The mushroom grows quite large. A small fungus has a pinkish hat, but over time it becomes thicker and compacting forms a small depression. This species is also characterized by the presence of a small edge on the edges of the mushroom. Tasty data are growing, as a rule, to groups, mainly in birches. Despite the fact that this type of mushrooms of the “pink wave” is called, the mushroom cap can be not only this color, but also white, orange and even grayish.

Understand how the first differs from the latter, you need to clearly, otherwise you can get a very unpleasant “surprise” in the form of poisoning.

There are excretory and pseudoscience wolfers
Edible false wolfs:
- Mleeper is ordinary
- The lacker is faded
- Mlechik is brown
- So, an ordinary militant, one of the most common false mushrooms. Initially, the color of the mushroom is light gray or blue, but over time, the hat changes color and becomes brownish, yellow. In case of damage to the fungus, the juice that acquires a greenish tint is released
- The faded wave or swamp - significantly differs in the color of the hat, which can be lilac, white, and even grayish.
- The brown milf has a dark color of the hat, from brown to almost black. The hat of an adult mushroom always has a bulge in the center, and there is a small edge on the edges.
Inedible mushrooms similar to waves:

The juice that is secreted by breaking the mushroom has a light green color. A prime mushroom can be pink, reddish and even burgundy-brown.
How to distinguish edible mushrooms of the waves from false ones: signs
Earlier we talked about the appearance of all varieties of waves, as well as how their false brothers look. The question of whether the false inedible mushroom before you is “safe” is very important, because poisoning with these goodies can have a very sad outcome.
So, remember the most important distinctive features of good edible waves:
- Mushroom mainly with a pink hat
- The edges of the mushroom are bent
- If the edible wave is damaged, juice is distinguished. Juice is usually white and caustic smell.

It is important to distinguish the wave from false
When collecting mushrooms, you must first compare all these features and compare them with your “crop”. If the mushrooms you have collected look strange, their hat is not a standard look, that is, curved, clumsy, its color is clearly not pink and most importantly, there is no “fluff”, then such mushrooms must be thrown away.
By collecting this treat, you must understand that it is not only tasty, but also very dangerous, so if the “crop” causes at least the slightest doubt, it is strictly forbidden to use it in food.
The mushroom is the wave of pink: is poisonous or not?
This type of wave is attributed to conditionally edible mushrooms, which means that with proper heat treatment, the mushroom is not toxic. However, it must be remembered that neglect of the rules of cooking can lead to unpleasant consequences.
- Poorly boiled wolfs can cause weak poisoning, which is most often expressed in disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
- The mushroom became "permitted" back in Soviet times. Even then, it was believed that a pink wave is a good delicious mushroom. Most often, these mushrooms are consumed in pickled or salted food. Young saline mushrooms are considered to be especially tasty and valuable.

Pink wave
By the way, if you have a desire to salute mushrooms, read the rules of this procedure well:
- Before direct cooking, pink waves must be thoroughly washed, soaked in cold water (this is necessary in order to remove the bitterness inherent in this type of delicacy).
- Then it is necessary to blanch them and only after do all the necessary manipulations.
- Before eating, salted mushrooms should “survive” at least 1.5-2 months.
How to distinguish mushrooms of saffron from the waves of edible and false?
Knowing the features of edible waves and false mushrooms similar to them, it is not so difficult to distinguish mushrooms from them, however, for this you will need the following information.
For example, take the same pink wave and a redhead:
- The wave is predominantly pink. It can be a brighter pink or, on the contrary, a visually white mushroom with a pink tint. But the saucers are red -legged. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the redhead does not have to be fiery and bright, it can be a completely “calm” color.
- A distinctive feature of all edible waves is a certain “furry” of the hat. This must always pay attention to this. So Ryzhik has no such beauty. The surface of the hat of this mushroom is completely smooth. Agree, a very noticeable difference.
- By nature, redheads are much larger than the waves.
- When the wave is “injured”, white juice is necessarily distinguished, as mentioned earlier, with a caustic smell, but the Ryzhik emits orange juice. And if, speaking of its color, we mentioned that it may not be very bright, then the juice stands out precisely by bright red color.
- We go to the cooking process. When we cook the wave of pink, it will certainly change its color. It can be gray or light gray, as well as its shades. In the process of cooking, a redhead boasts a color change to a darker.
- Well, so to speak, the habitat. The waves choose a place for "life" closer to the birch forests. Less commonly, these are birch trees in which other trees occasionally meet. And the redheads are more likely to “settle” in the forests of pine.
- In principle, having confused these mushrooms, nothing terrible will happen, of course, if they are correctly processed. Remember that any edible mushrooms need proper heat treatment and only in this case they will be “safe”.
Where, in which forest the wave mushrooms grow when they appear, when to collect them?
- The mushrooms of the wave can be found in all forests where birches grow. Why birch? With this tree, the wave forms a “mushroom”. A similar connection to these mushrooms, however, like birch trees, is simply necessary, because in this way they feed each other. In principle, you can meet the waves in a mixed forest, but this phenomenon is still more rare.
- As a rule, these mushrooms can be seen in the forest in the middle of summer. The waves love moisture and heat, so if the spring and the beginning of summer turned out to be warm, then you can collect them even in June. Despite thermal loving, mushrooms are not afraid of frosts, this gives us the opportunity to collect them even in late autumn. That is, the season of the waves, it is about June-October.
- Mushrooms do not like these “loneliness”, therefore, as a rule, they “live” with huge families. This, by the way, attracts mushroom pickers. When collecting waves, you do not need to walk a broken hour in the forest in search of one mushroom, there are always enough of them.
- Most often, these mushrooms grow in open light meadow. But sometimes they can be found even in dense thickets.
Before cutting off the mushroom, always carefully inspect it and take it only if you are sure that it is “safe”. Mushrooms can truly be considered a delicacy of a kind. Properly collected and prepared mushrooms will be “honored guests” on any table and will definitely please you and your guests.
