Why are they called chanterelle mushrooms. Why chanterelle mushrooms are not wormy

Chanterelles are a typical summer type of mushroom, the season of which starts in June and lasts until October. Chanterelles are very popular mushrooms due to their gastronomic properties. They have a bright appearance, which makes them easy to find and collect. Chanterelles are resistant to worms, do not deteriorate. Let's get to know the type of mushrooms closer.

Chanterelles - why are they called that?

There are two theories about the origin of the name mushrooms. The first says that mushrooms were named after an animal. Chanterelles are bright yellow, like the ears of a cunning animal that stick out from the forest floor.

The second version claims that the etymology of the name is rooted in the Old Russian adjective - fox. What does yellow mean in modern interpretation. The second theory is more reasonable, since the name of the animal fox also comes from the Old Russian adjective.

Description of mushrooms

Chanterelles have a rather memorable appearance, making them difficult to confuse with other types of mushrooms, including dangerous ones:

• cap - has a convex shape, smooth in young chanterelles. As the mushrooms grow, they begin to rise along the stem, and the hat takes on a relief appearance, has wavy edges. An adult mushroom has a depressed imprint on the cap, which is always located in the center of the cap. Thanks to this shape, the chanterelles become like a funnel. The diameter of the hat can reach 8 cm;
• the leg is solid without the formation of cavities. The transition from the stem to the hat is smooth. The length of the stem can vary significantly and depends on the type of area where the mushroom grows. In swampy areas, the size of the chanterelle leg can reach 10 cm;
• pulp - has a yellowish tint, which does not change at the cut points. The pulp is dense, practically does not crumble, has a specific aroma. Older mushrooms have a more rubbery flesh that absorbs moisture well and can get soggy quickly. Chanterelles are practically not subject to worminess;
• spore powder - has a light yellow color, the size reaches 8.5 × 5 microns;
• plates - go along the base from the cap to the leg. Chanterelles belong to the type of non-plastic mushrooms, the color of chanterelles is practically not changed even with strong pressure.

Living conditions for chanterelles

Chanterelles are excellent mushrooms that do not have a growth cycle, which other types of mushrooms are susceptible to. They are distinguished by a stable growth rate, the peak of their population is reached after thunderstorms.

Most often you can find Chanterelles in coniferous and deciduous forests. You can also meet mushrooms in swampy areas. You can collect them in forest plantations where there is no tall grass. Chanterelles tend to grow in large groups. Having met one Chanterelle, it is necessary to carefully examine the territory. There is a high probability that many brothers gathered around.

Mushrooms love to hide under moss, opal, in the grass. Very often you can find chanterelles near pines, oaks, firs and beech.

Not all chanterelles have a characteristic yellow color, there are others edible species mushrooms that are painted in a different color scheme:

• fox gray;
• fox red;
• chanterelle velvety;
• faceted chanterelle;
• chanterelle yellowing;
• chanterelle tubular;
• fox minor;
• fox white.

Double Chanterelles

The chanterelle has two counterparts - the orange talker, which is inedible, and the olive omphalot, which is poisonous. When collecting chanterelles, you need to pay attention to characteristics mushroom:

• common chanterelle is painted in yellow or orange palettes. Twins are more different rich color, copper-yellow tones, red-brown, beige-orange, rich orange are often found;
• the middle of the cap false mushrooms may have differences in color from the edges of the cap itself;
• the cap of false mushrooms is often covered with spots of various diameters;
• a real chanterelle has torn cap edges, while in twins they are most often even;

• the leg of the chanterelle is always thick, in twins it is more miniature;
• false mushrooms grow singly, real chanterelles grow in groups;
• chanterelles have pleasant aroma, as opposed to twins.

Bright yellow, clean, crisp mushrooms - chanterelles. They got their name from the Old Russian word "fox" - yellow. Like the fox, mushrooms are named for their color. Collecting chanterelles is a pleasure. Why?

Chanterelles are not wormy, they are noticeable, do not break and do not get wet in a basket (or even a bag), they are stored in the cold for up to 10 days. And they are just delicious mushrooms.

