Chanterelle oil. Chanterelle mushrooms in the herbal pharmacy have Russian roots. The healing properties of chanterelles and their components

Forest mushrooms are not just an excellent snack, but also a way to heal the body during autumn weather. Their healing properties have been known for a long time and were prescribed for the treatment of various ailments. Chanterelles, for example, were used instead of modern antibiotics. Considering that this fungus never accumulates radioactive substances and removes radionuclides, it is not only possible, but also necessary to be treated.

Description of the plant

Common chanterelles (true) are a type of mushroom of the genus Chanterelles. They are found in dry grass, in damp moss, under the litter of coniferous or mixed forests of temperate climates. The fruiting bodies grow in numerous groups, growing especially intensively after prolonged rains. Preference is given only to certain plants: oak, beech, spruce, pine. Other names: cockerel, trumpet cantarella, tubular lobe.

The yellow or orange mushroom is considered one of the most recognizable in the world. The cap in the form of a concave funnel smoothly turns into a solid thick stem. Mushroom pickers even call them the golden flower. The white, dense and fleshy flesh turns slightly red when pressed. Freshly cut mushrooms have a slightly sour taste, the aroma resembles the smell of dried fruit. Collection time starts in June and ends at the end of September. Real chanterelles are never wormy, and the flesh is so dense and elastic that the collected trophies can be placed in large baskets and without fear of the mushrooms becoming wrinkled, broken or deformed.

Important! The real chanterelle has poisonous counterparts, so it is better to go on a quiet hunt for these mushrooms with experienced mushroom pickers.

Experts highly value the healing properties of chanterelle, which are manifested through the following components:

  • vitamins: A, B1, B2, PP, D;
  • beta-carotene;
  • trace elements: zinc, selenium, potassium, copper, manganese, cobalt;
  • macroelements: calcium, phosphorus, sulfur;
  • dietary fiber;
  • squirrel;
  • amino acids;
  • quinomannose polysaccharide;
  • plant ergosterol.

Useful properties of chanterelles

Many components in chanterelle mushrooms give these mushrooms many unique beneficial properties:

  • Ergosterol is a precursor of vitamin D, which enters the human body with food or is synthesized in the skin layers under the influence of sunlight. The plant product ergosterol is not synthesized in animal cells. It is considered an important regulator of calcium and phosphorus levels and is responsible for the balance of microelements and the concentration of electrolytes in the blood. Participates in maintaining tissue mineral density and prevents the occurrence and development of osteoporosis, promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
  • It should be noted that the concentration of vitamin A in orange chanterelles is higher than in pumpkin or carrots. It is the record holder among mushrooms for the concentration of manganese and beta-carotene, which, in fact, colors it orange.

It is worth noting that mushrooms grown in artificial conditions under artificial light have only a small part of their healing qualities.

Thanks to the rich composition of components, chanterelles have the following effects:

  • antiviral;
  • antibacterial;
  • anthelmintic;
  • immunostimulating;
  • restorative;
  • antitumor;
  • accelerating metabolism.

Use in folk medicine

Pharmaceutical companies in Japan and China produce drugs based on the extract or extract of the common chanterelle. From these countries a new and interesting science came to us -
fungotherapy. Fungotherapy is a method of treatment with mushrooms, which are included in medicinal potions along with medicinal herbs. According to this method, only dry chanterelles have full medicinal properties, since heat treatment simply destroys most of the beneficial components, and fungotherapists do not recommend consuming them raw.

Mushrooms are collected, dried, crushed into powder, added to decoctions and infusions for treatment:

  • pancreas;
  • pneumonia;
  • hepatitis A;
  • diabetes;
  • flu, sore throat;
  • inflammatory diseases.

Alcohol tincture is not prescribed for children. Instead, it is recommended to make a water infusion: pour 1 teaspoon of mushroom powder into 150 ml of warm water, let it brew for 30 minutes and drink in two doses along with the sediment. After taking it, you should not eat for half an hour.

You should not make tinctures from fresh mushrooms. The fact is that when fresh they contain a lot of moisture, which evaporates when dried. It is very difficult to prepare a tincture with the correct concentration of beneficial components from fresh raw materials.

