When do the first mushrooms appear and what kind? Quiet mushroom hunting! When and how to pick mushrooms in the forest correctly

Prepared mushroom picker all year round can search (and find:-)!) mushrooms in wildlife. The most fruitful season for mushrooms is, of course, autumn. The most boring time is not even winter, but the turning point from winter to early spring, but even at this time you can find something to profit from in the forest.

Mushrooms all year round - how to understand the mushroom calendar

The decisive factor for the appearance of mushrooms in the forest is not the numbers on the calendar, but weather conditions, and not even those observed in at the moment, and specifically those that were observed before. After a long winter with heavy snow or after a dry summer, mushrooms do not appear at the same time as after warm winter or wet summer. On the growth of mushrooms - both in terms of period and in terms of their quantity - the most great value factors such as humidity and temperature. But generally speaking, those years when the amount of precipitation exceeds the average norm turn out to be much more beneficial for mushrooms than dry years.

The results of ten years of observations of mushroom seasons by experienced mushroom pickers indicate that the first morels can grow in our climate around March 13, but also around May 8. So the difference in mushroom growing season is about eight weeks!

That is, I want to say that mushroom calendar gives a rough idea of when and what to look for, but you need to navigate to a greater extent still more according to natural phenomena.

Join our new group lovers of quiet hunting

I am sure that among avid mushroom pickers there will definitely be those who are looking forward to the snow melting in the forest and the first grass turning green. And for good reason, because only in spring - in April and May - do special mushrooms appear that have excellent taste qualities.

These are the well-known “second after truffles” morels and controversial lines - no less tasty, but dangerous without special treatment. However, they are not the only ones on the list of those being collected. It turns out that other mushrooms also grow in the spring and have been used as food for centuries. I intend to list all of them in this article - with the obligatory indication of the dates of appearance and places of growth.

But, I will not limit my story to edible (or conditionally edible) mushrooms alone, and for greater scientific completeness I will supplement it (towards the end) with those species whose edibility is in question. The list is completed by the only spring mushroom, which is considered absolutely poisonous under any conditions.

Important: about boiling morels and strings

Before moving on to listing spring mushrooms, it would be useful to mention the nuances of preparing the two most popular groups - morels and strings.

Almost all sources recommend pre-boiling or (more reliably) drying these mushrooms for a long time - from 3 to 6 months - to avoid poisoning. However, it is known for certain that dangerous toxins are contained only in lines, and morels (and many experienced mushroom pickers point out this) can be prepared without boiling at all - this way they turn out much tastier. However, scientists warn: it is not necessary once and for all.

Depending on the place of growth and weather and climatic conditions, morels may well accumulate toxic substances, and the lines can grow with a minimal, virtually non-hazardous content of toxin, or vice versa - the concentration of poison in them will go off scale, and no amount of boiling or even six-month drying will help.

From here we can draw the only conclusion: the most reliable way to avoid poisoning is not to collect the lines at all, and to always boil or dry morels before cooking.

Eating strings or unboiled morels, especially strings that have not undergone pre-treatment, is something any mushroom picker can do at your own risk.

Edible morel

Photo 2. Young fruiting body of the edible morel.

Known to most mushroom pickers, the edible morel is the most mass appearance in our forests. It is, as a rule, most abundant and collected in the spring.

This mushroom grows in places where there is a lot of light and the soil is calcareous, rich in nutrients. It especially loves deciduous forests, although it can also be found in pine forests. Loves the southern slopes of hills, clearings, edges, gaps, as well as cluttered places with dead wood and windbreaks. Can be found in urban tree plantations, parks and gardens.

Fruits from early May until about mid-June. The fruiting bodies of the edible morel are the largest of all morels. Their usual size is from 6 to 15 cm in height, but sometimes 20-centimeter specimens are found.

Conical morel

Photo 3. A group of conical morel fruiting bodies.

This mushroom is not as common as the previous one, but appears noticeably earlier. In general, it can be called the very first spring mushroom.

The conical morel prefers coniferous and mixed forests to deciduous forests. Loves damp grassy places - swampy lowlands, floodplains.

Fruits from mid-April to May, occasionally appearing in early June. The size of the fruiting bodies usually does not exceed 15 centimeters.

Morel tall

Very similar to the conical morel, but often has more dark color caps and somewhat elongated in height. In terms of the rest - places of growth and timing of fruiting - it fully corresponds to it, except that it is noticeably less common.

