Leg (height 5-15 cm): smooth or with a slight white bloom, slightly lighter in color than the cap.

As you can see in the photo of the smoky talker, the stem of the mushroom is very dense, usually has a strong thickening almost at the very base.

In young mushrooms it is filled with a fibrous substance, while in old ones it is hollow.

Records: usually dirty or light yellow, thin and frequent. They do not adhere to the stem and are easily separated from the cap.

Pulp: dense white color, which does not change on the cut and when interacting with air. The taste can be both sour and very sweet or spicy. And the smell may resemble the acrid smell of rot or the aroma of flowers or fruits.

Doubles: entoloma tin(Entoloma sinuatum), but she has an ocher-colored hat and light pink plates.

When growing: from early August to mid-November in temperate countries of the Northern Hemisphere.

Where can I find: in mixed or coniferous forests. Often grows on rotten leaves and branches, not far from firs and birches, forms "witch circles".

Eating: young mushrooms are consumed after preliminary boiling (for about 20 minutes). Insufficient heat treatment can cause eating disorder medium severity. Under no circumstances should it be eaten raw. The talker is considered of little value, as it boils down a lot.

Application in traditional medicine: folk healers do not use. For official medicine, the antibiotic nebularin is produced from mushrooms of this species.

Edible mushroom, fragrant talker (Clitocybe odora)

Other names: anise talker, odorous talker.

Hat (diameter 4-9 cm): pale blue, smooth, with a small tubercle. In young mushrooms, it is slightly convex, with time it becomes almost prostrate or slightly depressed.

The leg of the fragrant talker (height 3-7 cm): gray or brownish, may be with a greenish tint. Cylindrical in shape, expanding towards the base, where a slight pubescence is noticeable.

Anise talker also called fragrant govorushka or fragrant govorushka. It occurs in spruce and spruce-mixed forests from late July to late October singly and in groups.

The cap, 4-6 cm in diameter, first has a convex, slightly tuberculate shape with a curved wavy edge, then becomes a slightly depressed shape with a small tubercle in the center, sometimes with a raised edge. The surface is smooth, pale green-blue, sometimes with a brown center. The plates are medium, wide, descending, having a pale greenish color. The leg is about 4 cm long and about half a centimeter in diameter, has a cylindrical shape slightly expanded towards the base and pubescent downwards. The color of the legs is grayish with a yellowish-green tint, brownish below. The pulp is thin, densely structured, watery, white-greenish, with strong smell anise.

The mushroom is edible of medium quality, but not everyone will like it because of the smell of anise. Requires pre-boiling for 15 minutes. The smell after cooking is reduced. You can fry, cook soups, salt and marinate. For salting and pickling, young mushrooms are selected, which have a more fleshy structure.

It is difficult to confuse the anise talker with godfather either because of the peculiar smell and characteristic coloring. Field champignon has a similar smell, but this is a completely different type of mushroom. By appearance similar to an edible fragrant talker, from which it differs in color.

It has no poisonous or inedible twins. The fungus is difficult to confuse with other species, as it is distinguished by a pungent smell, late appearance, easily crushed plates in mature specimens.

The smoky talker belongs to the fourth category of mushrooms. Without pre-treatment, which consists in boiling for half an hour, it can cause food poisoning.

Previously, the mushroom was unconditionally edible, now views on its edibility have changed. The fact is that in some people, when consumed (especially young specimens), it can cause indigestion, increased sweating, and breathing difficulties. Strongly accumulates salts of heavy metals. In any case, it requires mandatory pre-boiling and should not be abused.

Subject to all culinary standards, the mushroom becomes absolutely harmless and can be salted and pickled. In folk medicine have long been known healing properties talker, the tissues of which contain a natural antibiotic.

The convex cap of the mushroom eventually becomes funnel-shaped, with thin, upturned edges. As a rule, the diameter of the cap of a mature mushroom does not exceed 13–15 cm, but there are also giants with caps up to 30 cm or more in diameter. It was they who gave the name to this variety of fungus. The surface of the cap is matte, silky to the touch, depending on the habitat it can be covered with small scales.

Use. Previously, the red-brown talker and the water-spotted talker were considered edible, but later muscarine was found in them. Information in the literature about their edibility is very contradictory, moreover, their taste qualities are mediocre, and therefore we do not recommend collecting these mushrooms.

Look at the photos of talker mushrooms, the description of which is presented on this page:

Mushroom talker is a representative of the genus hat. It is known among mushroom pickers for its variety of species - more than 250. The mushroom can be eaten, but there are also deadly poisonous species. Therefore, the collection of this mushroom must be taken very responsibly.

Mushroom talker is a representative of the hat genus

The mushroom can be of different colors. The cap of a young mushroom looks like a hemisphere. After that, it spoils the shape and often seems to be pressed in. The fleshy and large hat reaches a diameter of at least ten centimeters. The most common color of the mushroom is light gray with a yellowish tinge and lightens towards the edges. The cap of this mushroom is ash-colored with a yellow tinge. The color is uneven - closer to the edge it brightens. However, it can also be pinkish-brown, ocher with various shades.

In normal weather, the mushroom is dry and smooth. Sometimes you can find on the surface of the cap the remnants of mycelium, which is confused with mold. The leg differs in thickness, and looks like a mace up to 7-8 cm high. fresh mushroom has white and firm flesh. The spore powder is usually white or creamy white, sometimes powdery.