Additionally

  • To prevent infection with worms, it is recommended to add dry mushroom powder to dishes as a seasoning. But this should be done after heat treatment, when the temperature of the dish does not exceed 40 degrees.
  • Nutritious mushrooms with low calorie content can successfully become part of the diet menu during weight loss. They not only satiate and satisfy hunger, but also improve intestinal motility, remove broken down fats from the body, normalize fat metabolism, and reduce cholesterol levels. But it is worth remembering that any additives such as salt, sour cream or broth significantly increase the calorie content of the prepared dish. To normalize intestinal function, especially during a long-term mono-diet, a decoction of cones is prescribed.

  • Thanks to the presence of antibiotics, cockerel infusion has long been used to treat boils, abscesses, sore throat, and tuberculosis. Compresses were also prescribed externally to relieve joint pain or abscesses.
  • Dry powder is sometimes prescribed to prevent colds or viral diseases. For the same purposes, it is recommended to include fresh or dried fruits rich in vitamin C in the diet.
  • Healers claim that taking medications from this mushroom helps prevent cancer, but this information has not been scientifically proven.

Contraindications

In addition to the medicinal properties, chanterelle mushrooms also have contraindications for use. Like any other mushrooms, they should not be consumed in large quantities by people with stomach diseases. However, these products are difficult to digest and can cause indigestion or exacerbation of the disease.

Treatment with drugs is prohibited:

  • pregnant and lactating women;
  • people with intolerance to components;
  • with a tendency to upset stool;
  • with exacerbation of ulcers, pancreatitis.

Helpful information

In general, these forest mushrooms are appreciated not only by home cooks, but also by chefs of large restaurants. Firstly, they do not need to be cleaned, soaked in salt water, or sorted. Simply rinse several times. Secondly, with their interesting shape and bright color, they can diversify the taste and decorate any dish. Unlike the usual champignons, these mushrooms collected in the forest are many times tastier and more aromatic than those grown under artificial conditions. Chanterelles are salted, prepared from them into hot and cold appetizers, salads, soups, vegetable and meat dishes, added to julienne, pies, and muffins.

How to collect and store chanterelles

It should be remembered that all healing properties are manifested only in correctly selected and dried raw materials. Experts in alternative medicine recommend preparing it in the following way:

  • dry freshly picked mushrooms in a special dryer or in an oven at a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees;
  • grind the dry raw materials in a coffee grinder, pour into a glass container with a tight lid;
  • Store in a dark place for no longer than 1 year.

Although it is believed that these mushrooms do not accumulate harmful substances, they need to be collected away from large highways and not in an industrial area. If you dry purchased mushrooms, you need to buy them in an area where they grow in large quantities in the natural environment. Frozen semi-finished products sold in supermarkets are not suitable for treatment; they can only be used for cooking.

Fungotherapists assure: forest mushrooms are much more effective than many medicinal herbs and roots. Their action is more powerful and its effect lasts longer. When treated with chanterelles - mushrooms that “turn on” the mechanism of destruction of foreign cells in the human body, the patient can more successfully cope with cancer and more easily endure the consequences of chemotherapy. In addition to fighting tumors and neoplasms, chanterelle mushrooms help in the treatment of:

  • viruses, cytomegalovirus, herpes,
  • colds,
  • problems with the pancreas.

There are several ways to prepare chanterelles to combat helminths.

  1. 1 g of mushroom powder is diluted in a glass of warm water, mixed vigorously and taken twice a day.
  2. 5 g of powder is diluted in 0.5 liters of vodka. After infusing the chanterelles in vodka (for half a month), the composition is taken in 1 tsp. in a day. The course of treatment is 60 days. Disease prevention should be carried out 2 times a year (1 month each).

Method for removing roundworms and pinworms

1 tsp The patient drinks the prepared tincture before bed (3-4 weeks). The recipe for the tincture is very simple: 3 tsp. Chanterelle powder is infused with 150 ml of vodka for half a month.

