Useful tips:
1. Remember that the best time for going to forest for collecting mushrooms is early morning. If you go later than that, all the mushrooms will be probably gathered by other people before you reach your destination.
2. Read carefully descriptions of edible and poisonous mushrooms before going to forest. Do not pick unknown or suspicious mushrooms.
3. Do not pick agaric mushrooms, because they can often be confused with poisonous death cap mushrooms due to their similar look.
4. Do not pick damaged, overgrown, rotten or wormy mushrooms – they are dangerous for your health.
5. Do not collect mushrooms growing along the roads, near dumps, on the territory of industrial plants. Remember that mushrooms perfectly absorb heavy metals, herbicides and radionuclides. Choose an ecologically-clean place.
6. Wash collected mushrooms with fresh water and then boil them few times for 35 minutes, changing water each time.
7. Keep fresh mushrooms at temperature +2-6 С.
