Satanic mushroom - a description where it grows, the toxicity of the fungus

With the arrival of autumn comes the mushroom season. Experienced mushroom pickers do not face the problem of poisonous mushrooms, but what should beginners do? Moreover, in nature there are conditionally edible mushrooms. For example, satanic mushroom (Boletus satanas). Such a mushroom can be eaten only after ten hours of cooking. But after such a procedure, the taste of the fungus becomes inedible, respectively, many mushroom pickers refuse the idea to profit.

 Satanic mushroom

Short description

In appearance, the satanic mushroom is very similar to the usual boletus, they are often therefore confused. This similarity is too dangerous to health, given that the boletus is not at all harmful to humans and should not undergo heat treatment so carefully. It is important to remember that such a fungus is a sufficiently small amount for the manifestation of symptoms of poisoning.

His hat is pillow-shaped, smooth, covered with a thick film. The color is dirty gray, olive, or with a yellow tint. From the inside, the hat resembles a sponge-like substance of a light yellow color or green in a more adult fungus. As for the leg, it is almost the same as the boletus. Thus, confusing mushroom pickers. In appearance, the leg is rather massive, in diameter it can reach 10-13 cm, height - around 22 cm.

To distinguish the satanic mushroom from the other - it is necessary to cut the leg. Initially, it becomes blue, and after red. This is due to the reaction of air to toxic substances of the fungus. There is another way to distinguish the poisonous fungus - smell. In Satan, it is specific, resembling a spoiled onion, but do not forget that if the fungus is still young, the smell may be absent. Therefore, first of all, pay attention to the cut, and it is best to do it immediately, without waiting for your return home. The chemical reaction can be completed, and it will be impossible to determine edibility.

Where is growing?

The satanic mushroom grows mainly in the southern side of Russia, in the Caucasus, in the Middle East, where it illuminates the sun very well. Maturation falls on the month of September.Mostly likes oak groves, rarely lime trees.

Virulence

In its raw form, the fungus is very poisonous, about 1 gram is enough to provoke a severe breakdown of the food system. It grows on limestone soil, family and one by one. Satanic mushroom, therefore, received such a formidable name. His cunning is almost identical in appearance with edible mushrooms and at the same time poisonous and too life-threatening inside.

Twin Mushrooms

There are several types of mushrooms, which are very similar to the satanic mushroom, and with which it is often confused:

  1. Brown dubovik - hat 6-22 cm, yellowish color, when pressed, a viscous liquid will stand out.
  2. The white boletus is a 5-10cm hat, silky to the touch, light brown in color, the leg is brown in brown. The smell is pleasant.

Also due to inexperience it can be confused with such mushrooms as:

  • Mottled dubovik.
  • Golden pink boletus.
  • Legal boletus.