However, chanterelle mushrooms have both beneficial medicinal properties and contraindications. Children under three years of age, pregnant and lactating women should not use them. When treating with mushroom tincture, the dose for a child aged three to ten years is equal to half the dose for an adult.

Where can I buy chanterelle mushrooms?

You shouldn’t look for it in pharmacies: it’s better to place your order online in our Russian Roots online store or visit one of our stores in Moscow. We deliver goods to residents of other Russian cities by mail. All products have low prices and are available

Chanterelle tincture
Chanterelle tincture I know how to make vodka healthy!.. According to this recipe, not only will vodka become healthy, but you will also have to drink it not in glasses or glasses, but in teaspoons.

First of all, we need ordinary chanterelles. Not animals, but mushrooms.
Chanterelles. Characteristics: No infection can take them. They grow in the forest from early summer to late autumn. Foreigners only buy them. Can be bought at the market. What else? Oh yes, yellow, beautiful... like that...

Do you think we’ll fry it with vodka? No. So, of course, it’s also tasty, which means it’s healthy, but the secret is different!

Chanterelles, as you know, are bought by both Europeans and Chinese, and in general everyone who respects pharmaceuticals buys them.
They mainly go into pharmaceuticals. And we, we... We walk through the forest and don’t even think about the fact that when we put chanterelles in a frying pan, we get nothing but taste from them.

Know-it-all pharmacists understand what the trick is, but remain silent. This is because if people find out, they will become a doctor themselves and will not go to the pharmacy. Goodbye profit.

Chanterelles!
Some will be surprised - just think! We eat chanterelles fried, salted, pickled, what else can we come up with. And the answer is simple: chitinmannose is a capricious substance, does not tolerate heat treatment, and is destroyed at 60 degrees. And salt destroys it and vinegar. So it turns out that there is no benefit, even if you eat a ton of chanterelles.

What doesn’t destroy chitinmannose? Vodka. Alcohol concentration is not higher than 35-38 percent. Not only does it not destroy it, but even preserves it, as it were... preserves it.

The second substance in chanterelles is ergosterol. Egosterol is very active and effectively affects liver enzymes. There is such a herb - “milk thistle”. Egosterol is mainly extracted from it and tablets “Karsila”, “Essentiale-Forte” and the like are made for the prevention of liver diseases. But most of all it (egosterol) is contained... in chanterelles!
The liver is a filter. Moreover, permanent, built-in, so to speak! And the cause of many diseases is the insufficient functionality of this filter. Simply put, he is dirty. Egosterol activates liver enzymes and acts as a preventive measure against dirt, which doctors call “fatty degeneration.” (I’m not a pharmacist or a doctor, so I’ll make a reservation right away: I know this exclusively from books and the Internet, so those in the know can correct me in detail).
Egosterol is used for diseases of the pancreas, for example, in the treatment and prevention of diabetes.

Thirdly, chanterelles contain trametonolinic acid. This interesting substance does not cause any harm, like the previous ones, but there are studies of its positive effect on the hepatitis virus. Here and there there are reports of successful prevention of cancer.

If you add to these three “benefits” an antitumor, immunostimulating effect, vitamin A, which is ten times more in chanterelles than in carrots, then these mushrooms have no price. Baba Yaga said that she collects fly agarics only for show, in order to confuse people, but in fact she makes all her potions from chanterelles.

People have long ago figured out chanterelles, but one thing is bad - all the most useful things are lost when the mushrooms get into the frying pan.

So what to do? Yes, in principle, you don’t need to do anything - eat as you ate, it’s delicious!
But leave a little not for food, but for benefit.

CHANTERELLE TINCTURE

Two hundred grams of fresh chanterelles, five hundred grams of vodka. Wash the chanterelles (do not dry them), crumble them and put them in a decanter while they are wet (why, I’ll explain in a moment). Pour vodka and refrigerate for two weeks. After which you can take a preventive remedy from chanterelles - a teaspoon in a glass of water before meals once a day - this is enough. (That’s the thing - vodka destroys the liver, but vodka with chanterelles restores it).
Why shouldn't you dry mushrooms? The alcohol concentration at which all beneficial substances are not destroyed, but all the listed riches are preserved, is somewhere in the range of 35 - 38 percent. In fact, this is what vodka is, but just in case, let’s play it safe and dilute it a little.

