Mushrooms quite useful and nutritious product which on nutrition value is equated to meat. But they require to themselves a certain attention and the correct processing. The important procedure is their cleaning.
Quickly to clean mushrooms, it is necessary in the forest, at their collecting to delete the places rumpled and struck with worms and insects, to clean them from leaves, needles. You will spend a little bigger time for collecting, but protect yourself from additional cleaning of the house.
In kitchen sort mushrooms on grades and by a method of their processing, throw out those which edibility you doubt. Spread out those which you plan to dry, fry, cook in different small groups. It is necessary to know that mushrooms are pretty fast the spoiling product therefore they need to be prepared as it is possible rather, better within 3-4 hours.
Also pay attention that some species of mushrooms contain quickly oxidized substances because of which at long stay in the warm room, mushrooms darken and take an unattractive form (for example, krasnogolovik). Therefore it is better to put a basket with "production" in well blown room or at once to lower mushrooms in a little added some salt cool water (instead of salt it is possible to add citric acid). After that by means of a knife once again remove all darkened parts and wormholes, it is necessary to remember that mushrooms become wormy pretty fast, also clean legs the scraping movements. At russulas and slippery jacks remove a thin skin from a hat, it cleans up quite easily. At the mushrooms having a tubular hat it is better to remove this its part. After mushrooms touched it is necessary to wash out them, but it is necessary to do it quickly. It is the best of all to use for this purpose a colander, lay out a product in it and substitute a baking plate a stream of cold water. Leave mushrooms so for some time that excess water flew down, and cut for further preparation. Don't wash out those mushrooms which you will dry, just shake from them any brush all garbage and cut on a part of the necessary size.
