Is the puffball mushroom edible or not? Fried raincoats

Many mushroom pickers undeservedly bypass these mushrooms, and completely in vain. Young puffballs are very tasty and healthy mushrooms. And most often, they are one of the first to appear in the spring forest, so for lovers of just such gifts, forests will be a pleasant variety in the diet after a long winter, when dishes made from fresh mushrooms collected in the forest are still a rarity on the table.

Puffballs belong to the mushroom family. The fruiting bodies of these mushrooms of different species have a round, pear-shaped shape, most often white. Many of them have a pronounced false leg, and their sizes can be medium or large (like those of giant puffballs).

In young mushrooms, the entire cap is covered with small growths similar to thorns, which fall off over time. The spores of this mushroom ripen inside the fruiting body; when they ripen, a hole opens at the top of the fruiting body through which the spores spread around the fungus. The color of ripe spores can range from green with an olive tint to brown.

Common names for this type of mushroom:

• bee sponge;
• hare potatoes.

And raincoats, in which the spores in the fruiting body are fully ripe, are called:

• flutter;
• puffing;
• dust duster;
• grandfather's tobacco;
• wolf tobacco;
• tobacco mushroom, etc.

Puffballs belong to the mushroom family

Edible types of puffball

The following common groups of mushrooms are classified as puffballs:

• true raincoats;
• bigheads;
• flutters.

Typical raincoats are small in size (height - 5-6 cm, radius - 2.5-3 cm). Their fruiting bodies are closed; in young individuals they are covered with a double shell. The outer layer of the fruit body shell may be covered with cracks, small scales or spines. As the mushroom ages, the outer layer falls off, exposing the inner - brown or ocher - layer, which covers the ripening ones.

Meadow, pear-shaped and pearl raincoats

All of the above types of true puffballs are the most common category 4 mushrooms in the central regions and central zone of our country. They are very similar to each other, and the pearl type is also called real, or edible. It is covered with large spines, which makes it look like a bighead mushroom.

Golovachi

Mushrooms of this genus are similar to puffballs; some mushroom pickers often confuse them. The main differences between bigheads and raincoats:

• larger sizes (at least 7 cm in height and 3.5 cm in radius);
• The fruiting body of these mushrooms, after the spores ripen, ruptures much more strongly than that of ordinary puffballs.

Otherwise, they look about the same as raincoats. The most commonly encountered species of bighead are described below.

Golovachi

Baggy golovach

Common names for this type of raincoat:

• Bladderhead;
• The golovach is round;
• Sac-shaped golovach;
• Rabbit raincoat;
• The golovach is pot-bellied.

The fruiting body of such a bighead can be from 10 to 20 cm in diameter, round in shape, slightly flattened on top, fine-grained inside, tapering downward. Young bigheads are light milky in color as they grow up and become brown with a gray tint. Cracks run along the fruiting body of an adult bighead, and tubercles similar to warts will also appear. Old mushrooms open up at the top, becoming like bowls with torn parts.

This mushroom belongs to the 4th category; only young bigheads are used for food.

Baggy golovach

Golovach oblong (extended raincoat)

Synonyms – bighead marsupial. This species has a fruiting body of a peculiar shape - pin-shaped or club-shaped. The pseudopod is elongated, the apex looks like half a ball. The height of the fruiting body together with the pseudopod is from 8 to 14 cm; in rainy and warm weather it can grow even more. The thickness of the upper part of the pseudopod is about 4 cm, and the lower part is about 6–7 cm. But different sources indicate different values ​​for these indicators.

Young mushrooms are white in color, which over time becomes yellow and then brown. There are spines along the entire surface of the fruiting body. The flesh of young mushrooms is white, but over time it becomes yellow, withers, and then turns brown. The upper spherical part of the fruiting body opens and brown spore powder falls out. The young elongated bighead is quite edible.