Morel cap

A small mushroom similar to morels, but it is not a real morel, but belongs to the genus “Verpa”. By the way, the Latin name of the cap is translated into Russian as “Bohemian verpa.”

With such a “noble” name, this mushroom should definitely be edible! In principle, this is true: the morel cap can be consumed in the same way as morels - after boiling without decoction.

This fungus grows in light but damp forests - on loamy and dry soils. sandy soils. Loves lowlands, floodplains of streams, slightly swampy areas, simply put - all those places where it is humid. Mycorrhiza forms with trees such as aspen, linden, and birch; where they are not present, the fungus does not grow. Fruits in the second half of April - first half of May. Its fruiting bodies are very small in size - the diameter of the cap usually does not exceed 3 centimeters.

Conical cap

Outwardly, it resembles the previous mushroom, but is a little smaller in size, and there may be no pronounced wrinkles on its cap. Grows in the most different forests, prefers calcareous soils. It has been spotted several times in gardens, in particular near hedges.

Fruits in late April - May. It is considered edible, consumed after boiling without decoction, however, it does not differ in special taste.

Ordinary stitch

This mushroom grows on sandy soils, preferring coniferous and mixed forests to deciduous ones. Loves old burnt areas and clearings, can be found under poplars.

It bears fruit in April-May, the size of its fruiting bodies usually does not exceed 10-15 centimeters.

The line is gigantic

The stitch differs from the usual one in the lighter color of the cap and in slightly larger sizes. However, the giant string prefers birch forests or mixed forests with an admixture of birch over coniferous forests. Most often found in well-lit places - edges, clearings, clearings.

Fruits from late April to May, occasionally appearing in early June. The fruiting bodies are quite large; the cap can reach up to 30 cm in diameter.

Pointed stitch

It’s also a beam stitch. Enough little-known mushroom, was previously considered a subspecies of the giant stitch, but was separated into a separate species.

Grows widely deciduous forests on calcareous soils, especially loves old oak forests, as well as any forests with an admixture of oak. He avoids other places; you definitely won’t find him in the taiga. Often found near rotten stumps and fallen trees.

Fruits from April to May.

May row (May mushroom)

It is also called “St. George’s mushroom.” Quite famous and highly respected by some mushroom pickers. Widely distributed, prefers places where there is litter and plenty of light: deciduous forests, forest edges, lawns, clearings, gardens, parks. It even grows on lawns.

It bears fruit quite en masse from April to June, often forming large clusters. As mentioned above, it is collected and eaten, although in some places mushroom pickers ignore this row.

Short-legged rower

A very little-known early mushroom, it is usually classified as a toadstool - due to external resemblance. Although, it is quite edible and is used as food in some places.

The short-legged row grows in different forests and is unpretentious to the location. You can meet her in a park or garden. Fruits from April to June.

Double-ringed champignon

It is also a sidewalk champignon. Grows in soils rich in organic matter, among grass. It can often be found on city lawns, on roadsides, and is also famous for its ability to grow through cracks in asphalt. Widely distributed and quite common.

The fruiting bodies of the double-ringed champignon appear in May and disappear in June. Knowledgeable mushroom pickers collect it, because this mushroom is edible and has good taste. Sometimes it is cultivated.

Sac-shaped golovach

Photo 13. The earliest of the raincoats is the bag-shaped bighead.

One of the earliest puffball mushrooms. Appears at the end of May, bears fruit until September. You can meet it in open places - forest edges and clearings, meadows and pastures.

Like all puffballs, it is considered edible in at a young age- while the pulp is white, elastic and has not yet turned into spore powder.

Sulfur-yellow tinder fungus

Photo 14. Young fruiting bodies of the sulfur-yellow tinder fungus.

When many hear the word “tinder”, the first thing they remember is a hefty “flying saucer” firmly stuck to an old stump or fallen timber. Eating these mushrooms is out of the question; all that remains is to offer them to the beaver as a dessert. However, having barely broken through the bark, the still young fruiting bodies of tinder fungi are tender and juicy, and therefore quite usable. But not all, but only certain species, a couple of which were included in our spring list.

The sulfur-yellow tinder fungus is one of them. Its fruiting bodies somewhat resemble yellow dough that has come out through cracks in the wood. Appear on deciduous trees, less often - coniferous trees in May - approximately in the second half of the month. The mushroom does not bear fruit for long - until the end of June.

