Russians called mushrooms, which in any case can not be collected in autumn

In autumn, in the Russian forests you can stumble upon rare mushrooms listed in the Red Book, but to pick them is forbidden. For such actions, a fine is due, and for certain types - even criminal liability, according to the material URA.RU.

Punishment for the collection of red-book mushrooms is provided by article 8.35 of the administrative code of the Russian Federation. Citizens face a fine from 2500 to 5000 rubles, officials - from 15 000 to 20 000, and legal - from 500 000 to 1 000 000 rubles. On top of this, damage is recovered for each destroyed copy.

Among the protected species is the ram mushroom (griffola curly), which grows at the roots of old oaks and reaches 80 centimeters in diameter and 10 kilograms of weight. Another rare specimen is lacquered tinder: in the wild it is included in the federal Red Book, while a cultivated variant known as reishi is grown on specialized farms.

From August to October, in old-growth coniferous forests, curly sparassis, or “mushroom cabbage”, whose fruit body weighs up to 10 kilograms, is found. On the trunks of shrunken trees you can find a coral hedgehog, protected in a number of regions, including the Moscow region.

Matsutake is especially dangerous for mushrooms. In Japan and Korea, it is considered an expensive delicacy, and in Russia, since 2023, the government has included it in the list of especially valuable species - its collection can be criminally liable.

Also under protection are the pine mushroom cereal, minted foam, blue gyroporus and black Russian truffle, which forms a symbiosis with oak, beech and rake on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. For each collected truffle can initiate an administrative case with a request to compensate for damages.

Separately, the publication highlights the Caesar mushroom - an edible flyfish found in the North Caucasus, in the oak trees of the Crimea and in Primorye. It is included in the Red Book of Crimea. At the same time, as noted in the material, there is a serious danger of confusing it at the stage of the "egg" with a deadly poisonous pale toadstool, and in the adult state - with other types of flies.

Earlier in the elk island found marsupial mushroom. It looks like pink jelly and changes behavior depending on the weather.

Also, biologist Dmitry Safonov revealed where to look for white, foxes and opsimos in the suburbs in September.
