Species diversity

Common milk mushrooms:

• real (white, raw, wet, right) - is considered the most delicious;
• black (nigella) - a brown or almost black mushroom that speeds up metabolism;
• peppery - has a burning taste; in the Caucasus, it is dried, ground into powder and used as an analogue of hot pepper;

• blue (dog, golden yellow lilac) - its white milky juice turns yellow in the air; has antibacterial activity against staphylococcal infections;
• red-brown (euphorbia, milkweed) - completely devoid of bitterness, but less and less common; differs by a unique set of herbal steroids.

It is important for inexperienced mushroom pickers to know the main differences.

Felt

The real mushroom is often confused with the felt or creaker (Lactarius velléreus).

At white mushroom the cap has a frill in the form of a fringe, and the flesh is on a break with a yellowish tinge. The violinist does not have a frill and the fruiting body is milky white with a cap diameter of 6–25 cm. But if he got into a dish with other mushrooms, nothing bad will happen.

When chewing, an unpleasant creaking on the teeth is felt, which is why such a name has taken root.

In Chinese medicine, the fiddler is used externally to treat lumbago, pain and numbness in the limbs, diseases of the bones and tendons.

In pharmacology, the alcoholic extract of these mushrooms exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity.

Camphor

Camphor milkweed (Lactarius camphoratus) grows on moist, mossy soils and rotten trees.

The hat is reddish-brown, up to 7 cm in diameter, in young mushrooms it is convex, in mature mushrooms it is concave, funnel-shaped. The flesh is brown, darkens at the break, but the milky juice that stands out does not change color.

Attention! The mushroom is unsuitable for food: the muscarine contained in it (as in the red fly agaric) is resistant to heat treatment and may cause poisoning.

The fungus clearly pronounced odor camphor, so it is difficult to confuse it with edible species. Old fruiting bodies may have a persistent smell of coconut.

peppery

Pepper, or false mushroom (Lactarius piperatus), is another double of the white, conditionally edible mushroom. Suitable for food after careful processing.

It has a peppery taste, hence the name. The only way to get rid of the spiciness is by soaking it for a long time.

Unlike a real milk mushroom, the cap of a pepper (5-25 cm in diameter) is always dry, without mucus and fringe at the edges. Milky juice in the air quickly changes color to olive, while real juice is always white.

In Chinese medicine, it is used to relieve muscle cramps.

In Russia, the milky juice of this fungus has been used for a long time to remove warts and compresses against purulent conjunctivitis. In the 19th century, they even tried to treat tuberculosis with pepper milk, but to no avail.

In Slavic folk medicine, fried mushrooms were treated for kidney and gallbladder stones.

White

White, or real mushroom (Lactarius résimus), is the most beloved among the people. The hat is white, in adult mushrooms with a yellowish tinge, 10–25 cm in diameter. It is covered with mucus even in dry weather, and fringe-like fluff is observed on its edges. The flesh is white, changing color to gray or yellowish when cut. The smell is pleasant.

Lives in coniferous and mixed forests of the Urals, the Volga region, Siberia from late July to October.

Along with porcini mushrooms, saffron mushrooms, mushrooms and champignons, it belongs to category 1 mushrooms (the best, by consumer standards, forest gifts).

White mushroom is useful for:

• colds (clears the lungs and bronchi);
• urolithiasis (removes salt);
• diabetes mellitus (regulates blood sugar).

Like all mushrooms, it can cause harm in the form of a gastrointestinal disorder. It should not be eaten with diseases of the liver and stomach, children and pregnant women.

But here’s what’s strange: in Russian folk medicine, young fruiting bodies boiled without adding salt are used just to treat stomach ailments.

Black

The black mushroom, or nigella (Lactarius nécator), loves coniferous forests with birch thickets.

Hat at young mushroom convex, becomes funnel-shaped with age, 6–20 cm in diameter. The color is difficult to determine: it varies from brown to black-green. Concentric circles on the cap are often visible. The flesh is light, at the site of the break, juice is released, darkening upon contact with air. The leg is a few shades lighter. The plates are creamy, darken in places of damage.

Speeds up metabolism, helps to lose weight, contains vitamins B and PP.

Has no poisonous twins.
