It is very rare to find mushrooms in the forestpoddubikov. This is a kind of tubular called Boletus luridus, which grow in deciduous forests and form mycorrhizas with oaks and lindens. Mushroom poddubovik can be confused with white because of external similarities. The fruiting body has a dense fleshy leg and a rounded cap. But there are a lot of differences, the main thing is the blue flesh on the cut.
In many regions it is increasingly possible to meetbitter analogue - Boletus radicans. But it has several other forms and looks more like an overgrown moss. The places of distribution are the same as those of edible brothers. Below is a bitter mushroom poddubovik (photo 2).
Edible fungi start to grow poddubovikirelatively early - from the end of May and the beginning of June. Then there is a break for two months, and in early August and before frosts they appear again. They are much less common than other tubular species. It is a great success to find them in hardwood more often. After all, the fungi of the puffs have a pleasant taste and an excellent aroma. And they are very fond of forest rodents. And if you are lucky enough to find a unbroken boletus, then this can be considered a double success. Usually mushrooms podduboviki roll with already bitten leg.
The leg is a cylindrical barrel of bright yellowcolor with a distinct reddish mesh over the entire surface. The diameter reaches 2-5 cm, and the height - only 4-12 cm. Poddubovik looks very stocky and dense warrior. At the point of contact with the ground the leg is slightly thickened and has a very dark reddish hue, sometimes brown or black. The flesh is also red at the base, higher, closer to the cap, it is yellow. When notched, it becomes green, and then turns blue. It has a delicate characteristic aroma.
A poddubovik can have different shade hats: from light olive to bright orange, often yellow, brown, sometimes even red. The surface is smooth, without wrinkles, dry, velvety to the touch. At old fruiting bodies it becomes naked, at pressing clearly visible blue prints. At the very beginning of growth, the cap is firmly pressed against the leg, its edges are bent downward. Later it opens slightly, but always remains spherical, round, with a yellow tubular bottom layer. In the largest specimens, the diameter of the cap reaches 20 cm, but usually the dimensions are much more modest - from 7 to 12 cm.
Mushrooms podduboviki edible, they are used in fried and boiled form and for making sauces. The first broth after boiling should be drained, repeated boiling is necessary for 10-15 minutes.
According to some sources, cooked podduboviki can not be combined with alcohol.
When processing Boletus luridus on the fingers remainssame bluish coating. By the bluish pulp, the poddubovik can be distinguished from its twin - a mushroom. The outlines of mushrooms are very similar, but the coloring will not allow an experienced mushroom picker to confuse them. The white never has a grid pattern on the leg, in the case of the boleth, it is clearly pronounced, and the red mesh is superimposed on the yellow background. The flesh is also of a lemon color, and the fungus itself refers to the sinewy tubular.
