Species features
Fragrant and appetizing boletus and boletus mushrooms have always been an integral food in Russia. Despite the fact that both species are similar to each other, they nevertheless have significant differences.
Boletus
Walking along the birch grove, especially in those places where the sun warms the earth well, you can often find a boletus mushroom - tall, slender, with a long leg and in a beautiful convex hat, which over time becomes like a pillow. Its diameter can reach 15 cm. Its appearance looks like a boletus edulis mushroom, but in contrast to it, the leg of the boletus is covered with small gray or black scales.
The color of the fruit varies depending on the place of growth and can be from light beige to black and brown. There are several types of boletus: Common, Swamp (or White), Black, Rose, Tundra, Harsh, Gray and Colorful.
Most often found common boletus. It is recognized by its uniform color and leg, which thickens from below. Love him not only for taste. Pereberezik cleanses the body of toxins, positively affects the nervous state, regulates blood sugar, helps with kidney problems, has a beneficial effect on the skin and is not at all high-calorie (only 20 kcal per 100 g) and is rich in various trace elements needed by the body.
Boletus
In mixed forests and an aspen grove, mushrooms with bright red hats and a scaly chunky leg can be found. These are the boletus. They got this name because of their color, which is very similar to the autumn leaves of aspen.
But contrary to popular belief that these mushrooms grow only near aspen, they can be seen under oaks, lindens, poplars, willows and other trees. They love to live in a humid environment among moss, thickets of blueberries, grass and fern.
Boletus are several types. The most famous: Red, Painted, White and Oak. Boletus is very valuable for its healing properties. It is believed that they purify the blood, help reduce cholesterol, remove salts of heavy metals, poisons and radionuclides, have an antitumor effect, favor the normalization of intestinal microflora, and increase immunity.
Cooking preparation
Recommendations for the preparation of common for boletus and boletus. In order for the mushrooms to bring maximum benefit and not harm, they must be properly processed. Returning from the forest, carefully review your "prey." Remove debris, grass or leaves trapped in the basket, cut off particles of mycelium and earth.
For processing, you need to choose only good quality fruits, young and healthy. You need to know that they can have worms. To check this, you can simply cut and well check both the legs and the hat. If there is even the least doubt about the safety of the fungus, it is better to throw it out.
After this, the forest harvest must be thoroughly washed under running water. Then gently peel the fruit with a knife, while removing the film. Soaking them in cold water is advisable. This is necessary not only for bitterness to come out. This is very important to avoid poisoning, as mushrooms easily absorb toxic substances in the air and in the soil.
Differences in the heat treatment of both types of mushrooms
Despite the similarities, aspen and boletus are still different, and therefore there are differences in their preparation.
How to cook boletus and boletus?
Pure boletus, preferably freshly picked, is poured with cold water, heated, salted and gradually stirring, brought to a boil. During the cooking process, a foam appears that needs to be removed. This is convenient to do with a slotted spoon.
After the broth boils, cook for another 20 minutes over low heat. Experienced mushroom pickers advise changing the water and after boiling simmer over low heat for another 5 minutes.
Boletus boiled for a little longer. Most often, this process takes about 40 minutes. It is believed that all toxins and toxic substances should be released during this time.
People say that they also need to be boiled not in one water, but in two, and some housewives put the onion in the pan - if it turns blue, it means the mushrooms are poisonous. In no case should you eat them. If the brown boletus sank to the bottom, then they are welded correctly.
Cooking before frying
It is important to note that mushrooms must be boiled before frying, which is explained by the unfavorable environmental situation. However, it is not worth digesting them, since useful properties are lost during the cooking process.

- And most importantly, the destruction of toxins.
Cooking before salting

But as mentioned above, it is advisable to boil them twice - the second time after changing the water for 5 minutes.
