Many people who go out of town in the early spring like to wander through the forest in search of mushrooms. But do not forget that any mushrooms (including morels and stitches) have both benefit and harm. Even inveterate mushroom pickers sometimes do not know all the subtleties of mushroom dishes.
The difference between morels and morels from the lines
The first in the woods are morels and stitches. If you go to the forest just behind them, then you should pay attention to a fairly large brown mushrooms that have a fold-shaped cap. On the entire surface of the mushroom cap there are its spores. These will be lines. But the morels look very much like our brain on the leg.
These mushrooms have a wonderful aroma and extraordinary taste. There is even a belief that these mushrooms have medicinal properties. Is this really so?
Yes, indeed, thanks to modern technological studies it was found that these fungi carry a lot of benefits for the body. In particular, they contain a substance that is so necessary for our eyes. Their use is advised to people with poor eyesight and suffering from clouding in the eyes. They also cleanse the blood well, but to achieve visible results their use should be quite long: about six months.
Which mushroom is edible, morel or stitch?
The line, in fact, is a very dangerous fungus, containing the poison gyrometrin. The same is contained in a pale toadstool and when used in large quantities, it is possible
But the morel is quite safe. Its use does not harm your health in any way, but on the contrary it can even correct it. But it is worth remembering that this mushroom must necessarily undergo the appropriate treatment, and only then it is served to the table.
It is worth noting that mushrooms and morels can be eaten, but you can not marinate and salt. Usually they are dried, boiled or fried. And when drying, it should take as long as 3 months and only then they will be ready for use.
