Where to look for mushrooms: The village of Sosnovo is famous for its locals they manage to pick mushrooms, going out for a walk with the dog or throwing out the trash. In general, it is not surprising, since the village is located almost in the middle of the forest. Pine forests are relatively dry, mixed, with a predominance of spruce and, of course, pine. Almost everywhere around Sosnovo they collect the most different mushrooms- a very large territory of the Sosnovsky rural settlement. Hunters for autumn delicacy note the abundance of black mushrooms, red and yellow russula, chanterelles and bitters are often found. In the season and a good year, both porcini mushrooms and aspen mushrooms are harvested. You can get to Sosnovo by train from the Finland Station. According to the reviews of mushroom pickers, you can pick up a full basket of mushrooms in the area railway station Bernhardovka. True, it will take about half an hour to walk from the station to the forest. You can also get to Berngardovka by train departing from Finland Station. The forests of the village of Snegirevka (near Sosnovo) - mixed with a predominance of coniferous trees - will surprise any mushroom picker with a variety of mushrooms. Almost everything grows here - chanterelles, podgruzdki, mossiness mushrooms and the ubiquitous russula. Also here it is quite possible to collect mushrooms and aspen mushrooms. It is convenient to get there by train to Sosnovo, and then by regular bus. Another village is famous for its mushroom deposits. In the forest near the village of Losevo, which is next to the Vuoksa River, there are porcini mushrooms, aspen mushrooms, birch mushrooms, oilers and mossiness mushrooms, and you can pick up chanterelles in season. However, here you will have to compete in the speed of finding mushrooms with numerous other "hunters". You can get to Losevo by car or by train from Finlyandsky railway station to Losevo station or by bus from Sosnovo. Some mushroom pickers advise picking autumn gifts forests only under the Glass Village. They say that during the season you can pick up a lot of porcini mushrooms there. However, this place can only be reached by car.

Forests between villages Borisovo and Michurinskoye in the Priozersky district are characterized by approximately one "product". There are many black mushrooms and chanterelles. Less common are noble white, boletus and boletus. In addition to mushrooms, blueberries are harvested here, lingonberries and cranberries are found. You can get there by bus from Sosnovo.

On the Karelian Isthmus noble mushrooms, according to experienced collectors, are found at every turn.

The forests east of the Myllupelto station (the area bounded by the villages of Solnechnoye, Motornoe and Pochinok, 10-15 km southeast of Priozersk) are also famous for various mushrooms. This, according to mushroom pickers, is one of the most fruitful places. It is difficult to get there, so it is better to go by car.

On the islands in the area village of Kuznechnoye most often you can find chanterelles. Although getting there is certainly not easy, here you need a car, and water transport is required.

But the easiest way to get to the forest near the village of Novoe Devyatkino is 10-15 minutes on foot from the Devyatkino metro station. True, the forest here is very wet. From August to October, during the season, you can even find porcini mushrooms near Novy Devyatkino.

Forest near Vyborg on the contrary, very dry. Therefore, in August - October, a real harvest of boletus, boletus and porcini mushrooms begins here. You can get there by car or by train from Finland Station or by bus from Grazhdansky Prospekt metro station.

And the last mushroom place known to us is a forest near village of Sinyavino in the Kirovsky district. Mushrooms here can be found any - from butter and russula to porcini. There is one "but" in this forest: during the Great Patriotic War there were fierce battles here, so there were funnels that you can easily fall into. You can get there without a car, by bus from the metro station "Ulitsa Dybenko".

On a note:
- Most people think that mushrooms should be looked for further away. This is partly true. However, most often it is in those places where no one is looking for that mushrooms grow.

Mushrooms never grow alone. If you spot something, be sure to stop right there and look at your feet. There must be someone hiding there.

If you don't know what kind of mushroom - don't take it. At any slightest suspicion, it is better to just leave the mushroom in the forest. Remember, life is more precious.

It is best to collect mushrooms in wicker baskets or birch bark baskets. In plastic bags and buckets, they quickly deteriorate due to the lack of air exchange.

In no case do not take already rotten mushrooms. Even if the rotten part is removed, the flavor and health benefits of the fungus may suffer.

Overripe and soft mushrooms, as well as wormy ones, are also not worth taking.

Mushroom Legends:

They say that mushrooms in the forest do not just live. They are bred by mosquitoes. For people to come to their homes.

It is believed that frogs can lead to mushrooms. Especially the smallest ones. Follow the frog and sooner or later you will come to the boletus or some other mushroom.

There are several folk ways , according to which mushroom pickers determine whether a mushroom is edible or not:

Silver check

There is an opinion that you can check the toxicity of mushrooms by adding a silver object to the pan when cooking. If the mushroom is inedible, then the silver will darken.

Bow check

Some housewives add an onion to the mushrooms when cooking - if the mushroom is poisonous, then it will change color and darken.

Milk test

There is a version that milk, when it gets into it poisonous mushroom, rolls up.

11. For a long time mushrooms can not be stored (no more than 2-3 hours). Therefore, having come from the forest, you should immediately sort them out and begin processing. Rapid spoilage of mushrooms is associated with great content moisture and, accordingly, in rainy weather, mushrooms will deteriorate faster.
