Mushroom places in Naberezhnye Chelny
Where mushrooms grow
The best time to collect is before dawn or early morning. At this time, there are no people and the object of the search is better visible.
As you know, mushrooms grow in the forest. However, according to the most experienced lovers of "quiet hunting", the most mushroom meadows are located on the borders of the forest. Especially in the south.
Mushroom pickers naively believe that mushrooms do not grow along roads. It's a delusion. The fact is that it is on the trails that mushroom hunters clean and sort them out, throwing out unnecessary ones (which often give rise to a new colony). Pay attention to the places along the trails. Also, according to the experience of many mushroom pickers, the richest fields of mushrooms are located next to power lines. Not to be found in swamps, they dislike wet peat soil.
Mushroom picker landmarks
Signs of mushroom growth for lovers of quiet hunting:
- If there is a trail near the coniferous forest, along which the cows are chased, hurry there, you will certainly find boletus there.
- In addition, there are always many fly agarics growing next to porcini mushrooms - be guided by them.
- If you see a large accumulation of mold on the ground, be sure to remember the place, milk mushrooms will appear here soon.
- In pine forests, in addition to the porcini mushroom, you can find mushrooms, russula and boletus.
- Spruce forests are rich in saffron milk caps, chanterelles, wild mushrooms, morels and honey agarics.
- Having found chanterelles - remember their location, because in a couple of weeks boletus will appear in this place.
- Aspen boletuses prefer meadows where aspen and birch trees grow equally.
- Another faithful companion of the boletus is the fern. If you see thickets, there will be boletus boletus.
- fungi usually grow in families. If you see one mushroom - do not hesitate, its "relatives" are nearby. If August and September are warm and dry, you should look in the shade of trees. If it rains, look in sunny meadows.
What to take with you to the forest
Young mushrooms are less likely to be damaged by worms
On the "hunt", mushroom lovers recommend taking a spacious basket or bucket, because in the bag, the mushrooms crumple, losing not only their integrity, but also their unique taste. A headdress is required, because in September the peak of tick activity begins.
Dress for mushroom picking should be appropriate for the weather. If the clothes are chosen correctly, they will not restrict movement and will protect against blood-sucking arthropods. There must be long sleeves and a closed neck. A scarf or kerchief is suitable to protect the neck. Of course, a camouflage army uniform is ideal.
It is advisable to treat the skin with insect repellents. Check your clothes every 2 hours for ticks, and in the event of a bite, go to the hospital immediately upon return. Do not count on repellents - their duration in the forest is usually no more than 1 hour.
Use a knife to separate the mushroom from the ground. Try not to damage the integrity of the mycelium, otherwise nothing else will grow in this place.
You can take a disposable plastic raincoat with you.
If children go to the forest to pick mushrooms, dress them brighter so that you can see even with peripheral vision.
There are many snakes in Tatarstan, therefore, when going into the forest, do not forget to wear high shoes and look carefully at your feet.
Useful advice! The younger the mushroom looks, the less likely it is to be infected with worms.

Conclusion
You have learned where the most popular mushroom trails are, but with due care, at this time of the year you can get a full basket in almost any, even a small forest.
Irina Selyutina (Biologist):
It is also important not to forget:
- You can not collect old, overgrown mushrooms - products of protein decomposition appear in them, because the role predetermined by nature for the fruit body - the formation, maturation and spread of spores has already been fulfilled.
- Do not put mushrooms in plastic bags - in this case, they get very hot in the sun and deteriorate. The same happens when collecting mushrooms in buckets (it doesn't matter if they are plastic or metal). The ideal option for a mushroom picker would be a basket made of natural vine.
- Always have a knife with you to collect. Although opinions on how to pick mushrooms correctly differ: someone thinks that it is better to cut, and someone is sure that it is better to twist the fruit body out of the soil, it is up to you to decide which way to collect. Just try not to damage the mycelium adjacent to the fruiting body and then new mushrooms will soon appear nearby.
Remember! No matter how vaunted the place would be, experienced mushroom pickers always first go on "exploration". First, to know the amount of work. Secondly, to better navigate the terrain and not get lost.
