Most often, the Valui mushroom can be found in mixed and deciduous forests. It is absolutely useless to look for it among the needles. Such a mushroom is quite easy to collect, since it does not grow alone in a large meadow, but in several pieces at once. The mushroom has a plastic structure, a white-yellow leg, the pulp of which has a sharp and not very pleasant smell, and also has a bitter juice. A young Valui mushroom is very easy to distinguish from an old one. The former is endowed with a semicircular, beautiful hat, while the latter is almost flat. In older mushrooms, a large cavity forms inside the stem. Valui can be found against a green background of leaves due to its yellow-brown cap, which sometimes has a bright yellow color.

You should look for the Valui mushroom in July, as well as in August. The least of all is in September, when the mushroom begins to feel the autumn coolness. Specially, mushroom pickers do not hunt for these mushrooms, but most often put them in their basket if they cannot find anything else.

This mushroom is quite tasty. The only rule is that you can only eat hats. They are best served pickled or salted.

When picking mushrooms, you should be careful not to take an old mushroom for yourself, because, unlike young ones, it is often almost completely wormy and unusable. Cooking valuy consists in its mandatory preliminary soaking and boiling. After the measures taken, this mushroom can be eaten, because it acquires a good aroma and pleasant taste. It is strictly forbidden to dry such mushrooms, which also distinguishes Valui from porcini mushroom, which, after drying, acquires a delicious aroma, decorating any hot or cold dish with this.
