An ordinary butterdish is the customary name for these edible mushrooms. You will see them only as part of whole families.
For ordinary people, this information will say little. I would like to understand the question and understand: where does the fungus have such a funny name from, why does it have such a specific hat? Let's try to understand a difficult question with simple concepts?
Why is mushroom oiler so called?
The name of the fungus has a clear etymology. The reason lies in the hat. With high humidity, it becomes oily, since mucus accumulates on it. It is always very wet, or rather, oily.
Not only the top layer of the hat is “to blame” in the name. The flesh of a pale yellow color is very similar to a delicious homemade butter. In addition, even in finished form, the mushroom looks as if it was abundantly watered with sunflower oil. And it doesn’t matter if it is a pickled, salted or boiled representative of this family.
Interesting fact: butterflies always grow only in the direction of the light, therefore this group of mushrooms physically cannot be direct, as it is affected by “solar attraction”.
Hat oiler
The oiler hat grows up to 10 cm in diameter. Initially, it is convex, but over time it becomes flat. As a "highlight" acts a tubercle in the middle. Since the hat is sticky and mucous, the needles always stick to it.
“Youth” is very easy to find among butterflies: there will be a transparent white film on the inside of the hat,enveloping her with a ring. As the mushroom “grows older,” the film will lose transparency, becoming a darker shade.
Interesting fact: butterfish are banned in a number of countries, considered there to be poisonous mushrooms. A vivid example of this is Germany and England.
The coloring of the cap is also interesting. The butterdish is still that dandy. Most often, the color of the hat is brown with a pleasant chocolate tint. Sometimes there are purple notes. But it doesn’t always be like that, as it fades over time, becoming yellow sometimes with gray spots.
How do oils grow?
Usually grow oily in young pine forests. As soon as you find them, you just want to exclaim: "What are pretty!" It is as if they are gathering in a company and waiting for a person to find them.
To replace meat: it is proved that the nutritional and taste characteristics of fried butter are similar to chicken meat.
This is a huge genus, which has over 40 subspecies. Each has its own characteristics:
- external differences (non-significant)
- habitats
- collection time.
Interesting fact: Do you need vitamins? Butterflies are famous for synthesizing the greatest amount of vitamin D.
These mushrooms cannot live without light and low grass, therefore they grow in fallen needles, and you can definitely meet them in clearings and cozy clearings illuminated by the sun.
What is the name of the butterdish in other countries?
In English, there are several options for the name of such mushrooms:
- Butter mushroom is a more conversational version, which translates as "butter mushroom".
- The scientific option is Boletus luteus.
It is difficult to say who first described this genus of fungi, since each subspecies has its own researchers and admirers. One thing is for sure - the people's love of butter will only grow stronger!
