Summer is the time for "quiet hunting". Inveterate mushroom pickers and ordinary townspeople, eager to escape to nature, take baskets, get on the trains and go into the forest. I just want not only to wander through the forest, but also to bring home the catch.
Instructions
Step 1
You can ask experienced mushroom pickers to show you their favorite places, but hardly anyone decides to give you the coordinates of the cherished meadows, where you can fill all available baskets and buckets in half an hour. In the best case, they will tell you which station to go to and which way to go, so as not to be left without the gifts of nature at all. The situation is approximately the same on the forums dedicated to the "silent hunt".
Step 2
If you don't have a preference for picking mushrooms, look into a mixed forest of oak, birch, aspen, pine, and spruce. Such places have always been considered mushroom. Here there is a chance to find a porcini mushroom, boletus and boletus, chanterelles, russula, milk mushrooms and other mushrooms. You should not go into the thicket in the hope that the gifts of the forest are growing there, which no one has yet reached. Most likely, nothing will be there - mushrooms prefer more open places.
Step 3
If you went hunting for any particular mushroom, you should know what places it prefers. Chanterelles love lit mixed and deciduous forests. White mushroom most often comes across in oak forests. Milk mushrooms can be found in pine-birch and spruce-birch forests. Gathering for boletus or aspen mushrooms, look for them among the young growth of birches or aspens, respectively. But boletus prefer to grow in young spruce plantings.
Step 4
Honey mushrooms appear closer to autumn. These mushrooms prefer to live in damp deciduous forests. They can be found on tree stumps, in ravines, and sometimes in trees. And waves and mushrooms should be collected in mixed and spruce forests.
Step 5
Berry bushes also have their own preferences. Blueberries love moist or slightly marshy mixed and coniferous forests. At the same time, blueberries growing in a well-lit area are larger, and there are more berries on them. Strawberries prefer sunny meadows in the middle of a mixed or deciduous forest. Raspberries also prefer clearings or clearings. But cranberries at the end of summer should be picked, of course, in damp and wetlands.
