Greenhouse mushrooms are considered conditionally edible. They belong to the 4th category. They are a gourmet product that is distinguished by its high culinary value and great taste. Zelenushki can be found in pine trees, on the sidelines of paths and on sandy soils. Due to the fact that they usually only have one hat visible, finding them can be very difficult. You need to carefully look at any tubercles and mounds in sandy soil. These are the favorite places of greenfinches. These mushrooms are very common.
Description
Zelenushka is a mushroom that is scientifically called green rowovka. It has a dense and strong body that worms rarely spoil. The cap of the macromycete is convex and fleshy in the early stages, and openly flat in the later stages. It can reach a diameter of 15 cm. The color of the hat is greenish-yellow or yellow. In the center, it is darker. The structure of the cap is small-scaly, radially fibrous. When the weather is wet, it becomes very sticky, so needles and grains of sand stick to it. Often the hat is radially cracked.
Greenfinch mushrooms have wide, frequent plates of a greenish-yellow or yellow hue. A very dense leg is almost completely in the ground. Sometimes it is covered with small scales, it is rarely hollow. Greenhouse mushrooms have a fragile and at the same time hard flesh. If you remove the skin from the hat, then it will be yellow. These macromycetes have a pleasant floury smell and a sweetish taste. Some people think that greenfinch smells slightly of cucumbers. Her spore powder is white. Due to the fact that the mushroom is very common and popular with “silent hunters”, it was given many popular names (in each region its own). The main ones: green mushroom, sandstone, greenfinch, green sandpiper, etc.
Growth and distribution
Mushroom greenfinch prefers coniferous (especially dry pine) and mixed forests. It always grows on sandy soils, for which it received some popular names. Mushrooms grow both individually and in groups of 4-8. Often adjacent to a row of sulfur (mushrooms of the mouse), which prefers the same conditions. On open soils in pine forests, greenfinches occur when other macromycetes have already departed. The optimal time for collection is from September to late autumn (until the frost). They are distributed throughout the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. In many mushroom pickers, the greenfinch mushroom has gained popularity. A photo of him can be seen in this article.
Culinary use
Zelenushki can be pickled, salted, fried, boiled, etc. Fried mushrooms are especially tasty, and it is not necessary to boil them first. However, many do not disdain this procedure, since cooking helps to get rid of sand in the plates. If there is too much of it, then you can get rid of them yourself. The peel from the cap is best removed, since people often have intolerance to this component of the fruiting body.
Doubles
Greenfinch mushrooms have twins, from which they should be differentiated. Sulfur Ryadovka has a slightly smaller size, bitterness, unpleasant odor, sulfur-yellow color. This mushroom is poisonous. The ranks of sultry and isolated are inedible, but not dangerous.
