The mushroom season on the Crimean peninsula begins in early spring and ends in late autumn. During this period, mushroom pickers manage to stock up on many different types of mushrooms, differing in their external, taste characteristics and aromas.
Mushroom places of Crimea
A large accumulation of mushrooms is found in the mountains. To do this, you will have to rise about five hundred meters above sea level. Mushrooms grow on sloping mountains. For example, you can harvest at:
- the western slopes of the mountains of Crimea, where the Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla with the famous peaks of Ai-Petri, Roka lies;
- Mount Demerdzhi is likely to find several types of mushrooms at once.
In the Crimean forests, you can also find mushroom species, for example, near Alushta, where the village of Luchistoye is located, whole mushroom glades are found, exactly as in the area of the city of Sevastopol.
On the Crimean peninsula, in many areas, various types of edible mushrooms grow, which are subsequently used for food. But poisonous specimens also grow here, by trying which you can be poisoned. Therefore, when going for mushrooms, it is so important to know the characteristic differences between the “good” and “bad” mushroom representatives.
