Mushroom pickers have their own habits, signs and other tricks that allow them to find productive places and distinguish good mushrooms from bad ones.
This article is not about edible and inedible mushrooms. We will tell you about one interesting method that allows you to determine the freshness of a mushroom, as well as whether it is wormy or not.
How to determine
In order to determine the presence of parasites in a mushroom or their absence, mushroom pickers are asked to knock on the mushrooms.
Firstly, this way you can determine how dense the mushroom cap is.
The fresher the mushroom, the denser and more elastic the structure of its cap.
An old, spoiled, insect-eaten mushroom usually has a soft and loose cap.
Secondly, if you hear a dull sound, then most likely the mushroom is eaten by worms and beetles.
And another plus - a slight vibration allows you to get rid of dirt and lurking insects that can come to the mushroom picker's home along with the catch.
