What does a red oil can look like?

To fill your basket with tasty and healthy mushrooms, you need to be able to distinguish them. The fact is that not all fruiting bodies can be eaten. Among the butter, there are those that should be avoided. A description of the mushroom will be presented below.

Description of the hat

First of all, mushroom pickers pay attention to the hat. Its diameter ranges from 3.5 to 11 cm. In a young fruiting body, the cap is represented by a hemisphere. As it grows, it changes shape. She straightens, a bulge appears. Old mushrooms can be identified by straight caps, the edges of which are most often bent upwards, and the middle is depressed.

Young Suillus collinitus has a sticky skin around the entire circumference of the cap, which covers the lower part of the cap. At first it is red, as it grows, the color turns brown. During rain, the upper part of the mushroom body is slippery, as if oiled. Hence the name.

The flesh of a young mushroom is dense, tender, then slightly loose, but the color of the lower part is always yellow. The structure is tubular over the entire surface. In these tubes, the spores mature, with which Suillus collinitus reproduces.

Leg description

The height of the leg of the ginger mushroom is 2-7 cm, its thickness is within 1-3 cm. It has the shape of a cylinder, incomplete, and is located in the center. It expands slightly downward. Brown spots are clearly visible on the yellowish surface. There are no rings on the legs.

Attention! In damp weather, the leg turns pink, in hot weather it turns white.

Edible ginger oil can or not

Where and how does the red oil can grow

You can meet Suillus collinitus in almost all mixed and coniferous forests of Russia. Feels great on soil substrates. In the north and in the middle lane, it grows under coniferous trees. In the south - under the pines and cypresses.

In Russian forests, fruiting is long, undulating, in 3 stages:

  1. The first boletus can be harvested in the second half of June under young undergrowth of pines and spruces. An excellent reference point for starting mushroom hunting is the flowering of a pine tree.
  2. The second stage of collection is the end of July, just at this time linden trees begin to bloom in the forest.
  3. The third wave occurs in August-September, right up to the first severe frosts.
Comment! Israelis can feast on Suillus collinitus during December and February days.

Collecting boletus is not difficult, since it is a family mushroom, single individuals are rare. The legs are cut with a sharp knife close to the ground. Large caps with curled edges and wormy boletus should not be collected.

Important! It is impossible to uproot, as this leads to the destruction of the mycelium.

Doubles of a red oil can and their differences

Red boils have twins.They need to be distinguished, since one of them is inedible.

Granular butter dish... It can be distinguished from Suillus collinitus by its whitish stalk. The cap is dark brown with no dark fibers. White drops are visible on the tubular flesh of young mushroom bodies.

Ordinary butter dish... This twin differs from the red fungus by the rings that remain after the destruction of the cover film. The hat is reddish red.

Mediterranean oil can... Unlike its red counterpart, this fruiting body has a light brown cap. The pulp is bright yellow.

Warning! This type should be avoided, since it is unsuitable for cooking, it belongs to inedible mushrooms.

Comment! Before cooking, remove the skin from the caps, since after washing it is impossible to do this. It gets slippery.

If Suillus collinitus is harvested for drying, the skins do not need to be removed.

Conclusion

The red oil can rightfully takes pride of place among mushroom pickers. After all, many tasty and healthy dishes can be prepared from them. The main thing is to make sure that there are no inedible doubles in the basket during collection.
