Mushroom pickers know that they need to go for rich prey to ecologically clean areas remote from the city. Mushrooms of the Nizhny Novgorod region in 2019 are available for harvest from late spring to mid-autumn.
Mushroom places of the Nizhny Novgorod region in 2019
Features of mushroom places
The mushroom places of the Nizhny Novgorod region are located at a great distance from the city - from 20 to 150 km. They seem small on the map, but in reality it will take a long time to get there. It is important to wear comfortable clothes and shoes, take a map, flashlight, matches and charge phones.
Each type of forest is characterized by different mushrooms:
- Deciduous: they collect boletus mushrooms, russula, milk mushrooms, ryadovki, porcini mushrooms. You can find value, oak, flywheel.
- Conifers: they are preferred by aspen mushrooms, honey mushrooms, aspen milk mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, winter mushrooms.
- Mixed: makes it possible to collect almost all types of mushrooms: porcini, tinder fungi, hanging mushrooms, boletus.
The fruiting period of the species differs with the seasons. They grow actively in the fall, but it is also possible to harvest a good harvest in early and mid-summer. Summer 2019 will show how rich he will be in the fall.
Be sure to carefully consider the chosen mushroom. If this species is unknown to you or raises doubts (no matter what), it is better to leave it in place. In order not to be mistaken and to collect a full basket, it is necessary to choose young dense forests, bathed in the sun and with high humidity, but not damp.
Places to collect
The Nizhny Novgorod region has a favorable climate for "quiet hunting".
Within a radius of 50 km from the city
Places closest to the city (up to 50 km):
- Big Pikino;
- Pyra;
- Yasenevo;
- Severe woman;
- Tarasikha.
The outskirts of the village of Bolshoye Pikino in the Bor region are rich in mushrooms. It is located 20 km from the city when crossing the Bor bridge.
Pyra in the Volodarsky district is popular among local and visiting mushroom pickers. It is located almost nearby - 30 km from the city. Collected trophies should be used with caution: chemical plants are located not far from the site. And this means that in the fruiting bodies there are probably a variety of "superfluous" compounds.
In the Balakhinsky district, the village of Yasenevo is undeservedly deprived of the attention of mushroom pickers. It is located just 40 km from the city. The catch here will be varied.
There are almost no deciduous and coniferous forests in Surovatikha, Dalskostantinovsky district (50 km from the city). But the natural relief (ravines, country roads, small plantings) allows you to collect a decent harvest of various mushrooms in the summer.
There are many mixed forests in the village of Tarasikha, Semyonovsky District, so every year both locals and visitors go on a "quiet hunt". Distance from the city is only 44 km.
Within a radius of more than 50 km
Mushroom spots are in high demand
Within a radius of 150 km from the city, mushroom places are as follows:
- Kerzhenets;
- Vladimirskoe;
- Shemanikha;
- Fedurino;
- Kovernino.
The closest of all mushroom places is Fedurino in Gorodetsky district. You will have to go towards the Gorky reservoir - about 65 km. The area is characterized by a temperate and humid climate that favors the growth of mushrooms and berries.
Kerzhenets is located 88 km from Novgorod in the Semenovsky District. Here they "hunt" on steep coastal slopes and in deciduous plantations. However, getting carried away with mushroom picking should not forget about personal safety.
Kovernino, district of the same name, is located in a wooded area. Due to the variety of plantings, almost all types of mushrooms are harvested here. This place is popular in the summer season: mushrooms actively grow in the forests even during a drought. It will take 120 km to get to the place from the center of the region.
Vladimirskoe (Voskresensky district) is located in the same radius. In any season, a good harvest of forest gifts is harvested here. The places are swampy, wooded. Vladimirskoe is not close, but mushroom spots are in great demand here.
The most distant point will be Shemanikha in the Krasnobokovsky district. You will have to go to the border of 2 regions about 150-155 km. It's cool and humid here, so the catch will be pretty decent. First, young seasonal species are collected for pickling: milk mushrooms and russula.
Shemanikha is also one of the most environmentally friendly places for collecting edible forest trophies. It is located in a dense plantation strip away from factories and factories.
Precautions
When picking mushrooms away from home, follow the rules:
- Each cut mushroom is carefully examined: the slightest missing sign of a poisonous fruiting body can cost you your life.
- Edible mushrooms are not harvested in big cities and near highways: they are toxic, since the mycelium has absorbed toxic chemicals.
- Tell friends where they are going and when they will return to avoid unpleasant situations.
Irina Selyutina (Biologist):
Not suitable for harvesting "forest meat" are:
- Places with an unfavorable ecological situation: if there are salts of heavy metals, as well as pesticides in soil, wood, forest litter, then they will definitely end up in mushrooms, which are natural "sponges". The concentration of these toxic compounds will eventually become higher than in the environment.
- Road sides: here, fungi absorb compounds from the exhaust gases of passing cars: these are oxides of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen. They enter the soil and air during fuel combustion. Once in the human body, they act as toxins. Therefore, picking of mushrooms and berries is allowed by Rospotrebnadzor at a distance of at least 500 m from a country road or 1 km from a federal highway.
- Picking mushrooms is also not recommended near:
- railway;
- factories, factories;
- nuclear power plants;
- oil storage facilities;
- farmland.
Also, Rospotrebnadzor does not recommend buying mushrooms from random sellers along the roads, because:
- in case of poisoning, there will be no one to make a claim;
- a person may not understand mushrooms and he may have poisonous specimens among the edibles;
- sellers can trade mushrooms harvested from infected areas (railway, highway, dump, etc.).
The farther from the road, city, landfill, etc. The safer the mushrooms will be. This is important to remember for everyone who wants to enjoy the gifts of the forest, and not “rest” in a hospital bed.
