Growth conditions and a calendar of mushroom picking. At what temperature do mushrooms grow in the fall?
Autumn is the time for gathering mushrooms. Of course, they grow in summer and in spring, and some species even in winter. But the most correct mushroom is autumn. At what temperature do mushrooms grow in the fall? To answer this question, we must first understand what kind of weather these gifts of the forest like.
Seasonal features of fungal growth
Mushrooms are complex organisms. Most of them - mycelium or mycelium - are hidden from the eyes by a layer of forest humus, and on the surface appear only fruit bodies that attract mushroom pickers. The mycelium grows all year round, so it's not easy to answer the question about the temperature at which mushrooms grow in autumn.
Along with humidity, one of the most important conditionsFruiting for most species is warm earth. Therefore, the first mushrooms appear in the spring. In April-May, when the clearing of snow clearing, felling and forest fires, appear morels and stitches. They open the mushroom season, and then the baton is picked up and other mushrooms.
Closer to the end of May and early June after warmthe first mosses, podberezoviki, and even white ones appear. But this is only scouts, the main layer will be later, when rye is planted. By the way, these fungi are popularly called - kolosoviki.
Podsinoviki, or as they are still called, colorful,red-faced, appear a little later, when the aspen will blossom. At the same time, the colorful hats of russules look out of the grass, and, like orange beads, merry flocks of chanterelles scatter into the moss.
But the summer layers are short - a week, at besttwo, and the fungi disappear, as they were not. A real mushroom only grows up in the autumn, when the braids of birches begin to gild and splash like crimson on the aspen leaves.
Calendar of growth of mushrooms
In order to clarify this question in as much detail as possible,we will use visual material. Below is a table that will tell you when and for what "animal" it is better to go to the forest for lovers of "quiet hunting".
Mushrooms of autumn forest
In autumn almost all kinds of summer mushrooms grow,but there are also new ones, those for which the summer is too hot. This, for example, is an autumn gaff, green, rowing and others. Moreover, in the autumn the growth of mushrooms is the most intensive, since they do not like heat, but in order for the fruit body of most species to start developing, 5-10 aboutC. The temperature at which mushrooms grow in autumn affects the rate of their development: the lower the degree, the slower they grow.
However, not only the temperatureindicators, but also humidity. If the autumn is dry, then the good "catch" of mushrooms can not be counted. However, they do not like prolonged rains either. The experienced mushroom picker will see how the next bad weather spills on the roads with puddles, and sighs with a sorrowful smile: "Mycotic mushroom will get wet!" Mushrooms, of course, will not get wet, it will remain under a thick forest litter of fallen needles and moss, but there really can not be mushrooms.
But light frosts, which are not uncommon in the fall,mushrooms are not terrible. Sometimes on a cold October morning in the forest you can find literally thoroughly frozen white, podberezoviki, krslovlikov, oilyata, honey agarics. Determining at what temperature the fungi grow in autumn in the forest, one should be guided by the average daily values, since the heating of the soil plays a big role in the daytime.
When the frost hits
Severe frost can survive a few of these forest dwellers, and most mushroom pickers believe that in November the season ends. But this is not so.
One of the most cold-resistant mushrooms is honey agaric. The best temperature for their growth varies in the range of +8 ... +12 aboutC. Their funny family grow in the woods and after serious frosts. At what temperature do mushrooms grow in the fall? Winter mushrooms, for example, can be found even in sub-zero temperatures, even under snow.
Not afraid of frosts and winter oyster mushroom, which is not that in November, but in January you can collect.
Growth conditions for ceps
No matter how full the basket of mushrooms, and its luck is judged primarily by the number of white mushrooms.
White, or, as it is also called, a boletus, - mushroomcunning and finicky. Sometimes a half-forest must be bypassed to attack a mushroom spot. But if the conditions are suitable, then on a small patch you can get more than a dozen strong borovichki.
And at what temperature do white mushrooms grow in the fall? Firstly, we note that for white it is not so much the state of the air as the ground that is important. The optimum soil temperature for it is 15-16 degrees Celsius.
But as for air, the conditions for the growth of white mushrooms in the summer and autumn are different. In summer, the boarworms do not like excessive dampness and long rains and prefer a temperature of +18 ... +20 aboutC. Therefore, they hide in the moss and under the thick paws of oil, where it is not very hot.
But already in the second half of September, the weather inthe middle belt of Russia rarely pampers with warmth. At what temperature do mushrooms grow in the fall? Since September, the optimal regime for the growth of ceps is 10-15 degrees Celsius. And they do not interfere with night frosts at all. The main thing is that the air and the soil warm up during the day.
When to collect brown pads in autumn
Underparts, especially young and strong, are in no way inferior to white - even boil, at least dry, at least fry. And if they go a layer, then they can be collected in a relatively small forest not just one bucket.
According to the people's note, the first podberezovikiappear when the mountain ash blossoms, and then for a whole summer forest glades and birch groves do not leave. If, of course, the summer turned out not too hot and arid. But there is a summer podberezovika one drawback - really loves this delicious mushroom worm. So the mushroomer has to reluctantly throw out one mushroom after another.
In the autumn, the pimples are clean and strong. Moreover, there is a special kind of them - with a thick leg and a dark bonnet, to taste almost the same as white. Find it, however, in the fallen foliage is not easy. But if you get caught alone, you can find about ten more around him.
At what temperature grow mushrooms in autumn(podberezoviki)? The temperature regime is almost the same as for whites. For a cheesecake, 10-12 degrees of heat is enough, only these mushrooms love the wetter weather, and not prolonged rains, but thick autumn fogs. And if the autumn is dry, then podberezoviki should be looked for in damp places, in lowlands and even in a swamp.
A good mushroom picker knows at what temperaturegrow mushrooms. In the autumn in the woods he will quickly pick up a basket, or even pull out a package - not to leave white and oily beetles under the fur-trees and birches, boletus and buntings, pancakes, mushrooms and freckles! And if it attacks, it will not be enough for any packets.
