Today, the Culinary Eden website has collected and diligently recorded for you a selection of the most important tips and secrets, as well as the most interesting recipes that will surely help even inexperienced housewives to easily figure out how to cook mushrooms.

1. The best way to get mushrooms into your kitchen has been and remains a hike in the forest. Where is it nice to take a walk with the whole family, breathe in the fresh forest air, and return home with abundant booty. Honey mushrooms are very widespread in most forests of our country. They grow on fallen and live trees of various species, especially often found in clearings, and along clearings. It is not difficult to recognize them. In young mushrooms, the hat is spherical, while in adults, it is flat with a tubercle in the middle. The color of the cap is dirty brown or grayish-yellow; in young mushrooms, the cap is covered with thin scales that disappear with age. The plates adhering to the stem are light in young mushrooms, with age they become brownish-yellow. The leg of the honey agaric is long, thin, slightly thickened downwards, with a white ring in the upper part. In adult mushrooms, the leg becomes excessively fibrous and coarse and is not suitable for food.

2. If you do not have the opportunity to go for mushrooms on your own, then your path lies in the market or in the store. It is best to buy mushrooms from familiar mushroom pickers on the market. In this case, you can be sure that you will be sold really fresh mushrooms collected in clean forests located far from major cities and highways. Before buying, make sure that all mushrooms are fresh, elastic, without bruising and signs of decay. Be sure to smell the mushrooms. Good fresh mushrooms have an extremely pleasant, pronounced mushroom aroma without extraneous odors. If the mushrooms offered to you look noticeably sluggish, if mold has formed on them or some of the mushrooms have rotted, if unpleasant notes of souring have been added to their own mushroom smell, refuse to buy without regrets. A delicious dish of spoiled mushrooms will not work, and indigestion will not decorate your family evening in any way.

3. When you bring mushrooms home, try to clean and process them right away. Like any other mushrooms, mushrooms are not subject to long-term storage. In the most extreme case, the preparation of mushrooms can be postponed for one day. To keep mushrooms fresh for a day, carefully sort them out, getting rid of excess forest debris, put them in a clean paper bag and put them in the bottom compartment of the refrigerator. But even after such preparation, mushrooms should not be stored for longer than 36 hours.

4. Perhaps not a single most exquisite overseas snack can be compared with simple, but so tasty and fragrant fried mushrooms with sour cream. And this dish is so easy to make! Peel and wash 500 g of mushrooms, put them in a saucepan and fill with water so that it completely covers the mushrooms. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for five minutes. Drain the mushrooms in a colander and let the water drain. Meanwhile, melt 2 tbsp. tablespoons of melted butter, add one finely chopped onion and fry until golden brown. Then add your mushrooms and sauté over high heat until golden brown for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Once the mushrooms are browned enough, add 3 tbsp. spoons of sour cream, salt and black pepper to taste, mix thoroughly, reduce the heat to the weakest and cook for another five minutes. Serve the prepared mushrooms immediately to the table, sprinkling them with chopped dill.

5. No less tasty is the old cold appetizer of boiled mushrooms with horseradish. Peel and rinse 500 g of fresh mushrooms. Put the mushrooms in a saucepan, add one parsley root, cut into large pieces, one carrot, cut into circles, and one whole onion. Pour the mushrooms with vegetables with salted water, bring to a boil and remove the foam. Then add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of lemon juice, one bay leaf and six black peppercorns. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, drain the mushrooms in a colander, drain the water, select and discard the vegetables, and cool the mushrooms. Transfer the boiled mushrooms to a deep salad bowl, add to them half of the horseradish root, grated on a fine grater and mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice, season with sunflower oil and mix.

6. It is very easy to cook a delicious mushroom soup with buckwheat. Peel and wash 600 g of fresh mushrooms, put them in a saucepan and pour two liters of water. Bring to a boil, remove foam and simmer for 10 minutes. In a frying pan, heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil, add one finely chopped onion, one carrot, cut into small cubes, and half of the parsley root, cut into small cubes. Fry the vegetables until golden brown and transfer to a pan with mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes, then add 3 tbsp. tablespoons of washed buckwheat, salt and black pepper to taste. Boil everything together for 20 minutes. Serve the soup with sour cream and fresh dill.

7. Unusually fragrant and satisfying fish hodgepodge with mushrooms has always been one of the most popular dishes of Russian cuisine. Rinse and squeeze one kilogram of sauerkraut. In a deep skillet, melt 3 tbsp. spoons of ghee, put the cabbage and simmer over medium heat for 15 - 20 minutes, stirring often. Cut into large pieces 500 gr. salmon fillet and place in a bowl. Add 50 g. capers, two pickled cucumbers, peeled and seeded, and diced, 2 tbsp. spoons of tomato paste, one finely chopped onion and browned in oil, one glass of fish broth, one bay leaf, salt and black pepper to taste.
