In the old days, healers used to say that the fungus mushroom was the best cure for many diseases. They recommended using it every year for one month as a prophylactic, assuring that after that there would be no health problems, and the men would retain their strength until they were old.
For a long time, the fungus mushroom was listed in the directories exclusively as a malicious grebe. Therefore, peaceful forest collectors of useful plants, seeing him somewhere in the clearing, trampled furiously, so that his family did not spread further through the forest.
Indeed, the fungus is not very pleasant to look and feel. In a mature, open form, it resembles a male phallus, which within a day will be covered with fetid mucus and disappear from the face of the earth. It grows from a large "egg" covered with wrinkled skin, which is very similar to the male scrotum, and not only in appearance. If you take it in your hand, it is surprising that to the touch it resembles living human flesh. The fungus is really fungicidal and contains poisonous substances.
It grows in shrubs, in hazel and in the woods among tall grass. Popular rumor made him a mythical celebrity, like a fern flower. True, the difference is that you do not need to look for it. In the rainy summer, he makes his way through the ground with the first warm days, and you can find his family right up to the first frosts. It can not be eaten. To use its healing power, you need the experience of ancient healers. They know at what time the fungus is most useful. The preparation of infusions and extracts is done according to secret recipes.
Firstly, you need to go to the forest only in wet weather. In dry years, the fungus mushroom does not grow at all. Photos well demonstrate its features. It is stored poorly, so it is better to collect it in a glass jar, in which you are going to prepare a potion. Many recipes recommend pouring funky alcohol or vodka. When you do this, long mushrooms will pop up briskly, as if trying to jump out of this nasty liquid.
The author of this article used sunflower oil as a medium for leaching beneficial agents. Mushrooms were collected in a clean half-liter jar back in the forest. At home, fresh vegetable oil bought at the market was added at the very neck of it. After preliminary shaking the contents so that there is no air left in it, the jar should be closed with a lid, put in a black paper bag to protect from solar radiation (oil is oxidized in the light) and put on the window facing the south side for two weeks for maturation. You can put a jar of funky, filled with oil, in the refrigerator. But then the leaching period of nutrients should be extended by a month. Next, it will be necessary to strain the contents, pour the liquid phase into a clean bottle, stick the label. The medicine from the fun is ready.
The literature recommends the use of infusions for the treatment of cancer and any other diseases inside. However, such self-medication is dangerous, and without the recommendation of the attending physician, it should not be used. Personally, I was cured by this oil infusion of a fungus on my leg, which no pharmacy drugs, as well as cold sores, helped to get rid of. I used it only externally, lubricating my skin once a day at night. It was treated no more than ten days.
