Boletus platform on the Kazan railway. Mushroom places on the Kyiv direction. Where to pick mushrooms in the Moscow region - Leningrad direction

Mid-summer and autumn are the favorite time of mushroom pickers, as you can safely go “hunting”, armed with knives and baskets. Where are the most mushroom places in the Moscow region, let's find out. First, let's decide where and how to collect mushrooms.

When to go mushroom hunting

The mushroom season in the Moscow region can be considered open already in mid-summer. It lasts until mid-October. In general, mushrooms can be found from the beginning of April, however, the greater variety is from July. At this time, near Moscow, mushroom pickers collect many different mushrooms. Towards the end of August, the forests abound with boletuses, chanterelles, honey mushrooms and saffron milk caps. Late autumn is famous for late russula and autumn honey mushrooms.

Where to look for mushrooms

Experienced mushroom pickers know that mushrooms cannot be found in tall grass and dense thickets. It is simply useless to look for them there. Their habitats are considered mixed and coniferous forests. Particular attention should be paid to birch, oak, aspen, spruce and pine trees. Mushrooms are also often found on the edges of forest paths.

Experienced mushroom pickers say that you need to pick mushrooms at least 50 km from Moscow. Mushrooms tend to accumulate heavy metals. This should be taken into account when mushroom “hunting” - avoid places along roads and highways, as well as near polluting objects.

How to pick mushrooms

Mushroom “hunting” begins early in the morning, at 5-6 o’clock. It is also worth remembering that mushrooms almost always grow in groups, so if you find mushrooms in one place, be sure to look nearby for more. When searching, take your time; mushrooms are usually collected by calmly walking and carefully peering into the grass near the trees.

A successful find is not plucked, but cut off with a sharp short knife. Check the mushrooms immediately; if they are wormy, you cannot take them, it is better to leave them in the forest.

What you need for mushroom “hunting”

An important aspect of a successful “hunt” is the equipment of a mushroom picker. What should it include:

comfortable clothes and shoes;
plastic bucket;
mushroom knife;
a stick to push apart the grass in search of mushrooms;
first aid kit;
drinking water;
snack sandwiches;
navigator;
phone with full charge.

The most mushroom places in the Moscow region

The peculiarity of the mushroom “hunt” is that the mushroom places change every year. If last year you found a mushroom place in the forest, this does not mean at all that this year you will find them in the same place again. However, in the Moscow region there are special mushroom places where they are found year after year.

Any day now, mushroom hunting will begin in the Moscow region. Experienced mushroom pickers and amateurs are already preparing baskets. And if the first ones are well aware of all the mushroom routes, then the second ones will have to search a little. Where to go for mushroom pickers for a “quiet hunt” and where you can find entire glades of mushrooms, read the material on the portal website.

This year's mushroom season may start later than usual due to cool weather. But, as in previous years, it will start in August and will last until the end of September, when late russula and autumn honey mushrooms appear.

The most popular mushroom spots are patrolled by rescuers and foresters. Such rounds will be carried out in 36 places every day. Despite the measures taken, citizens are asked to remain vigilant, do not go deep into the forest and take a mobile phone with them.

When and where to collect

Source: Photobank of the Moscow region, Vladimir Lebedev

It is best to go for mushrooms early in the morning. When there is still no sunlight, the mushroom is more visible - the cap, damp with dew, glistens among the grass and is noticeable from afar. They love mixed and coniferous forests and grow along paths, on lawns and forest edges.

Mushrooms can only be collected in the forest. It is strongly recommended not to do this near roads, factories or railway tracks, since mushrooms absorb toxic substances very well. It is better to choose an area 50 km away from Moscow and located outside the Moscow Big Ring.

Rules for collecting mushrooms

Source: Photobank of the Moscow region, Vladimir Lebedev

There is still no consensus on how to properly collect mushrooms. Some argue that they need to be picked straight from the stem, while others are convinced that it is better to cut them with a knife. It is believed that tubular mushrooms (boletus, boletus and boletus) are easier to twist, they have a dense stem, and lamellar mushrooms (russula, milk mushrooms, champignons) should be cut off, since their hollow stem is very fragile and will crumble if you try to unscrew it. The main thing is to collect mushrooms carefully, not to dig up the forest floor, so as not to damage the thin mycelium located in it.

The hole formed after the mushroom has been removed should be covered with earth or litter. With such precautions, the mycelium in this place will bear fruit many times over.

I would also like to dwell on when is the best time to pick mushrooms and how to do it. To the first question, experts answer unequivocally that best time for picking mushrooms it is early in the morning, when the damp mushroom cap glistens with dew. This mushroom is noticeable from afar.

Most mushrooms are found on the edges of mixed forests - coniferous and deciduous, along paths; there are no mushrooms in the forest thickets. Myceliums cannot survive next to powerful trees, whose roots take all the nutrients from the ground. In addition, it is easy to get lost in the forest, so it is better not to take risks.

It is also not recommended to pick mushrooms near the Moscow Ring Road, since mushrooms perfectly absorb toxic substances from the air left after exhaust gases from cars. Rescuers also recommend wearing bright clothes for a “silent hunt”, which will be clearly visible in case you get lost, and be sure to check the battery charge of your phone so that you can call the rescue service if you get lost.