After two weeks, the tincture is ready. It will be lemon-yellow in color on top, and if you shake it, it will be a little cloudy. The smell is very specific - you've never tried anything like it before. Do not be afraid! I tried. I’ve been alive for a year now and, most importantly, healthy. There is no need to filter the tincture under any circumstances. On the contrary, shake before use. Well... I'm waiting for non-deadly responses!

Chanterelle tincture

To treat helminthiasis, herbalists advise using an alcoholic infusion of chanterelles. 2 tbsp. spoons of chopped fresh chanterelles or 3 teaspoons with dried mushrooms, pour 150 ml of vodka, leave for 2 weeks in the refrigerator, and then, without filtering, take a teaspoon at night.

Common chanterelles are small mushrooms, yellow-orange in color, and belong to the chanterelle family.

Mushrooms grow singly and in large groups in mixed and coniferous forests. The time for collecting chanterelles is June-July, August - October. Chanterelles love to grow in places where spruce, pine and beech trees grow.

The diameter of the mushroom cap reaches 8 cm, the cap looks pressed into the inside, has wavy edges and plates. The surface is smooth, dry and matte, not shiny. The stem grows together with the cap, also has an orange color, and does not exceed 10 cm in length. The flesh of the plant is yellow-white, smells pleasant, and is elastic. The mushroom has a specific smell and is unlike the usual aroma of mushrooms; it is more like the aroma of dried fruits or herbs.

Chemical composition of mushrooms

Chanterelles are mushrooms that are beneficial to the body due to the substances they contain. Chanterelle tincture allows a person to get rid of symptoms and eliminate diseases of the body. The pulp of the plant contains valuable polysaccharides:

Additionally, mushrooms contain vitamin groups, fats, carbohydrates, as well as trace elements, iron, zinc and copper.

  • Chanterelles inhibit the growth and development of the tuberculosis bacillus.
  • Chanterelle tincture is used to eliminate boils, abscesses on the skin, and purulent sore throat.
  • The substances contained in the plant help moisturize the mucous membrane and relieve inflammation. This action is beneficial for the eyes, contributing to the occurrence of night blindness.
  • The vitamin and mineral composition of mushrooms makes it possible to use chanterelles instead of antibiotics.
  • The use of chanterelles for food makes it possible to eliminate and prevent obesity due to the presence of egosterol in the plant. Thanks to the active work of the liver, such symptoms will quickly go away. Additionally, chanterelles can be consumed during radioactive radiation due to their ability to remove everything unnecessary and harmful from the body.
  • Chanterelles are good for the immune system, heart, blood vessels, and also the pancreas.
  • Additionally, mushrooms help eliminate hepatitis C, as well as other liver diseases. This effect is due to the inclusion of egosterol and trametonolinic acid. You can use an infusion to cleanse the liver.
  • Several decades ago, scientists discovered the ability of the mushroom to suppress cancer cells. Additionally, the plants stimulate the functioning of beta cells, which are located in the pancreas.

Fungotherapy, which is one of the areas of Japanese medicine and consists of mushroom treatment, is gaining particular popularity in the world. This elimination involves the treatment of sore throats, abscesses and ulcers using an infusion of chanterelles.

  • vodka – 150 ml;
  • mushrooms – 2 tablespoons.

Wash freshly picked chanterelles thoroughly, dry and finely chop. Place the resulting mushrooms in a convenient glass bowl and pour vodka. Leave in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

Tincture of chanterelles with vodka for the treatment of internal organs

A drug based on this will help rid the body of liver cirrhosis, pancreatic diseases, and hemangioma. Ingredients for cooking:

  • dry chanterelles – 1 spoon;
  • vodka – 200 ml.

Only dried mushrooms are used to prepare the recipe. The mushrooms are first dried and ground into powder. Pour the dry mixture with vodka and leave for 2 weeks. The tincture must be shaken throughout.