We rarely collect it, but in some places abroad it is considered a delicacy and has the nickname “tree chicken.” However, you should be careful with it: there is information that a mushroom grown on coniferous trees causes poisoning and allergic reactions, the same effect can be observed when eating old fruiting bodies.

Scaly polypore

Photo 14. Young fruiting bodies of the scaly polypore.

He is also a variegated tinder fungus. Like the previous mushroom, it grows on trees, you can eat it while it’s young. However, in years of famine, people also had to eat old fruiting bodies - they made broth from them.

Appears in May - towards the end of the month, bears fruit throughout the warm season - until October.

Wood-loving collibia (spring honey fungus)

This mushroom begins the list of spring mushrooms, the consumption of which is not a serious matter, either due to poor nutritional qualities, or due to outright inedibility and toxicity.

Wood-loving collibia is a small mushroom with a wide cap and a thin stalk. In fact, it is edible, but in appearance it is very similar false honey fungus, therefore, it is rarely collected and prepared by anyone, except perhaps the most experienced (and fanatical) mushroom pickers.

Grows in deciduous forests with litter, loves oak forests. Fruiting bodies are released throughout the warm season - from May to October.

Dung beetle flickering

Photo 17. Fruiting bodies of the dung beetle on rotten wood.

A small fungus that grows anywhere there is rotting wood. You can meet it in a variety of forests, as well as in parks and gardens. Many mushroom pickers know this mushroom well, but hardly anyone collects it: the shimmering dung beetle is inconspicuous and small (its cap does not exceed 4 cm in diameter), in addition, it quickly turns into a black slurry (like all dung mushrooms). And some experts even consider it inedible.

It bears fruit from May to September and is usually found in large groups.

Spindlefish

Photo 18. Spindlefish (enlarged several times).

It grows in a wide variety of forests, mainly on moist loamy soil. The first fruiting bodies appear in April - in fairly decent bunches. The spindle spore fruit bears fruit throughout the warm season - until October.

It’s a beautiful fungus, it looks quite appetizing in the photo, and could possibly be edible, but it didn’t turn out to be a sprout. The diameter of its fruiting body does not exceed half a centimeter, and therefore it has no nutritional value.

Petsitsa bright red

Photo 19. Bright red petsica - compact and beautiful.

This early mushroom, like the previous one, can be found in any forest, but it grows not on the soil, but on wood debris (usually on old branches immersed in the soil). He especially loves places cluttered with dead wood.

The bright red petitsa also bears fruit throughout the warm season - from April to October. The size of its fruiting bodies does not exceed 6 centimeters in diameter (usually less). There is no information about the regular consumption of this mushroom. Its pulp is quite hard and does not have a pronounced taste. However, it is known for certain about this mushroom that it is not poisonous.

Lakhnum bicolor

Photo 20. Fruiting bodies of Lakhnum bicolor on a rotten branch. Increased several times.

A rare small mushroom growing on the branch litter of deciduous trees. Fruits in April-May. It has a yellow cap, trimmed along the edges with white, fluffy fibers.

Under a magnifying glass, this fungus looks very impressive, but has no nutritional value - its diameter does not exceed two millimeters.

Multi-colored tinder fungus

Photo 21. This forest regular is familiar to many hikers. Multi-colored tinder fungus on a stump.

A very widespread and familiar to many lovers of forest walks is a fungus that grows on the trunks of dried deciduous trees. Occasionally it can be found on fallen fir trees.

Fruits from May to October. Like many tinder fungi, it is tough and woody, and therefore has no nutritional value.

Common gorsewort

Photo 22. Common chinwort on a fallen tree.

Just like the previous one, this mushroom loves wood, and it can grow not only on dried trunks and stumps, but also on living trees (mainly deciduous trees). It comes across quite often - in a variety of forests.

Fruits in spring and summer - from May to August. It has no nutritional value due to its small size (the diameter of the cap does not exceed 3 cm).

Lacrymaria velvety

A widespread mushroom that grows on rotting wood - in mixed and deciduous forests.

It begins to throw out small fruiting bodies in May and continues until September. It is considered inedible due to its strong astringent taste.

Stropharia hemispherical

Photo 24. Fruiting bodies of Stropharia hemispherica.

A fairly common mushroom that grows in well-manured soil, but most often directly on manure. Belongs to the very well-known Strophariaceae family, which also includes hallucinogenic mushrooms from the genus Psilocybe.

Fruits from May to October. Counts inedible mushroom, although some authors claim that it can be eaten. However, few people want to pick mushrooms that grow on... well, you get the idea!