Golovach oblong (extended raincoat)

Giant golovach

This mushroom is the largest among all varieties of bigheads. Some of its specimens can grow up to 0.5 m in height, and their weight reaches 18-20 kg. It is this representative of the bighead genus that is considered the most delicious of all representatives of the genus. But, unfortunately, giant bigheads always grow alone and do not appear in one place, and this is considered their main drawback.

This year we didn’t get out to go mushroom picking. My husband is a hunter and the hunting season always coincides with the mushroom season. Guess what is more important to my husband. But we still collected some mushrooms, although we didn’t go anywhere specially.

We have a dacha outside the city, there are both pine and deciduous plantations, we drive past fields, but for some reason there are never mushrooms there.

And so, returning from the dacha, we suddenly see people walking across the field and picking mushrooms. Of course, we were surprised and stopped. People collected champignons and practically didn’t leave any for us, but we still picked mushrooms. And these were raincoats.

For some reason, people didn’t collect them; apparently they didn’t know that it was a puffball mushroom and that it was edible. We are not great experts in mushrooms, but we know some species for sure and collect them with confidence. And we have no doubts about the puffball mushroom - edible or not, we know 100% that it is edible.

And I decided to talk about this mushroom; it’s a pity that people, sometimes out of ignorance, trample them and kick them. And this is not only edible, but also a very tasty and healthy mushroom. By the way, in Italy they consider the puffball to be the most delicious mushroom.

Mushroom raincoat - photo and description

The puffball mushroom belongs to the champignon family.

There are varieties that are round, and there are slightly elongated, pear-shaped ones, as if with a stem, as they also say - “false stem”.

Some raincoats are smooth, and some have small spikes.

We quite rarely come across raincoats and they were always round and smooth.

There is another variety - these are giant raincoats and they weigh up to 10 kg. Our son found such a mushroom the only time, it weighed 1 kg and even then it seemed big to us, but 10 kg is hard to even imagine. Watch the video about the giant raincoat.

Important! This mushroom differs from other species in that it does not have a pronounced stem and cap with plates.

This must be remembered so as not to be confused with a young fly agaric, the spiny puffballs are especially similar, but looking at the photo, it seems to me that the difference is obvious, the fly agaric has a leg and a cap.

Puffball mushroom - edible or not

As I already said, this is an edible mushroom, but it has a feature that important know and collect taking into account these features.

Raincoat ages very quickly and becomes unsuitable for collection, so only young mushrooms should be collected.

The pulp when cut should be pure white, dense, elastic and homogeneous. If the flesh is yellowish or greenish, then such a mushroom is not suitable for collection.

Over time, the insides of the puffball mushroom become flabby, and then generally turn into a powdery spore mass, which is pushed out through the hole formed in the upper part of the mushroom. Because of these features, it is often popularly called “flutter”, “dust tobacco”, “grandfather’s tobacco”. Maybe this influences the opinion that the puffball mushroom is inedible.

There is a false mushroom and it is distinguished by the fact that it has a hard, leathery shell, the flesh of young mushrooms is also white, but it ripens very quickly and becomes dark purple in color, the main distinguishing feature is the smell, in false ones it is unpleasant. The raincoats we collected have a smell very reminiscent of champignons.

Raincoat mushroom - how to cook

The puffball mushroom is a versatile mushroom; it can be fried, boiled, or pickled. For long-term storage, both freezing and drying are suitable. True, it should not be dried in the fresh air, but in an oven or a fruit and vegetable dryer.

You can cook puffball mushroom without pre-treatment (boiling or soaking).

And although it belongs to the fourth category, this does not affect the taste. This is a delicious mushroom, and by the way, the dried puffball mushroom is not inferior in taste and smell to the famous boletus mushroom.

How to prepare: grind dried mushrooms in a coffee grinder, pour into a dry container with a lid.

Add to dishes every day, but in order not to destroy the beneficial effect of the powder, the dishes should not be hot, no more than 50 degrees.

But not only traditional healers know about the beneficial and healing properties of raincoats. Based on this mushroom, various drugs and dietary supplements have been created in pharmacology; this mushroom is also used for the manufacture of cosmetic products, since the puffball mushroom helps improve the structure of the skin and eliminate sagging.

