From the beginning of summer the mushroom pickers direct to the forest and begin "silent hunting". One of favourite mushrooms are chanterelles, they appear at the very beginning of summer and almost never are worm-eaten. Fried chanterelles are very tasty, but they can also be cooked, salted, pickled, dried.
To find chanterelles, it is necessary to go to the birch or mixed forests, however they meet and in coniferous pine forests. Chanterelle as follows looks: a mushroom of yellow color, with the same pulp, a lamellar hat with wavy edges. Plates go down to a leg which length doesn't exceed 6 cm. Young people have a flat hat, at adults mushrooms – funneled. There is also a false chanterelle, at it a hat of more correct rounded shape, orange-red color is a poisonous fungus which needs to be avoided. Also happen still chanterelle gray and chanterelle trubkovidny though they are conditionally edible – better them not to collect.
Chanterelle grows at families therefore, having found one mushroom, accurately sit down and look round. Raise a moss, dry leaves, needles, and you almost for certain will find some more mushrooms. You don't hurry to cut off a mushroom at once, it is better to take chanterelles from the earth together with a root – so the mycelium will be preserved, and you will be able to return on this place next year. These mushrooms practically never are worm-eaten therefore you can not check them for presence of wreckers.
Chanterelles don't dry during a summer heat and always look juicy, don't decay. For lack of rains they just stop growth. As soon as moisture appears again, they continue to grow therefore in lowlands and marshy places it is possible to meet large and fleshy copies, and on heights – small. Chanterelle is very convenient for collecting also because she only of all mushrooms isn't afraid of a pridavlivaniye. Therefore you can safely put chanterelles in a big bag, even the lowermost mushrooms will reach the hostess's knife safe and sound. Chanterelles shouldn't be cleaned unlike many other mushrooms. Enough they are good to wash out, remove the stuck branches and leaves – and to put on use. The economy of chanterelle most often fries, so their aroma keeps better.