Entoloma spring

Photo 25. Spring entoloma. On the left is a view from below, on the right is a young fruiting body.

Spring entoloma is the only one on our list poisonous mushroom, which cannot be collected (let alone eaten) because it is fraught with severe poisoning.

This mushroom is quite widespread. It is found in various forests, as well as in gardens and parks. Its small fruiting bodies (no more than 10 cm in height) appear in April - May, in large clusters.

From this article you will learn when which mushrooms grow in our latitudes, as well as when (on what day) it is better to collect them

Stirlitz went into the forest to pick mushrooms.
I searched in the clearings. Didn't find it.
I looked under the trees. Didn't find it.
“It’s not the season,” thought Stirlitz
and threw the basket into the snow.

Summer and autumn mushrooms

You can pick mushrooms not only in autumn. Many are good edible mushrooms such as boletus, boletus, and boletus begin to appear in our forests already at the end of May-beginning of June and sometimes grow all summer. It all depends on the weather.

Edible mushrooms love long-lasting damp, cool weather, which does not happen very often at the end of May and in the summer. Therefore, spring and summer mushrooms are not found as often as we would like, and the time to pick mushrooms comes only in the fall.

But not every autumn is suitable for mushrooms, but only the one during which sufficient precipitation and no frost. If the whole of September passed without rain, don’t expect mushrooms.

There are mushroom years and not. Typically, for every 3 mushroom years there is one non-mushroom year, with a dry autumn, but it is difficult to identify an exact pattern - it all depends on a combination of weather factors.

What mushrooms grow when?

It is good to pick mushrooms from the end of August to the end of October, before the first frost. Mushrooms such as boletus, boletus, and boletus usually grow until the end of September - in October, especially if the temperature drops below 10-12 C, you rarely see them anywhere. But the beginning of October is the time for Polish and porcini mushrooms. Also in October, honey mushrooms appear, which grow in our forests before frost, and some even after. However, honey mushrooms frozen after frost cannot be consumed - they release a toxic substance after frost.

Mushroom picker calendar:

Best time to pick mushrooms

Nowadays, many people like to pick mushrooms, and thanks to the Internet and the media, people learn about mushroom places near their city - and on weekends, a whole line of cars lines up on the roads near the forest. Therefore, it is best to go mushroom picking from Wednesday to Friday or at dawn on Saturday. On Sunday, even at 5 am near the city you will find only slices or the smallest mushrooms, not noticed by the mushroom pickers passing here on Saturday. Therefore, if you want to enjoy a real mushroom “hunt” and not pick up leftovers, take a day off in the middle of the week and go mushroom hunting.

From lunar calendar The growth of mushrooms does not depend (in any case, I have not noticed such a dependence and have never heard of it) only on the weather.

Mushroom picking also does not depend on the time of day; the tradition of going for mushrooms early arose from the fact that everyone wanted to collect them first. Personally, as a convinced night owl, I don’t bother getting up early; you can pick up a couple of kilograms of mushrooms in the afternoon, especially on a weekday.

Mushroom places

To successfully collect mushrooms you need to know mushroom places, because in the same forest for several kilometers there can be a lot of mushrooms, but after 500 meters it’s all gone. This is due to many factors, including the spread of mycelium. Therefore, if in mushroom year you went to the forest to pick mushrooms, but didn’t find a single edible one - change your location. If you find only sections, old moldy or eaten mushrooms, it means they grow here, but perhaps they have already been collected before you. In this case, mark this place on the map and come there on another day, preferably on a weekday.

So, summing up the above, we get the following conclusion: best time for picking mushrooms- this is autumn, in the middle of the week, a couple of days after the rain, on relatively warm, but not hot days. Also good sign Mushroom time is foggy and warm nights. Sunday is the worst day for picking mushrooms in places where others have already visited on Saturday.

Today in the office there was a conversation about how to properly pick mushrooms, and I decided to write down everything I heard. I’ll say right away that I’m a beginner mushroom picker, but methodical and very lucky, so perhaps my advice will be useful, and I don’t doubt the experience of my colleagues - there are more than one generation of mushroom pickers in families. I will also tell you how to carefully and correctly collect mushrooms, and why you should never pick or pull them out.

