Porcini mushrooms are bitter
- When collecting porcini mushrooms, a false mushroom was caught in the basket. This is the main reason for the possible appearance of bitterness (more than 90%). Quite often, the gall mushroom is mistaken for boletus, since these mushrooms have a visual similarity. The gall mushroom is a harmless double, not poisonous and not dangerous to humans, but has a pronounced bitter taste. When cooked, such a mushroom will spoil the taste of other mushrooms. Also similar in appearance is the boletus mushroom and the poisonous satanic mushroom. When collecting porcini mushrooms, be extremely careful.
- Boiling of porcini mushrooms took place together with other representatives of the mushroom kingdom that have a bitter taste. These include: milkmen, valui, violins. When assembling and cooking, boletus mushrooms are best placed separately from other mushrooms.
- Spoilage of porcini mushroom, which is caused by environmental weather conditions, improper storage and the beginning of the rotting process.
Porcini mushrooms do not have a bitter taste. If you find a mushroom with bitterness, it is better not to risk your health and throw away such a mushroom.