At home, you can make face masks; to do this, cut the mushroom into thin slices, apply to your face and hold for 15-20 minutes.

We collected such wonderful mushrooms, although not much, just a couple of kilograms, maybe a little more, but we also spent very little time on it, about half an hour. But we are happy about that too.

I hope the information was useful and even if you do not dare to collect puffball mushrooms, do not kick or trample them with your feet, remember that there are lovers of these mushrooms, for example, us.

Better yet, collect them in your baskets and use them both for preparing delicious dishes and for your health.

Among the representatives of the genus there are also poisonous specimens that are unsuitable for consumption. These include false species of puffballs, which are very similar to edible ones. To distinguish dangerous fruits from useful ones, you need to know what a puffball mushroom that causes poisoning looks like:

To prevent false puffballs from falling into the basket when picking mushrooms, you need to cut one of them and check the inside. Specimens suitable for eating will have a white and dense body with the smell of fresh mushrooms and without the unpleasant and putrefactive notes that accompany poisonous fruits.

Healing properties

Unusual mushrooms have an excellent taste and saturate the human body with useful substances, and due to the presence of medicinal components, they are used in the fight against many diseases. Therefore, raincoats are used in official and folk medicine for the preparation of medicines.

Smoke composition

Peel the potatoes, cut them and boil them in salted water. After finishing cooking, drain the water.

Rinse the raincoats thoroughly, cut and fry in a frying pan with oil for 30 minutes.

Peel the onion, then cut into small cubes and fry until golden brown. Combine mushrooms and onions, add salt, pepper and simmer for another 20 minutes. Towards the end of frying, add sour cream to the pan, mix everything well and turn off the heat after 2-3 minutes.

The fruit body is pear-shaped or club-shaped. The fruit spherical part in diameter ranges from 20 to 50 mm. The lower cylindrical part, sterile, varies in height from 20 to 60 mm and thickness from 12 to 22 mm. The young mushroom has a spiny-warty, white fruiting body. In mature mushrooms, it becomes brown, buffy and bare. In young fruiting bodies, the glebe is elastic and white. The puffball differs from cap mushrooms in its spherical fruiting body.

The fruit body is covered with a two-layer shell. The outside of the shell is smooth, the inside is leathery. The surface of the fruiting body of the true puffball is covered with small spines, which distinguishes the mushroom from the mushroom, which at a young age have the same white color as the mushroom itself. The spikes come off very easily with the slightest touch.

After the fruiting body dries and ripens, the white Gleba turns into an olive-brown spore powder. The powder comes out through a hole formed in the top of the spherical part of the mushroom.

The edible puffball can be with or without a barely noticeable stem.

Similarity:
The edible puffball resembles in appearance, which has the same pear-shaped and club-shaped fruiting body. But, unlike a real raincoat, a hole does not form on its top, but the entire upper part disintegrates, after disintegration only the sterile leg remains. And all other signs are very similar, Gleba is also dense and white at first. With age, Gleba turns into a dark brown spore powder. Golovach is prepared in the same way as a raincoat.

Notes:
These mushrooms are familiar to everyone, but almost no one collects them. When you knock down the white balls, brown clouds of smoke rise up - the spores of these mushrooms fly away. This species was called raincoat because very often it grows after rains. Until the puffballs turn green inside, these are delicious mushrooms. Italians consider this species to be the most delicious of mushrooms. But when Gleba acquires a greenish color, the mushroom becomes wadded and tasteless, but not poisonous. Therefore, collected mushrooms cannot be stored for a long time; even when picked, they turn green very quickly.

These unique mushrooms belong to the champignon species. All of them have a specific closed fruiting body that is round or pear-shaped. Rainfly is also called hare's potato, duster, tobacco mushroom and many more names. Meanwhile, the edible varieties of this mushroom are very tasty and healthy, as they have a number of medicinal properties, among which the main ones are antitumor and antibacterial.

