In the large Maslenkov family there are many edible representatives of the species. The yellow-brown oiler is one of them. It also received other names: motley butterfly, marsh moss, yellow-brown moss. This is a typical inhabitant of deciduous and mixed forests, which grows in large families, mainly on sandy soil.
Description of yellow-brown oiler
Suillusvariegatus or swamp flywheel (marsh mushroom, variegated mushroom) is a rather large mushroom with a thick, fleshy stem.It got its name from the rich yellow color of its cap.
Description of the cap
The mire's cap is semicircular, convex, and over time becomes flatter (cushion-shaped), with a convex tubercle in the center. The diameter of the cap of a young moth fly does not exceed 5 cm, in older representatives of the species it reaches 15 cm. The surface of the cap of a young moss fly is a marsh olive color; over time it cracks and becomes yellow, brown, ocher, with small stains and light brown scales.
The reverse side of the yellow-brown flywheel mushroom cap is formed by tubes up to 2 cm in length. At first they grow to the stem, and over time they remain only on the cap. They are covered with shallow pores in young flywheels, and in older ones the pores become deeper. When cut, the boletus cap may darken.
The surface of the bog fly cap is covered with a skin that is difficult to peel off. In humid climates it can take on a glossy sheen. In dry weather it becomes completely matte.
Description of the leg
The leg of the pest is dirty yellow in color, cylindrical in shape, strong, thick, stable, grows up to 10 cm in length and up to 3 cm in diameter. Its surface is smooth and brown. In the lower part, the leg may become reddish or orange, closer to the mycelium it turns white.
Is Tan Butterfly Edible or Not?
Moss mushroom is an edible representative of Maslenkovyh, with a pronounced pine aroma of the pulp. It is tough, its color can vary from light yellow to lemon color. If you cut the flesh, it instantly turns blue. The taste of the yellow-brown butterdish, the photo and description of which is given above, is unexpressed; the mushroom does not differ in any special gastronomic qualities; it is classified in category 3.But in pickled form, this species is quite good.
Where and how does the yellow-brown variegated oiler grow?
You can find the mire on the edges of coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests. It prefers sandy or rocky, well-moistened soils, covered with moss, and illuminated places. Often the pied can be found among swamps, surrounded by pine trees. But forest representatives of the species have a richer taste and regular shape, while swamp ones may have a metallic taste to the pulp. Usually the swamp flywheel grows in large families, but single specimens can also be found.
You can harvest a bountiful harvest of the variegated mushroom as in the photo from June to November. The swamp plant continuously produces new fungi during this period. Up to several buckets of forest gifts in one trip can be collected 3 days after a good torrential rain, if collected in wet weather, at a temperature no higher than + 16 ᵒC.
In Russia, Suillusvariegatus grows in all regions with a temperate climate, mainly in the central and southern parts of the country. In Europe, flywheel can be found in forests everywhere.
They collect pied fish near swamps and pine trees, on the edges of forests illuminated by the sun. It and other members of the family can be found under piles of fallen pine needles. If one swamp grass was found under a tree, you should also look for its brothers - they always grow in large families. The pestle is carefully cut along the stem with a knife, trying not to damage the mycelium.
Twins of the yellow-brown oiler and their differences
There are no poisonous mushrooms in nature that can be confused with boletus mushrooms. The swamp mushroom has counterparts among edible and conditionally edible mushrooms.
- Oiler yellowish (swamp) - false yellow-brown oiler.It grows only in swamps and differs from the mire in its thin, curved stem (up to 1 cm in diameter) and small size (its cap does not exceed 7 cm in diameter). The stalk of such a mushroom has a glandular ring, which Suillusvariegatus does not have. This mushroom species belongs to category 4; it is considered conditionally edible due to its mediocre taste.
- Kozlyak is a larger species than Suillusvariegatus. Its cap is more voluminous and larger in diameter, the edges are turned up, and is often covered with mucus in a humid environment. The main difference is the yellow-brown color of the tubular layer, whereas in the pied it is yellow. Kozlyak has a pronounced mushroom taste, and bolotovik has a coniferous taste. Kozlyak is classified as an edible mushroom species.
- Another representative of the Maslenkov family, which is very similar to the moss fly - cedar oiler. This is an edible species that can be eaten without danger.
Distinctive features:
- the flesh of the pine mushroom does not turn blue at the cut site;
- its cap is sticky and smooth, while that of the mire is covered with rough scales;
- On the stem of the cedar oiler there are brown growths of yellow and brown color.
How to prepare yellow-brown boletus
Cooking the variegated mushroom is not difficult: you don’t need to boil it several times, you can simply rinse it under running water and fry it in a frying pan. But, as experienced mushroom pickers advise, it is best to marinate the mushroom mushroom. Preparing a yellow-brown butter dish by marinating will remove the specific metallic taste and pine smell. There are many options for this method of cooking mushrooms.The recipe for making yellow-brown butterdish must include spices and vinegar, so the mushroom turns out especially tasty.
Conclusion
The yellow-brown butterdish is an edible mushroom that does not have a high taste. But there is quite a lot of it in Russian forests, so mushroom pickers often use mushroom mushrooms to prepare dishes from forest gifts. The metallic taste of the pulp and the strong pine aroma do not allow you to cook soup or roast from the pied pied. The best way to consume it is pickling.