Where and when are chanterelles found

Chanterelles appear in mid-June and delight mushroom pickers until the end of October. They live in families. If you come across such a "family", then from one clearing you can pick up a decent basket. The ubiquitous chanterelles are found either in pine or mixed forests. They love places under old birch trees, all sorts of slopes, hillocks, soil disturbances. They really like places without grass. Either needles or fallen leaves. Often they are, as it were, “buried” in moss. This amazing mushrooms: they do not rot in the rain, they do not dry out in dry weather, but they simply grow more slowly, and worms do not eat them.

Why chanterelle mushrooms are not wormy. Is it possible to eat mushrooms that even worms "bypass"?

Chanterelle ordinary: an unusually healing mushroom

There is only one reason for the fact that chanterelles are never wormy - D-mannose in their composition. This substance allows us to talk about chanterelles as a medicine. But for chanterelles to be medicine, they must be consumed dry or fresh. Without heat treatment and without treatment with caustic substances. Mannose is capricious. And under the influence of temperature dies. But it is precisely its properties that explain why chanterelles are not wormy. To preserve the effect of mannose, preparations from chanterelles are prepared at temperatures not exceeding 50 ° C.

Other essential substance in chanterelles - ergosterol, which is able to cleanse and restore the liver.

There are a lot of vitamins and minerals in chanterelles:

• For vitamin A, they surpassed carrots.
• In terms of B vitamins, yeast was left behind.
• Contain vitamin C - the creator of connective tissues, immunity stimulator.
• Nicotinic acid (vitamin PP), which provides microcirculation, affects good blood flow in peripheral tissues. Relieves diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia.
• Zinc is indispensable in the work of sexual and nervous systems. Supports immunity. Beneficial effect on the skin. This microelement is present in insulin. Lack of zinc inhibits the work of the adrenal glands and the thyroid gland.
• Sulfur, forming sulfide bonds, creates a number of enzymes and vitamins that take part in various body processes, for example, in blood clotting. Makes blood thicker.

Two more substances were found in chanterelles: polysaccharide K-10 and trametonolinic acid. They act on the hepatitis virus. Effective in hemangioma and fatty degeneration of the liver.

Chanterelles are used to correct vision, to treat night blindness. They prevent aging, being a strong antioxidant and suppressing free radicals. IN traditional medicine used for tonsillitis, pancreatic diseases, furunculosis and obesity.

Fox's "twins"

Chanterelles - yellow, yellow-orange. The hat is darker, the leg is lighter. When assembled, they are easy to break. The hat is wavy, smooth only in young chanterelles. On the lower part of the fungus there are not plates, but wrinkles (chanterelles are close to tinder fungi). Wrinkles go down the leg, imperceptibly passing into it. Very delicious mushroom.

Growing next to chanterelles false chanterelles(talkers). They are edible, but tasteless. Mushroom - lamellar. The plates end very abruptly. The speaker is not poisonous. There is no danger of poisoning.

You can confuse the chanterelle with the yellow blackberry. There's nothing to be afraid of either. Not only is the hedgehog not poisonous, it is considered a delicacy. Its sign is that on the underside of the cap there are not plates, but crumbling needles.

The benefits of chanterelles

"Twins" of chanterelles are not afraid of worms. Why are chanterelles not wormy? Maybe the worms don't eat the mushroom because it's poisonous? Not at all. This is a bogus fear. Even in the pale toadstool dangerous for humans, the larvae feel great.

Moreover, mushrooms can be treated. Neither plants nor minerals became such a sensation as mushrooms. It has been known in Japan since ancient times. Now it is becoming popular in Europe and in Russia. This science is called the future of modern pharmacology. And it turned out that most medicinal mushrooms grow in Russia.

False chanterelle, at first glance, looks like a common chanterelle, but its color is more orange, the folds on the inside of the cap are more uniform and forked-branched; the pulp is fragile, somewhat elastic; false chanterelle grows on tree trunks and chips in coniferous forests. The mushroom is edible, but not very tasty.

The cap of a real chanterelle is at first slightly convex, flat, and by maturity it is funnel-shaped, the edges of a smooth cap are strongly wavy. The pulp is dense, rubbery, white or yellowish, with a very pleasant smell. The plates are descending on the stem, narrow, branched, of the same color as the cap. The stem of the mushroom is short, dense, cylindrical.
