Mushroom pickers know that boletus has one interesting feature- they grow quickly and lose their appetizing shape at the same speed. Therefore, having collected mushrooms in a basket, start processing them on the same day. But what to cook from a delicate product is easy to come up with. As a rule, mushroom caps are used for frying, and boletus legs are used for making mushroom soup. It is about these two recipes that it is worth talking in more detail.
Many people simply love to pick mushrooms, so with the onset of the “quiet hunting” season, a huge number of mushroom pickers rush into the forest for prey. There are many varieties of mushrooms, but not a single mushroom picker will pass by such a "forest dweller" as a boletus. Boletus is a bright representative of mixed forests and birch groves. These are light-loving mushrooms, so they mainly grow along ravines, in clearings and forest edges.
In some regions, local residents specially go to the forest to pick up a full basket of bobs, blackheads, and spikelets. Under these popular names, the boletus mushroom is hidden, the recipes and properties of which are of interest to many nature lovers. This noble inhabitant of the forest belongs to the edible mushrooms of the second category. The colors of the nature that created it are extremely diverse. The most common is the common boletus, but pink, black, marsh, gray, and chess mushrooms are also found. In terms of their taste, all varieties of boletus practically do not differ from each other.
The common boletus is a family of spongy mushrooms, with a characteristic dense convex hat of beige or velvety brown color. The stem of the mushroom is of a dull grayish hue, scaly, slightly thickened below. In general, this is a strong, well-marked mushroom that can be seen from afar.
In addition to the excellent taste of boletus, this mushroom is also very useful. Its pulp contains dietary fiber, easily digestible protein, carbohydrates, fatty acids, disaccharides, monosaccharides, fiber. The boletus is extremely rich in thiamine, niacin, riboflavin (B vitamins), it contains vitamins E, PP, C. It contains micro and macro elements: iron and zinc, potassium and calcium, magnesium and copper, nickel and sodium. This mushroom is rich in amino acids such as arginine, glutamine, leucine, tyrosine. It can be a complete meat substitute during fasting or in a vegetarian diet. There are even more proteins, fats and carbohydrates in dry boletus than in dry mushrooms.
In boletus mushrooms (as in other mushrooms), two substances are especially distinguished: glycogen (animal starch) - plants do not have it, and fungin - a substance similar to chitin, which is difficult to digest. Therefore, in diseases of the kidneys and liver, the stomach, it is better not to use mushrooms, or to use them in minimal quantities. Mushrooms can occasionally cause an exacerbation of eczema. It is better not to give mushrooms to children under 7 years old.
In fairness, it should be noted that with prolonged boiling and sufficient grinding, as well as in combination with other products, mushrooms are absorbed better.

Of course, in terms of mushroom aroma, boletus is inferior to boletus, but in terms of taste it is no worse. It should only be borne in mind that the pulp of this "forest dweller" darkens a little when cooked, unlike white fungus. The boletus is salted, pickled, fried, boiled, dried. It is used to prepare both first and second courses, appetizers and salads, sauces and gravy, and is also used to stuff pies and pancakes. Mushrooms are used as an addition to meat, vegetables, fish and seafood.