Use for the treatment of cirrhosis and pancreas is effective, 1 spoon in the morning. To cleanse the body, use 2 teaspoons in the evening for a course of 2 weeks.
In practice, treatment with tincture makes it possible to eliminate symptoms within 2-5 days after use.

Contraindications of the drug

Chanterelle tincture is an ancient medicine of mankind, but despite this it has contraindications for use. No studies have been conducted regarding contraindications and side effects; everything was learned from experimental use. The mushrooms themselves do not have the ability to cause side effects, and the tincture has its contraindications due to the alcohol content. For people who are intolerant to alcohol, this drug is completely prohibited for use. Additionally, contraindications apply to the use of the drug for diseases of the stomach and intestines.

Experts say that false types of mushrooms are common, which are harmful to the body and contain worms.

It is strictly forbidden to use tinctures for pancreatitis, since mushrooms are difficult for the body, and you should not use them as food. Giving a lot of mushrooms to minor children is strictly prohibited, since vitamin A turns the skin orange and can cause a severe allergic reaction.

Before use, it is important to consult a doctor regarding the dosage and the appropriateness of use in your case.

Chanterelles not only destroy helminths, but also remove toxins from the body

Secrets of the foxes

Orange chanterelles are found throughout temperate coniferous and mixed forests. They prefer damp places, moss, short grass or litter. They grow in numerous groups and appear in abundance after warm rains. The best time for collection is June and August–September.

This is interesting. A characteristic feature of chanterelles is the complete absence of insect larvae and worms in the pulp.

Chemical composition and properties of chanterelle tincture

Tincture is considered the best way to preserve all biologically significant substances contained in chanterelles, and there are many of them. Red-haired girlfriends are rich in vitamins, amino acids, polysaccharides and microelements.

The main and most important ingredient exhibiting anti-invasive activity is quinomannose. The substance found in the spores and pulp of the mushroom has a detrimental effect on worms of all types. A natural anthelmintic envelops worm eggs, dissolves and destroys them. Chitinmannose also acts on sexually mature worms.

No less important is another substance included in the chanterelle tincture - ergosterol (vitamin D2). The organic compound has a beneficial effect on liver cells, restores tissue and prevents various diseases - hemangiomas, hepatitis, cirrhosis. Chanterelles contain more ergosterol than milk thistle.

Mushrooms grown in natural rather than artificial conditions contain a lot of other useful substances.

The most important of them:

  • polysaccharide K-10;
  • vitamins - A, PP, B1;
  • trametonolinic acid;
  • trace elements - zinc, selenium, copper, iron;
  • essential amino acids.

Chanterelle tincture removes radionuclides from the body and destroys Koch bacilli, has a pronounced antibacterial and immunomodulatory effect. That is why the drug is often prescribed for the prevention of radiation sickness and the treatment of tuberculosis.

Attention. Recent studies have found that chanterelles have significant antitumor effects. When taken regularly, the tincture prevents and suppresses the growth of cancer cells.

When starting treatment with chanterelles, you must remember that quinomannose and ergosterol are destroyed under the influence of high temperatures, so there is no point in using fried and boiled mushrooms to combat worms. There will be no benefit from them. Only alcohol is able to fully extract biological substances from raw materials and preserve them in an active state.

How not to make a mistake

Due to their bright and attractive appearance, chanterelles are difficult to confuse with other mushrooms. Only a false fox (orange talker) can mislead. It grows in the same places as the common one, but has some differences that make it possible, upon careful examination, to identify it as a poisonous species.

Attention. Olive omphalot is no less dangerous. In appearance it is very similar to a chanterelle, but to the great relief of mushroom pickers, it is found only in Mediterranean conditions.

In order not to confuse the chanterelle with its poisonous counterpart, you need to know the signs of an edible mushroom:

  • Helpful, beautiful sisters always grow up in a group;
  • a real chanterelle has a cap with torn edges and a thicker leg;
  • If you press on an edible mushroom with your finger, a red mark will remain. The false fox will not change its shade.

