I would like to apologize for the belated post # fungifriday, but yesterday when I sat down to write a post, the electricity was cut off (some kind of breakdown), and turned on today ...
So today I'm going to talk about harvesting one of the most delicious tinder fungus, Cerioporus Squamosus, this spring!
For the first time this year, I encountered this mushroom at the beginning of April, when I was going to work ...
These barrels grew right along the road,
and naturally there was no point in harvesting (
I photographed this miracle, and decided to watch their growth, as I pass this place almost every day!
But the next day, someone tore them off (
I don't know who could have ripped them off,
given the place of their growth ...
Perhaps they were children who knocked them down with sticks or kicks!
But realizing that the season of Cerioporus Squamosus had begun, I went to the city park to check for them.
And my first find was very big!
A whole family of this tinder fungus, located at the roots of one old, semi-rotten tree ...
A couple of days later, next to that tree,
I found a fallen tree on which the mushrooms were simply incredible!
The size just amazed me, since a couple of days ago the tree showed no signs of fruiting ...
After about a week, I went to the same place again
and my expectations were rewarded again!
About 50 young, juicy mushrooms were waiting for me on a half-littered tree,
some specimens were very small, while others were very large ...
In general, I cut about 15 kilograms of pulp that day!
All mushrooms turned out to be very young and with tender pulp!
Having brought all these riches home, the hardest and tedious part lies ahead, this is their processing)
First, cut off the leg! The tougher it is, the more we cut it off ... I was lucky because the mushrooms are very young)
Then we remove the skin (not necessary, but I like it more when there is only white flesh)
When the mushroom is young, the skin is removed very easily, in almost one motion ...
Then we remove the hymenophore with a knife,
and again, when the mushroom is young, it is very easy!
When all that remains is the white, homogeneous flesh of the mushroom, I proceed to slicing ...
First, I cut the mushrooms into strips,
and then convenient for consumption - rectangles!
After that I pour it all into a saucepan, and boil for 10 - 15 minutes ...
After draining the water, I cook like any other mushroom: fry, steam, make mushroom cutlets, salt and cook soups!
I have more than 200 photos, only of this tinder fungus from spring (not counting a bunch of other types of mushrooms, from this fruitful spring), so I only plan to expand the stories about these wonderful Polypores ...
In the future, I plan to tell you more about the methods of preparing this mushroom and making medicinal tinctures and ointments!
So I beg you to support this post! And let me know what you are interested in learning about these mushrooms !!!
And that's all for today, I hope you enjoyed your time in my mushroom kingdom, see you soon!
Take care of yourself and your loved ones and see you soon!
really great mushrooms in these trees, interesting place to grow;)
This is their habitat, they help old trees to decompose!
I like to bread and deep fry these then dip them in sauce.
I will keep in mind and try to cook it like that ...
Moreover, I froze them, a pretty decent amount)
lovely! thats my fave shrooom. π
CoolllΔ posstt;))
