Mushroom raincoat

The real raincoat mushroom is often called otherwise: dust, hare potatoes, tobacco mushroom or damn tawlin. By the way, a distinctive property of a raincoat is its ability to absorb toxins from the environment in amounts that are several times larger than those characteristic of other macromycetes.

Externally, the raincoat mushroom, which belongs to the Champignon family, is distinguished by a closed rounded or pear-shaped body with a false leg. The skin of the raincoat fuses tightly with the upper part of the fungus, forming a gleb or its inner flesh. During the ripening of the mushroom, voids begin to form in it, which resemble chambers, with a powdery sporous mass of different colors - from rich green to dark brown. The mature fungus raincoat is characterized by a thin peridium, so it often ruptures, releasing spore-bearing powder outside.

The raincoat has many names, but they are all almost always dismissive. More can even be said: during a "quiet" hunt, rarely do mushroom pickers lean over to collect this snow-white mushroom, with some specifically kicking or pressing it with their feet to admire the "splatter" of dust.

But, if you still decided to collect raincoat mushrooms, never do it in damp weather - after a couple of hours, instead of a mushroom there will be something like a wet rag, which, of course, is not suitable for food. In cooking, only young mushrooms are used, which do not need to be soaked or boiled - they are immediately boiled, dried, marinated, fried and salted.

One cannot but say about another property of the raincoat, which is considered an excellent assistant for our body. The fact is that it is able to quickly absorb radionuclides and salts of heavy metals, and then naturally remove them from the human body. Thanks to this ability, a sprinkler based on it even produces various dietary supplements. According to the creators of the drugs, in addition to cleansing the body, the effective cosmetic effect of the raincoat is also known, which can give the skin elasticity and elasticity.

Types of raincoats

Among the many species of raincoats, the spike raincoat mushroom stands out, which is quite common in forests, wastelands and meadows. It gets its name from the white surface of the fungus, which is covered with easily falling small spines or warts or.

The giant raincoat - the next member of this genus - has a spherical or ovoid shape, yellowish gray or whitish color. Often such a mushroom is covered with rags of a falling shell, and its weight can reach seven kilograms.

Another type of raincoat is a round raincoat with a height of 10 to 15 centimeters. At first, the mushroom is white, after which it begins to turn yellow, at the end it becomes dirty brown.

In addition, there is also an oblong raincoat, which resembles the previous mushroom, but in shape it is club-shaped with thickening in the upper part, and narrowed and barren in the lower.
