Long live the Morels

in Fungi Lovers4 years ago


Warm May Day. Sunny weather. What else is needed to go to the forest for mushrooms. Of course, it is necessary that mushrooms grow in the forest. I got lucky.



Тёплый майский день. Солнечная погода. Что ещё нужно, чтобы отправиться за грибами в лес. Конечно, нужно, чтобы в лесу росли грибы. Мне повезло.




I would have been enough and this one handsome. Luxurious morel, fresh and resilient. He grew up next to a beautiful lake.


Мне было бы достаточно и одного этого красавца. Раскошный сморчок, свежий и упругий. Он рос рядом с красивым озером.



But I went further into the forest. And received his well-deserved reward. Some morels can disguise themselves well. On a sunny day, many fir cones look like morels from afar. And some morels may well pass for something else. Like, for example, these three morels in an old trench.


Но я пошёл дальше в лес. И получил свою заслуженную награду. Некоторые сморчки умеют неплохо маскироваться. В солнечный день многие еловые шишки выглядят как сморчки издалека. А некоторые сморчки вполне могут сойти за что-то другое. Как, например, эти три сморчка в старом окопе.



In search of mushrooms, one must be quite vigilant. In the forest, many different animals live. This pencil-sized viper ... she's still a baby. But this means that somewhere nearby there is a nest and parents can be nearby.


В поисках грибов надо быть достаточно бдительным. В лесу много кто проживает. Эта гадюка толщиной с карандаш...она ещё детёныш. Но это значит, что где-то недалеко есть гнездо и могут рядом находится родители.



I wish you success in your search for mushrooms and only pleasant meetings in the forest. And I may disappear for a few days. Yes, there is no internet in the forest. But there is ... Forest.


Желаю вам успехов в поисках грибов и только приятных встреч в лесу. А я возможно исчезну на несколько дней. Да, в лесу нет интернета. Но там есть... Лес.

I would think it's a poop :D
Maybe I even saw one, just didn't think it is a mushrooms. Do they only grow in spring?

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 24/30)

:-)) Yes, they mainly grow in spring and early summer. But there are their brothers who grow in the fall. They have a different shape. I call them donkey ears :)

they like to grow "on the tail" of the winter snow melted -- when the soil is very wet, and there is a lot of unknown / uncertain about them, which trees their micorise prefer to combine with, etc. seems the things quite differ thats why there is no certainty about the morels.

Okay.. so definitely not around here.
In Poland probably. I know why I didn't see them - the time between winter and spring when snow melts is muddy and not nice. So I don't normally go to the woods :p

I probably will post a few today. got something in my pocket :P

Hah you found a false morel. Some people eat them around here but they contain a toxin that can build up in your system if you eat too many. One or two that are fully cooked should be fine to consume though.

Ha-ha, I already ate it and my head works fine: D
It is a good mushroom, edible and tasty:)

I've never actually eaten one of these are they similar tasting as a morel?

They are relatives, I hardly distinguish between them. Good tasty mushroom.

I see, next time I find one I'll give it a try, very carefully of course lol.

The name of this mushroom is Gyromitra esculenta the toxin it has is monomethylhydrazine that causes dizziness and diarrhea a few hours after eating it. The way to cook these is to parboil them first then cook them fully later on to get rid of the toxin. If eaten raw it can potentially be deadly.

In raw form, I eat only Saffron milk cap, fly agaric, white and chanterelles. The rest of the mushrooms bring to a boil, boil for 5 minutes and then fry. Regarding the toxicity of gyromitra esculenta, there are different opinions in the literature .. Their toxicity depends on the place of growth and local climate. Our morels and lines are not poisonous. We eat them calmly

Yeah people in the state next to me eat the gyromitra as well, the whole problem is when people don't know how to cook them and accidentally get poisoned.

Well what can I say, it's sad.

let the experts correct me, but I think it is not a morel.
Gyromitra esculenta, or Строчок обыкновенный.
Considered to be unedible. @ewkaw, @sketch.and.jam, what will you say?

Если ещё точнее, то строчёк гигантский)) Условно съедобный и очень вкусный. Те, что растут в умеренном климате, как у нас, практически не содержат ядов.

да. я в своем посте тоже написал, что ситуевина со съедобностью хитрая. то же самое у нас - вовсе не то же самое, что где-то еще. потому что грибы. потому что содержат то, из чего выросли!

там вроде температура значение имеет. У нас прохладнее.
Я вот утром сегодня сковороду навернул под яйцом. До сих пор полёт нормальный))
Завтра в Тверь махну. Так что, скорее всего из- сети выпаду, а мож и нет)

It's edible but only if you cook it the right way, otherwise you could get poisoned...
