Fines were imposed for collecting rare mushrooms in the Perm region

In the Perm Region, you will have to pay a fine for picking some edible mushrooms. The species that are listed in the Red Book of the region and the country are banned.

According to the <url> news agency, with reference to the regional Ministry of Natural Resources, Forestry and Ecology, administrative responsibility is provided for the collection of four types of mushrooms. These are the horsetail, sarcosoma globulosa, curly sparassis and semi-bloody red milkweed.

The ministry said that the half-blood red milkweed is a relative of ginger, but it was found in the Kama region only once in the Suksun district. Milkweed or milkweed refers to low-value edible mushrooms, but it is still consumed raw.

Sarcosoma globosa is considered an inedible mushroom, but is sometimes eaten after heat treatment. Curly sparassis or mushroom cabbage, growing on the roots of coniferous trees, is used in food and folk medicine.

If these mushrooms are collected, citizens can be fined from 2 to 5 thousand rubles, and the mushrooms themselves can be confiscated. If they are collected in specially protected natural areas, the fine will amount to 4 thousand rubles. The fine for legal entities is up to 300 thousand rubles.

Earlier, mycologist, Candidate of Biological Sciences Mikhail Vishnevsky named the most fungal areas of the Moscow region. There are traditionally two more mushroom directions in the region: one — to the west, towards Zvenigorod, the other — to the south, towards Kashira and the Prioksko-Terrasny State Reserve. But you can help in the north, and in the east — near the Meshcherskaya lowland swamp.