Signs

In general, our conversation began with the fact that last year the most superstitious mushroom lovers did not go for them, and now they are in anticipation. And I, as the youngest mushroom picker, became interested in why you can’t pick mushrooms in leap year? I was told several versions, I’ll tell you the most memorable ones:

Mystical version: in the old days, people believed that if you pick mushrooms during a leap year, the spirit of the forest will take revenge and people in the village will begin to die. Naturally, there is no reliable information on this matter.
Random: There is an opinion that once every few years the mycelium becomes poisonous and releases all the accumulated harmful substances along with the mushrooms. I don’t know how much truth there is in this, but I personally am touched by the mycelium’s schedule, which coincides with leap years.
Rational version: a mycelium is a large organism that needs nourishment and fertilizer, so it is not recommended to collect mushrooms every few years - you need to give the myceliums the opportunity to recover. Therefore, knowledgeable people either change their mushroom spots from year to year, or simply take a break during a leap year.

The remaining signs are less mystical and more substantiated. For example, in Siberia they say that when the midges fly, you should prepare the baskets- the midge activity season coincides with the mushroom season.

And in the Volga region I often hear the words “ Like a white mushroom, so is everyone brave“- this means that an inexperienced mushroom picker will only pick porcini mushrooms, while an experienced one will come with a full basket anywhere - because he knows the local mushrooms.

Right time and right place

Many people don't know when and where to pick mushrooms. I painstakingly wrote down everything that my colleagues said and am seriously planning to use my knowledge in 2018 and 2019. So, you need to start picking mushrooms in the spring.

Morels

They can be collected in April-May; they grow mainly under deciduous trees. These are conditionally edible mushrooms, so before boiling, frying or stewing them, you must first soak them (in salted water). For soaking, you will need a volume of water three times the volume of mushrooms. Soak for at least half an hour, and then carefully wash and boil, and then you can cook.

Raincoats

They appear immediately after morels and grow on lawns and clearings, and sometimes along paths. They are traditionally eaten fried and cooked on the day of collection.

Champignons

Their season begins in May and continues right until autumn. They are used in all forms.

Boletus and boletus

Summer mushrooms are traditionally considered especially valuable, and among them the easiest to find are boletus and boletus. Bright and beautiful, they grow in deciduous and mixed forests and they can be collected from June until autumn.

Butter

Where can you find boletus? In a coniferous forest - for example, suitable pine forest. Oil flakes appear when temperatures change- for example, in the first half of June, then at the end of July, and then from the end of August to mid-September.

Porcini mushrooms

What kind of mushrooms can you pick in any forest? The answer is clear - white. They grow almost everywhere, be it deciduous or coniferous forest. Most often they can be found under birch, oak and pine trees. Harvested from the second week of June to the first week of October.

Saffron milk caps, honey mushrooms, russula and chanterelles

If you like to pick mushrooms in the forest without much fuss, then it is best to give preference to these mushrooms. So, in order:

saffron milk caps grow young pine forests, they are eaten in in different forms, and can be collected from July to October;
Chanterelles are also collected from July to October; their beauty is that they do not need to be boiled before cooking;
honey mushrooms are my favorite mushrooms, collecting them is as easy as shelling pears - just two good stumps are enough, and they grow both in summer and autumn;
Russula is the first fungus that even children become familiar with; they are bright and beautiful, and at the same time they require very little time to prepare.

If you, like me, don’t know at all which mushrooms you can’t pick, and which ones you can and even need, then watch videos about it.

Why do I insist on video? Because learning to pick mushrooms from pictures or photographs is very difficult - for example, it costs nothing to confuse honey mushrooms with false honey mushrooms, while the video clearly shows the difference.

If you don’t understand how to pick mushrooms so as not to cause harm to your health, watch the rules for picking mushrooms in the video.

Learn all the rules and tips from experienced mushroom pickers, and then ask to pick mushrooms together once.

How to collect correctly

To be honest, I used to treat mushrooms without due reverence. Of course, as a child, my mother tried to forbid me to pick mushrooms with my hands, but let’s be honest - I didn’t listen too well. And now I myself do my best to ensure that the myceliums are protected and not disturbed.

What we consider mushrooms are only part of the mycelium; it is located underground. Like any living organism, the mycelium becomes depleted over time, and then may disappear altogether. Of course, mature mushrooms give rise to new deposits of mushrooms, but for the mycelium to begin to function, it will take a lot of time and nutrients.

You should not collect only some mushrooms and treat others with disdain (for example, kicking fly agaric mushrooms). Let's say we come to the forest and collect porcini mushrooms because we are confident in them. But there is absolutely no need to trample and break those mushrooms that seem unsightly to us - firstly, more experienced and knowledgeable amateur a quiet hunt will be able to recognize it as some kind of local delicacy, and secondly, mushrooms are part of the ecosystem.