Volnushka poisoning is characterized by vomiting, dizziness, confusion, convulsions, and diarrhea. At the first symptoms of malaise, you should immediately rinse your stomach and seek medical help.

Application of tincture

Chanterelle vodka tincture is made from both fresh and dried raw materials. The cooking technology for each case is slightly different, so we will consider both options.

Tincture of fresh chanterelles with vodka

Classic tincture recipe:

  1. Wash and clean fresh chanterelles thoroughly.
  2. Finely chop and place in a glass container.
  3. Pour vodka so that it completely covers the mushrooms.
  4. Seal well and put in a dark place for 21 days.
  5. The composition should be shaken daily.

Attention. The finished tincture is not filtered, but shaken vigorously before each use. Take only on an empty stomach.

The extract has a slightly specific smell, the color is bright yellow, and becomes cloudy when shaken.

Dry chanterelle tincture

If you don't have fresh mushrooms, you can use dried ones. This does not make the quality and beneficial properties of the tincture worse.

Chanterelles are dried in the sun, spread out on clean paper or strung on a thread. The top of the raw material is covered with a thin layer of gauze. Large specimens are cut along the fibers - this significantly speeds up the process.

Dried mushrooms are ground to a powder and stored in glass jars for no more than 12 months, using as needed.

To prepare chanterelle tincture you will need:

  • 12 teaspoons mushroom powder;
  • a liter of vodka with a strength of 36–38 degrees.

The components are mixed well and stored in a dark place for 14 days. The finished tincture is not filtered.

For opisthorchiasis, anthelmintic extract is made according to a different recipe:

  • 200 ml vodka;
  • topped tablespoon of chanterelle powder.

Instructions for use

The daily dosage and frequency of use of chanterelle tincture with vodka depends on the type of disease. The following dosage regimens are most often practiced:

Attention. Anti-cancer treatment with chanterelles is carried out under the strict supervision of a doctor and only as an addition to the main drug therapy.

Contraindications

The use of tincture has a minimum of contraindications and side effects. Taking the drug is not recommended for pregnant women and nursing mothers, and children under 12 years of age, but even these restrictions are not absolute.

In case of urgent need, treatment with mushrooms is permissible for these categories of patients, but only after consultation with a specialist.

In addition to D-mannose, mushrooms contain the polysaccharide beta-glucan. It has a double effect on the human body. The substance has an antihelminthic effect and also activates the human immune system to fight helminths. Beta-glucan protects humans from viruses and bacteria.

The advantage of treating helminthiasis with chanterelle mushroom is that this method has no side effects on the human body.

The tincture actively affects not only worms, but also other microorganisms

Recipe No. 1 for making tincture:

  • 10 grams of dried ground mushrooms are mixed with 150 grams of vodka;
  • insist at room temperature for 10 days.

The finished tincture is stored in a dark glass bottle. After preparation, the medicine does not need to be filtered. Take the tincture after shaking together with the sediment, 2 tsp. daily before bed. The course of treatment with chanterelle tincture is 2 months.

Recipe No. 2 for preparing an infusion with water:

  • For 1 glass of boiled water at room temperature, put 1 tsp. ground mushroom powder;
  • leave for 50–60 minutes.

After infusion, the solution is mixed and taken 2 times a day before meals along with the sediment. The course of treatment with infusion is 20 days, not 2 months, because water extracts active substances from chanterelles, which are easily absorbed from the stomach.

Recipe No. 3:

  • Take dried chanterelles in the form of powder, made at home, 1 tsp. for 2 months.

Recipe No. 4:

  • A ready-made pharmaceutical preparation called “Chanterelle extract”, made in China, is used. The drug is a highly concentrated powder! Adults can take it three times a day, 2 grams half an hour before meals, and children under 10 years old – 1 gram. Treatment takes 2 months.

Chanterelles grow in mixed and coniferous forests. They love to hide among leaves and in thick grass. Therefore, the mushroom cap can be mistaken for a yellow leaf. They are collected in June or from August to October. When picking mushrooms, the stem cannot be cut off with a knife, but should be twisted so as not to spoil the mycelium.

