How to cook whites

The name of the mushrooms is more familiar than the whitefish. Meanwhile, the whites are just the same waves with hats of white and milky colors. Just like ordinary waves, they have patterns in the form of concentric circles on their hats. Under the hat, you can also find a kind of fluffy fringe, which is a distinctive feature of all waves from other similar mushrooms. White waves differ only in slightly smaller caps, they rarely exceed 5-6 cm in diameter.Young mushrooms with a cap diameter of about 3-4 cm are often found.

When cutting off the whites, white milk juice is released from them, which is very bitter, although the aroma comes from them pleasant, filled with freshness. It is because of the bitter taste that these mushrooms are conditionally edible. Although this only means that they cannot be consumed fresh. It is possible to cook various dishes from them only after special processing, when the whites turn into mushrooms that are very tasty and healthy in their composition.