Features of talker mushrooms (video)

Where do talker mushrooms grow

Talkers are found in areas with a temperate climate. Mushrooms are not whimsical to the areola of growth. They can easily be found in coniferous and mixed forests, on the edges, fields or meadows of France, European Russia, Poland, Spain and other European countries. They are also known to be found in parts of Asia and the Middle American continent. They prefer to grow in groups and form witch rings - these are kind of circles on the ground. In the old days, such patterns were tied to the machinations of evil spirits. For a very long time it was believed that witches or other evil spirits used these places at night for round dances and games.

Edible and conditionally edible talker mushrooms

Edible mushrooms contain the optimal ratio of vegetable protein, vitamins, fiber and amino acids, which prevents the occurrence of various diseases. Also, these mushrooms can reduce cholesterol plaques in the blood.

Talker gray

Considered conditionally edible. However, some scientists categorically classify it as poisonous. The hat has smoky look and reaches a diameter of up to 15 cm. The color may vary depending on weather conditions and become even orange-brown. Eating can cause poisoning due to the presence of a toxin - nebularin. White dense pulp changes color when cut. Harvest occurs at the end of August and lasts until the end of December. Basically, this species grows in long rows in the territories of the northern hemisphere in forests of any type.

Giant talker

It is a conditionally edible variety of category 4. As a rule, this species is collected exclusively for salting. Before cooking, even before drying, be sure to boil for 30-40 minutes. This species also has the names huge leusopaxillus, giant pig, giant white pig. It grows in forests of mixed, deciduous and coniferous types. It can often be found on the edges of the Caucasus. Giant talkers grow in large groups. Harvest can be harvested until October. It is possible to collect these mushrooms from August to October.

The cap has a yellowish or creamy hue, sometimes up to 30 cm in diameter. The flesh is tasteless and smells like flour. It contains an antibiotic and clitobicins, so this species is considered conditionally edible. The antibiotic is capable of destroying tuberculosis infection, and clitobicin kills microbes.

These mushrooms are often used in traditional medicine to eliminate problems with respiratory tract and lowering blood cholesterol. It is also often used as an antiseptic.

Anise talker

Also known as fragrant or fragrant. This species grows mainly in spruce forests and mixed forests, where the Christmas tree predominates. Harvesting can start from July. The hat reaches up to 6 cm and has a convex shape with a wavy rim. The color of the surface is light green with a blue tint. Another feature of the species is the length (up to 4 cm) and width (up to 1 cm) of the legs. Towards the base, the leg expands slightly and acquires a brownish tint. The pulp of the mushroom is distinguished by its strong aniseed smell and has a slightly greenish color. The conceived aroma can be easily felt even without bending down to the ground.

The gift of the forest is eaten only after boiling. After it can be fried, added to pies or salted. It is better to choose young mushrooms with fleshy pulp.

This type of talker can be distinguished due to the specific smell and color. Field champignon has a very similar smell, but it is very difficult to confuse it by color.

Poisonous and inedible talker mushrooms

First of all, we must remember that among the whole variety of talkers, there are poisonous and not suitable for the human body. Like other mushrooms, talkers absorb toxins and heavy metals. Do not collect them near industrial enterprises and roads.

Pale-colored talker

An inedible mushroom, and some scientists consider it completely poisonous. The young mushroom has an almost flat cap. However, with age, it changes to the shape of a funnel with curved edges and many pits on the surface. The pulp has grey colour and watery texture. The leg of this species is distinguished by its edging and expands towards the base. This species is practically odorless; when dried, it emits the smell of mustiness and rot.

Pale-colored talker grows from Primorsky Krai to the European part of Russia. Most mushrooms of this species grow in the fallen leaves of birch or oak, although they can also be found in mixed forests. You can distinguish a pale-colored talker by growth alone, unlike other representatives of the genus, which grow massively in groups.

Chalice-shaped talker

This type of talker has several names: goblet talkers, translucent talkers or diatreta talkers. A hat in the form of a bowl or a deep funnel with a diameter of up to 8 cm has a gray-brown color. In good dry weather, the surface of the cap is silky, and in wet weather it becomes hygrofan. Harvest and collection falls on the first decades of August and lasts until early October.

They grow in coniferous and mixed forests.. They are best collected on bedding and rotting wood, mostly in groups. It is very rare to find single individuals.

How to distinguish false talkers from true ones

In a variety of types of talkers, it is very difficult to choose edible ones. However, a universal rule of difference has not yet been invented. The main rule is an excellent knowledge of the characteristics and differences between the types of talkers. It is known that among fungi in wild nature Poisonous ones are often found, visually almost indistinguishable from those suitable for human consumption. The main factors are smell and color. Mealy and nice smell more often belongs to poisonous mushrooms.

Some types of talkers are distinguished by pink plates and spores, as well as the absence of circles on the hat, like in edible mushrooms. Only experienced mushroom pickers can distinguish edible, conditionally edible from poisonous and inedible

Methods for preparing talkers

In cooking, only hats are used, the legs have no taste. Young mushrooms have a delicate fruity aroma, which is lost with age. Talkers can be added to all traditional dishes boiled, fried, pickled and dried. The aroma is perfectly revealed in first courses and sauces. The specific enzyme of mushrooms in its raw form gives the dishes a not very pleasant bitter taste.

Salad with talkers

Dice boiled potatoes, beets, and carrots. fresh onion cut into half rings and add to vegetables. Then mix all the products with pickled mushrooms and canned peas. Salt to taste, add a couple of drops of lemon juice or unrefined sunflower oil.

Inedible talkers (video)

marinade salad

Mix crispy pickled cucumbers with coarsely chopped pickled talkers. Cool the boiled potatoes and cut into cubes and add to the rest of the ingredients.

Despite the variety of types of govorushka, this mushroom has taken its rightful place at Russian feasts. The mushroom requires care when harvesting and heat treatment before eating.
