The man found unusual mushrooms in the Švenčionys district, in the forests of his hometown of Kasčiukai. Aistė says that there, Dad has been growing rapidly since childhood, and she felt the greatest passion for growing up seven years ago.
“Dad has been growing like a mushroom since childhood, and he became even more interested in it seven years ago when he turned fifty. Because they have more free time, the children are raised, there is less work,” says Aistė.
“It just came to our attention then. Even after work, mushrooms fly. When there is mushroom season, you go to the forest every day,” he adds.
Collect only boletus
According to the woman, Papa Rimvydas only collects boletus. Therefore, when he found the invisible mushrooms, he immediately realized that they were boletus.
“Dad has been growing like mushrooms for many years and he always collects only boletus. He is the one who sees boletus from afar. Don’t mistake them for anyone. Last time he brought eighty boletus, among which were these invisible ones,” says Aistė.
The naturalist Almantas Kulbis attributes these boletus found by Rimvydas to so-called fungal anomalies. According to him, it is difficult to determine the exact reason why the boletus grew in such strange ways.
“It is difficult to say why, in this case, the mushroom has so many stems and a cap. However, there can be several causes of fungal abnormalities.
Various viral diseases and bacteria can cause strange fungal growth. The changes are also caused by various pests that have settled on the fungi. The fungi also have a non-standard appearance when they encounter some obstacle when growing: a tree branch, a stone, a harder soil ”, says A. Kulbis.
It is safe to eat
But the naturalist is reassuring: these mushrooms are not poisonous. They are safe to eat, it is just important to make sure they are not covered in mold.
“Those mushrooms are edible. However, one should be alarmed if, for example, a leper or other fungus of this group is found, covered with a bright yellow plaque. This is the golden mold. It is not edible, such mushrooms should not be collected.
The abnormalities also include unusual fungal colors. For example, mushrooms without pigments. Imagine for us the usual acorn or boletus, colorful, but completely white, without pigments. These fungi also occur, but rarely.
Fungi are very diverse organisms, their variety of forms is inexhaustible. Anyone who goes out for a few hours can bring some rarity to the bag, ”says A. Kulbis.
Vone bite can be fatal
The naturalist warns that when going to the mushroom it is very important to be able to recognize poisonous mushrooms. If you try a little, the doctor will not help you.
“The most dangerous mushrooms are the greenish and spiky mushrooms. It is very important that their symptoms are noticed even by young children. These mushrooms are insidious because the poisoned person feels an improvement after a while, they think they have recovered. Even a small one quantity of these fungi is deadly for human health ”, emphasizes the naturalist.
A. Kulbis says that inexperienced mushrooms often mix green myrtle with herbaceous green mussels, sometimes even daisies. However, the naturalist says that it is not difficult to separate it at all.
“The green myrtle has a skirt, a thickening at the bottom. It also differs from our usual red myrtle in that it has no points. Common muskrats are also poisonous, but they rarely die,” he says.
The naturalist warns that there are also more dangerous fungi that can cause serious poisoning or even death.
“It is a fir cone bud, it can be confused with stumps. You should also avoid the fiberglass buds, which look a bit like the spring and early spring lilies that grow on people in early summer. It is also a poisonous sediment and some other fungi ”, emphasizes A. Kulbis.

Believe only on verified information
According to the naturalist, it is important not to touch or eat completely unfamiliar mushrooms. They are not necessarily poisonous, but they can be rare and protected. It also calls for a responsible assessment of information about mushrooms on the Internet and on social media.
“If we already put the mushroom in a pot or pan, we must make sure that it is not a poisonous mushroom. Sometimes people upload photos of mushrooms to social media, asking other mushrooms for advice. Photos are often taken in different lights and the fungi don’t look like they really are – different shades, no diagnostic signs.
There are people who try to advise very benevolently, but you should only rely on the advice of professionals, mycologists (fungal researchers). Or participate in seminars, trainings led by mycologists. Only fungi or naturalists with many years of experience can know exactly that the fungus discovered is good ”, emphasizes A. Kulbis.
