Tastes and characteristics

The main characteristic of the butterdish is its cap - oily, sticky, often with easily peeled skin (the mushroom got its name precisely because of this rare trait). The leg is solid, under the cap there is a "veil", sometimes connecting with the cap's skin. Depending on the age of the sample, the shape of the cap can be both convex and flat. The flesh is whitish or yellowish, easily cut (perhaps it is for this mushroom that worms love so much).
The taste of butter is not inferior to all beloved white mushrooms. Young brown-brown pine and coniferous taste and aroma. The taste of old mushrooms is metallic.

The rich composition helps to strengthen the body, prevents the deposition of cholesterol, helps reduce headaches, accelerates the process of removing uric acid and salt from the body. The product is eaten in the autumn season in order to be ready for a meeting with catarrhal ailments, improve mood and vitality. And on the use of these amazing mushrooms in traditional medicine, you can write a whole book.
Did you know? Curiously, mushrooms are able to take a tan. With enough sunlight, they produce vitamin D, which transforms the color of their cap.
Features of the selection of mushrooms
The main danger that can be trapped by lovers of oil is the purchase or collection of their false counterparts. One should carefully study the differences between these representatives of the same family and always be convinced of the quality of the mushrooms.
In the woods
The main common features by which to determine the nipple ordinary:
- hat with mucous, sticky skin, shiny, as if oiled;
- the presence of a spongy layer.
According to the first indicator, other mushrooms can be taken for oil. In addition, the cap near the oiler in dry weather can become glossy. But in the absence of the second sign of the fungus, you can safely reject it.
Among inedible twins and false (poisonous) species, which should be avoided, experienced mushroom pickers emit yellow-brown and Siberian boletus. It is possible to distinguish a yellow-brown appearance by a lilac shade and a "metallic" smell.
Siberian maslits are also painted in purple on the cut, and when touched, the tubular layer reddens.
Some danger in the form of allergic reactions and intestinal disturbances are old, over-ripe and wormy specimens, that is, mushrooms collected during an unsuitable climatic period.
The butterdish appears in June and grows until October. Mass fructification is in September. At a temperature of -5 ° C fruiting stops. And after the soil freezes at a depth of 2-3 cm, fruiting does not resume.
Maslata grow in groups in pine, birch and oak forests. These mushrooms love a temperate cool climate and sunny places. Look for them in the glades and edges.
Important! It is strictly not recommended to collect oil in environmentally hazardous areas: in city parks or along busy roads. Absolutely all the mushrooms growing near the roads accumulate harmful substances from automotive exhaust gases.
When self-collecting better to take young mushrooms. Prefer small or medium (the size of the caps should not exceed 6-8 cm in diameter). Do not be tempted by very large samples.
Large sizes are characteristic of old fungi, which may contain toxic substances. Without regret, reject and randomly collected wormy specimens. Maslata is a rather perishable product, which is a good breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, when self-collecting does not need to carry them all home. It is necessary to make a preliminary selection and cleaning of garbage still in the forest.
Proper processing of the oil also includes their obligatory washing, cleaning and subsequent boiling or freezing. Moreover, all these processes must be performed on the day of collection or no later than the next morning.
It is especially important not to neglect this rule when storing mushrooms for future use (canning), because many bacteria that die during heat treatment in pickled mushrooms can persist.
At the time of buying
If you don’t have to pick your own mushrooms, or you haven’t come across oil products yet, you need to know a few important rules for choosing quality and fresh specimens in the right places. In stores, this variety is rare, since it is not grown in an artificial environment. More often they are sold in the markets and around the markets. Only one way out - it is best to buy mushrooms in food markets. There, too, there is a risk of poisoning, but significantly less.
It is believed that in the grocery market, experts check a few mushrooms from the lot for worminess and freshness.
Important! Professional mushroom pickers strongly recommend not to buy products from hands. Avoid also spontaneous markets. In the search for goods for sale, distributors do not go far into the forest, but try to pick mushrooms in roadside landings or along roads.
To significantly reduce the risk of poisoning, follow these simple rules:
- as in the gathering in the forest, choose only small and medium sized booms on the market - young samples do not have time to absorb toxic substances;
- explore mushrooms to the touch - they must be elastic;
- never buy a product in which the leg or cap is watery or immediately turns into dust;
- fresh mushrooms should be free from any wilting symptoms or other suspicious signs.