Chanterelles can be dried in various ways, in the sun, in the oven or in the microwave.

  • Keep in the oven at a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Remember that the antihelminthic substances of chanterelles are destroyed at temperatures above 60 degrees. When the mushrooms begin to crumble when squeezed, you can stop drying.
  • The mushrooms are strung on a strong thread and hung in the sun. You can place them on a wire rack in the sun, but make sure they don't touch each other. It will take about a week to dry.

After drying to prepare the medicine, the mushrooms are crushed in a blender or coffee grinder and stored in powder form. The antihelminthic properties of chanterelles are better preserved in powder.

Good day, dear readers! Mushrooms are a high-protein, high-calorie and at the same time dietary food. Among the diversity, the most beautiful chanterelles stand out. Europeans, who are picky about the mushroom menu, even revere dishes made from red-haired beauties.

These gifts of the forest do not lose their buttery, creamy taste even when processed for future use, so it is important to know and be able to prepare chanterelle mushrooms for the winter.

There are different recipes for how to cook chanterelles for the winter, among them we highlight the following:

  • salting;
  • pickling;
  • freezing;
  • canning fried mushrooms;
  • preparing mushroom caviar or solyanka.

In this review we will look at each of the listed methods in detail.

About chanterelles

Before we talk about recipes for preparations, let’s briefly dwell on the description of the mushrooms themselves and where, when and how to collect them correctly.

In central Russia, chanterelles, depending on the amount of precipitation and temperature, are collected from mid-June to the end of October, until the frosts. The greatest likelihood of their appearance in the forest occurs after heavy rains with thunderstorms.

Yellow-orange beauties grow in mixed forests, preferring symbioses with deciduous and coniferous trees, such as:

  • aspen;
  • pine;
  • birch.

In appearance, they are difficult to confuse with other mushrooms; these bright yellow or orange fruiting bodies grow in clearings, often forming “witch circles” around a single tree or bush.

Chanterelles do not have a clear division into a cap and a leg; one smoothly flows into the other. The height of the mushroom does not exceed seven centimeters, and the diameter is twelve.

A distinctive feature is resistance to pests, so even in the hottest weather, red mushrooms are rarely damaged by worms.

Preparing chanterelles for canning

Before you start processing chanterelles, you need to prepare them properly. It is advisable to clean and sort mushrooms directly on the day of collection so that they do not lose their elasticity and freshness.

The procedure is as follows:

  1. Sort through the mushrooms, clearing them of forest debris, paying special attention to the underside of the cap.
  2. Soak the mushrooms for 30-50 minutes in cold water.
  3. Rinse the mushrooms and drain the water.
  4. Boil the mushrooms in boiling water for 15-20 minutes to remove the bitterness from them.

If you are going to process chanterelles and then preserve them in jars, you should prepare the required number of containers of the required volume in advance.

Freezing chanterelle mushrooms

Thanks to the development of household appliances, one of the most popular ways to preserve food, including mushrooms, is freezing. In order to freeze chanterelles, two methods are used:

  • freezing boiled mushrooms;
  • with pre-frying.

These recipes are essentially the same, but the output is different: in the first case, a semi-finished product for preparing first, second courses or salads, in the second, a ready-made dish.

Frying

Chanterelles fried for the winter do not need to be frozen; you can preserve the mushrooms in glass jars. In this case, do this:

  1. Melt butter in a heated frying pan; chanterelles do not taste well with vegetable oil.
  2. Place the boiled mushrooms in a frying pan.
  3. Over low heat, stirring regularly, fry the chanterelles until tender, 30-40 minutes.
  4. Place the mushrooms in pre-sterilized jars.
  5. Pour oil from the frying pan so that it covers the mushrooms with a centimeter layer.
  6. Roll up with sterilized lids.

Store canned food prepared in this way in a cool place, for example, in a cellar. Before use, the mushrooms are fried again, adding onions, leeks or potatoes.

Pickling chanterelles

Chanterelles pickled for the winter will decorate a New Year or other holiday. Among other things, they will add a lively colorful touch to the table design, standing out among the decor as a bright spot of sunshine.
