Undoubtedly, the mushroom season is coming to an end this year. Only a few species of mushrooms, mainly arboreal ones, can withstand the first frost. Other less resistant species are unlikely to appear this year.
Niewatpliwie sezon grzybowy dobiega w tym roku do konca. Pierwsze przymrozki wytrzymuja juz nieliczne gatunki grzybow, glownie nadrzewne. Inne gatunki mniej odporne juz sie raczej nie pojawia w tym roku.
One of the late autumn species that grows on the ground is the grayish funnel cake, known as clouded agaric, cloudy clitocybe. This is a quite characteristic mushroom, the cap of which can reach up to 25 cm in diameter. I managed to spot quite large specimens, about 15 cm in diameter.
Jednym z gatunkow pozno jesiennych, ale rosnacych na ziemi jest lejkowka szarawa znana jako clouded agaric, cloudy clitocybe. To dosc charakterystyczny grzyb, ktorego kapelusz moze osiagnac nawet 25 cm srednicy. Mi udalo sie wypatrzyc dosc duze okazy, majace okolo 15 cm srednicy.
The mushroom has a sweetish smell and a slightly mushroomy taste. It is considered a poisonous mushroom, but it can only be eaten after cooking. However, I do not risk it, because this species does not have any outstanding taste.
Grzyb ma slodkawy zapach i lekko grzybowy smak. Uwaza sie, ze jest to grzyb trujacy, ale warunkowo po obgotowaniu mozna go spozywac. Ja jednak nie ryzykuje, gdyz ten gatunek nie posiada wybitnych walorow smakowych.
Initially, the cap is convex, then becomes flat or concave. Its surface is matte and smooth and matte in grey, ash and white. The fungus is quite common. It grows in groups, often in devil's circles from spring to late autumn and early winter.
Poczatkowo kapelusz jest wypukly, potem staje sie plaski lub wklesly. Jego powierzchnia jest matowa i gladka i matowa w kolorze szarym, popielatym, bialym. Grzyb jest dosc powszechny. Rosnie w grupach, czesto w czarcich kregach od wiosny do poznej jesieni, wczesnej zimy.
Another species that we can often meet even in autumn are coral worms and twig worms. The most popular are white ones, and the photo shows a mushroom called crested coral fungus
Inny gatunek, ktory mozemy czesto spotkac nawet jesienia sa koralowki i galeziaki. Najpopularniejsze sa te w kolorze bialym, a na zdjeciu znajduje sie grzyb o nazwie Gozdzienczyk grzebieniasty (crested coral fungus)
The mushroom looks beautiful, but it is inedible
Grzyb pieknie sie prezentuje, jest jednak niejadalny
This year's harvest was not very abundant for me, due to the fact that during the best mushrooming season I was quite far from the country, and when I returned, there were few mushrooms.
Tegoroczne zbiory nie byly dla mnie zbyt obfite, a to za sprawa faktu, ze w najlepszym okresie grzybowym byle dosc daleko od kraju, a gdy juz wrocilem, grzybow bylo niewiele.
Some bay boletes, bolete mushrooms, "maslak" mushrooms and "rydz" mushrooms were enough for a few scrambled eggs and a modest soup. There was not enough for drying and preserving.
Troche podgrzybkow, kozlarzy, maslakow i rydzow starczylo na kilka jajecznic i skromna zupke. Nie wystarczylo na suszenie i wekowanie.
However, I have great memories of last year's season
Za to zeszloroczny sezon wspominam wspaniale
Almost every October trip includes baskets full of mushrooms of all kinds. At times there were so many of them that we didn't know how to process them. But we did it and thanks to that we still have plenty of supplies for the upcoming holidays.
?>Niemalze kazdy pazdziernikowy wyjazd to pelne kosze grzybow wszelakich gatunkow. Momentami bylo ich tak wiele, ze nie wiedzielismy jak je przetworzyc. Ale udalo sie i dzieki temu mamy jeszcze spore zapasy na zblizajace swieta.
Of course, this is the end of the classic mushroom season, where very popular species were collected. Now the season for more experienced mushroom pickers begins, as edible arboreal mushrooms begin to appear.??
Oczywiscie to koniec klasycznego sezonu grzybowe, gdzie zbieralo sie gatunki bardzo popularne. Teraz zaczyna sie sezon dla bardziej doswiadczonych grzybiarzy, bo zaczynaja sie pojawiac jadalne grzyby nadrzewne.??
