer mushroom picking. Once you take a walk through the woods with a basket, you will be drawn to this exciting activity again and again. Can't believe it? And you try it, in the early summer morning, when the sun's rays make their way through the mighty branches of trees, and the air is still full of night coolness ...

These mysterious mushrooms...

Mushrooms are one of the most interesting. They combine both signs of plants and animals. Incredibly diverse in shape and coloring, they live in the most unexpected corners of our planet. Known specimens settled on the seabed.

And again conspiracy theorists fantasized ...

Since ancient times, people have been studying the properties of mushrooms. To this day, these amazing organisms are not fully understood. There are two inexplicable but proven facts about mushrooms:

1. Having incredible energy. Science knows mushrooms that can crack asphalt, absorb radiation and change their shape in a very short period of time.
2. Influence on people's minds. There are no other plants in nature that can change the biochemistry of the brain so much. That is, to have a pronounced psychedelic effect.

From this follows an interesting hypothesis about the extraterrestrial origin of the organisms in question.

What are mushrooms?

Living in the forest, growing on trees and even entering into a close symbiosis with humans. We are also interested in those specimens that grow in the forest.

Scientists divide forest mushrooms into edible, conditionally edible and poisonous. Mushrooms are recognized as edible (and very tasty) gifts of the forest, polish mushrooms, boletus, chanterelles, mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. In the season of mushrooms, a real hunt goes after them!

Conditionally edible mushrooms can also be eaten. Just to begin with, they need to be brought to the correct condition. That is, in a certain way, soak, evaporate, carry out cunning manipulations, and only then eat. Black milk mushrooms belong to this class of mushrooms.

But it’s better not to joke with poisonous mushrooms ... Why - read on.

In what cases is it better to just admire the gift of the forest?

When there is even the slightest suspicion of the edibility of the mushroom.

Most of the Leningrad region is a satanic mushroom and a red fly agaric. And also - all the unfamiliar and dubious gifts of the forest. This is the rule of the wise mushroom picker. Even the most experienced specialist will not take an incomprehensible mushroom into his basket.

Finally, I would like to reassure the reader: only poisoning with the well-known pale grebe leads to a fatal outcome. In all other cases, people survive (the consequences depend on how strong the liver and kidneys are). Another thing is that such experiments are obviously meaningless. Next, we will talk about edible and useful mushrooms Leningrad region, photo attached.

Mushroom season is truly a wonderful time!

Spring nature is fascinating: insects frolic in the air, streams flow, and the sky in the evenings becomes starry and alluring.

The first mushrooms of the Leningrad region (the photo of the assorted will follow the cute fly agaric) appear at the end of April. And it is, of course, morels. They do not differ in their beautiful appearance, but only young mushrooms can compete with them in terms of taste. The map of mushroom places will tell you more about their favorite places.

Next comes the season of summer collection of forest gifts. In June, fresh boletus and boletus appear. They love to grow in birch groves. Oilers almost always live in families: if you find one pretty oily mushroom, then you should carefully study the area around. The second decade of June gives mushroom pickers white picks.

July is another mushroom month. Mushrooms, chanterelles and mushrooms appear in the forests. And from the middle of the month, the earth is decorated with multi-colored russula hats. These mouth-watering mushrooms amaze with their richest color palette ...

August is traditionally recognized as the most mushroom month. The number of white mushrooms, aspen mushrooms, russula and chanterelles is increasing. Specifically, mushrooms and belushki are considered August mushrooms. The first appear at the beginning of the month, the second - closer to its end. Poisonous mushrooms of the Leningrad region (fly agaric and pale grebes) are also actively growing in last month summer. They catch the eye with their bright red hats with white pimples. Amanitas grow in forest lowlands and along roadsides.

The autumn mushroom season in the Leningrad region is September and the first two weeks of October. Traditionally summer mushrooms are gradually declining. In the forests, more and more often there are various rows - belushki, jaundices and greenfinches. Also, on old stumps and next to majestic trees, you can meet friendly families of honey mushrooms. The season ends with the onset of the first frosts and a drop in temperature to 5 degrees with a plus sign.