They love open, well-lit and damp areas, so they can be found in fields, meadows, and sunny clearings of any forest. However, you should know that these mushrooms, as a rule, do not grow in the same places every year. The raincoat collection season varies depending on the type.

Mushroom Raincoat: photo, description

This is a completely unpretentious mushroom with a fruiting body, which, depending on the species, can have a wide variety of sizes and weight from several grams to 2 kilograms. Its surface may be white, grayish-white or yellow, and is sometimes covered with small spines or warts. The white pulp turns yellow over time, and when the spores ripen, it turns into a dark brown powder that is released into the air.

Important: Puffball is edible only when young, when it has a delicate structure, pleasant aroma and high taste.

What does the Raincoat mushroom look like?

In Russia there are several types of edible puffballs, which vary significantly in both shape and size.

Types of Edible Puffballs

Giant mushroom puffball

The giant, gigantic, or bighead puffball looks like a huge ball, and can sometimes also have a slightly flattened shape. Its fruiting bodies, with smooth or flaky skin, can reach more than 50 cm in diameter. Its color ranges from white to yellow depending on the age of the mushroom. Also, as it grows, the color of the pulp changes from white to greenish-brown.

Giant puffball often grows singly. If a group of mushrooms is encountered, it may consist of more than ten mushrooms that form large rings. Fruiting begins in August and ends in early October.

Spiky Raincoat

They are also called pearl, hedgehog or needle-shaped. Their pear-shaped, slightly flattened fruit bodies are white and then light brown in color and miniature in size, reaching from 2 to 6 cm in diameter and up to 5 cm in height. The surface skin of the puffball is covered with small warts; initially it is white, but as it grows it becomes brown.

Young specimens have pleasant white flesh with a pungent taste and delicate aroma. Over time, it turns gray and then purple-brown and is no longer edible. The collection of spiny raincoats begins in July and ends in early September.

Pear-shaped mushroom Puffball

It is named after the shape of its fruiting body, reminiscent of a pear, the thick part of which reaches a diameter of about 7 cm and a length of 4 cm. Young mushrooms have a milky color, which becomes dirty brown over time. The thick skin is initially covered with small spines, which fall off over time, and the surface of the raincoat begins to crack.

The white pulp does not have a very bright taste, but it has a very pleasant mushroom smell. Over time, it becomes brownish-red and then turns into a brown powder. Fruiting lasts from July to early October.

False mushroom Raincoat, photo

In addition to the tasty edible puffballs, there are also false species, and these are often poisonous. Visually, their differences can be identified by looking at a photo depicting them.

Warty puffball

The warty false puffball is a poisonous mushroom with a tuberous fruiting body with a yellowish-gray and then light brown surface with thick and tough skin. Its diameter reaches 5 cm, the stalk is absent. The aroma of false puffball combines the aroma of young raw potatoes and herbs. These mushrooms appear at the end of May, their fruiting lasts until the beginning of October.

Common puffball

The common or orange false puffball with a fruiting body about 6 cm in diameter has a tuberous shape, a smooth and thick shell of a dirty yellow or brown color with small scales in the upper half of the mushroom. In its bare lower part there are characteristic folds. When ripe, the white pulp becomes almost black, speckled with white fibers.

Although this false puffball is considered inedible, it has an aroma and taste somewhat reminiscent of truffles; they are added in small quantities (no more than two or three cloves) to various mushroom dishes. The collection period for common puffballs begins in August and ends in September.

Spotted Puffball Mushroom

Spotted, panther, or leopard's scleroderma (Scleroderma areolatum) is characterized by a spherical or pear-shaped shape. The diameter of the fruiting body ranges from 1 to 5 cm. The smooth, very thin skin has a white or cream color; as it grows, it changes to brownish-yellow. Small scales with peculiar rims are scattered on its surface; it is this structure that creates the leopard pattern.

The white flesh of young mushrooms changes over time to greenish-brown or dark purple with white veins. The smell is weak, sweet. The spotted puffball has no legs. This type of mushroom bears fruit from August to early September.