When we come to the forest, we don’t ask anyone if we can pick mushrooms, but that doesn’t mean that they grow there for us. Birds, insects and small animals feed on them and participate in important biological processes, and believe me - even fly agarics are needed for some reason.

If you went to the forest, and there you were met with real abundance and now you don’t know what mushrooms you can pick in the forest, then either ask for advice from knowledgeable people, or collect only familiar mushrooms. If you really can’t bear it, collect those that you like, but put them separately from those that you are sure are edible, and then show them to experienced mushroom pickers.

How to properly collect mushrooms, cutting or twisting it is up to you, but you should not tear it up by the roots - the mycelium is disturbed, and literally in one or two seasons the forest may cease to be productive.

Don't know how to collect mushrooms in the forest? I'll tell you in order.

First of all, they get ready to pick mushrooms as early as possible - all my friends leave around five or six o'clock in the morning. This is due to the fact that there will be more time to collect, it is not hot in the forest, and the mushrooms are in better shape.
You need to take with you containers for collection and transportation (best breathable, made from natural materials), a couple of knives (in case of loss - anything can happen), as well as a snack, water and repellents. If you are not confident in yourself, take a compass. Of course, if you know how to use it.
The main advice that can be given to beginners is to collect mushrooms carefully, and collect only those mushrooms that you know well. A mistake can cost your life.
Do you want to collect a lot of mushrooms? Look under every leaf, move every blade of grass.
Couldn't cut it? Try to unscrew the mushroom without damaging its roots.
Place each collected mushroom carefully and carefully in the basket.
Of course, no one will prohibit it, but it is considered a rule of good manners not to take the smallest mushrooms.
Place each cut mushroom of a certain type as close as possible to its fellow mushrooms.
Mushrooms need to be picked “in the prime of life” - not yours, but theirs. They should be strong, mature, plump and elastic.

Every torn mushroom is a minus in your karma. You can’t pick out or pull out even those mushrooms that you don’t need. In general, you can only pick grass, and even then it is not necessary. Better carefully unscrew the mushroom.

Fresh, collected from the clean forest and prepared for dinner delicious mushrooms- a pleasant and healthy alternative to the already boring chicken puree and pasta with sausages. You can learn how to cook delicious mushrooms in the articles on our website, and today we’ll talk about when to pick mushrooms.

The mushroom picking season lasts from early spring and continues until the end of autumn. To find more mushrooms specific species, you need to know when you can pick one or another mushroom. Let's look at everything in order.

Mushroom picking: which ones, where and when?

April and May are the time when morels appear. It is best to look for them in deciduous forests and fertile soils. If morels with a bell-shaped cap can be found in deciduous forests, then coniferous forests rich in conical morels with an elongated cap. Morels are also found in mixed forests; the caps of such mushrooms are gray or brown in color. Many people consider these mushrooms to be poisonous, but when cooking, the poison leaves the mushrooms (the liquid must be drained completely), and this also happens when the mushrooms are dried.
Raincoats appear at the end of May. They are easy to find along roads, in gardens, meadows and pastures. It is best to take young mushrooms. In parallel with raincoats, oyster mushrooms appear (can be found on dead tree trunks, on stumps, in brushwood and on dead wood) and meadow honey fungus.
At the beginning of summer, boletus (in birch groves) and boletus (in pine forests) appear. By this moment there are also quite a lot of russula and fly mushrooms.
Many consider it the most important mushroom porcini mushroom. When to collect porcini mushrooms? At the end of June, you can already go looking for them in pine and oak forests and spruce forests. During this same period, it is time to collect chanterelles and boletuses near aspen and birch trees. They prefer to grow in shady forests. You can look for champignons in the clearings, and pigs in the forests.
July is the month of the appearance of new milk mushrooms. You can find this mushroom in almost any forest.
August is the time to collect black, yellow and aspen milk mushrooms, as well as pink and white milk mushrooms. Bright saffron milk caps can be found in spruce forests, and russula can be found in any forest.

August is the time of the most massive mushroom picking. All the mushrooms have already appeared, and therefore there are a lot of them in the forests. The closer to autumn, the fewer mushrooms there are. So, September will delight you with late russula, milkweeds, autumn honey mushrooms, and swamp birch trees. October allows you to find autumn oyster mushrooms and pine porcini mushrooms. After the first frost, it is time to end the mushroom season.