Spring trip for mushrooms

Places in the Leningrad region, let's start with the habitat of the first spring mushroom - morel. To be more precise - morel conical. This mushroom grows in coniferous and deciduous forests Leningrad region, it can be found on the site of clearings, fires and burnt forests. Having found one conical morel, in 99% of cases you can find the whole family.

Most often, the mushroom grows in the southern part of the region, namely, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe village of Tosno. The map of mushroom places in the Leningrad region, located further, confirms this. At the end of April, in addition to a basket of morels, you can also collect birch sap. This wonderful spring drink restores strength and gives a charge of vivacity.

Mushrooms are unique organisms. And the process of collecting them is addictive. It is worth remembering: interesting mushrooms love logical search and extraordinary solutions. He who seeks will always find. Good luck!

In late summer and early autumn, avid mushroom pickers simply cannot sit still. Many specialists have their secret places ..

As soon as the first mushrooms appear, lovers of "silent hunting" rush into the forest. Mushroom locations are to a mushroom picker what a secret trick is to an illusionist. But we will go against the rules and slightly reveal the secret places that are in close proximity to St. Petersburg.

Where to collect chanterelles?

Chanterelles, beloved by all, can be found already in June, but the bulk of red-haired beauties grows up in July-August. Mushroom pickers respect chanterelles not only for their beautiful appearance and taste qualities, but also for unpretentiousness. Unlike many other mushrooms, they do not rot in the rain, and do not dry out in the heat.

It is better to look for chanterelles in birch and mixed forests. In the Leningrad region, you can go to the Priozersky district for chanterelles. In the forests between the villages of Borisov and Michurinskoe, there are many chanterelles and black mushrooms. You can also find white, boletus and boletus. You can get to this place by bus from Sosnovo.

In addition, the islands near the village of Kuznechnoye are famous for a large number of chanterelles. It is difficult to get there, but real mushroom pickers will appreciate the charm of these places. You can also hunt red babies near the village of Losevo, not far from the Vuoksa River.

Where to collect porcini mushrooms, boletus and boletus?

The most respected and expensive among Russian forest gifts are porcini mushrooms, their second name is mushrooms. They can be found in pine forests in bright clearings, forest edges. There are many white mushrooms in young pine forests. Forest kings are famous for their size - caps of porcini mushrooms can reach 50 centimeters in diameter, and their legs grow up to 25 centimeters.

From August to September you can go to places near Vyborg. At this time, it becomes dry in the forests, and white, boletus, boletus begin to appear with a vengeance. You can collect whites in various directions of the Leningrad region, for example, near the village of Sinyavino or near Gavrilovo.

The end of August and the beginning of September is the ideal time for picking porcini mushrooms, boletus and aspen mushrooms. If it has already begun to rain, it is better to look for these mushrooms on the hillocks. You can go in the direction of Priozersk, look for your favorite places near Sosnovo and Losevo. According to experts, ideal noble mushrooms grow in the vicinity of the village of Yagodnoye - after turning to Kamenka from the Vyborg highway, you can safely go to the woods.

Beware of fakes!

Of particular danger, both for beginners and experienced mushroom pickers, are false mushrooms. Visually, they look like edible brothers, but sometimes they can cost a mushroom picker his life. Before you go on a "silent hunt", you should study the main differences between real forest gifts and fake ones.

False chanterelles are always easy to distinguish by their bright orange color. In addition, the edges of the "wrong" mushrooms are more even, they also differ in size - the caps of the "fakes" are much larger in diameter. Records false chanterelle very thin, located more often and never pass to the legs.

false mushrooms from the real ones can be distinguished by looking under the hat. If there is a membranous skirt, then it is better to leave such a fungus in the forest. There is even a rhyme that will help distinguish the "fake" honey agaric:

At the edible honey agaric
Film ring on leg.
And the false ones have honey mushrooms
Legs bare to toe.

Sometimes even avid mushroom pickers can inadvertently put a "fake" in their basket. The main thing is to remember the invariable rule that must be used when going to the forest: "If you're not sure - don't take it." Other than that, happy hunting!
