Russian Classes: Names of mushrooms

Russians love going mushroom-picking, cooking cream of mushroom, and especially serving them with fries. I’ve gathered the most popular mushrooms to pick in Russia!

Here is some etymology to remember the names:

  • Подосиновик - растёт под осиной (grows under aspen trees)
  • Подберёзовик - растет под берёзой (grows under birches)
  • Лисички - рыжие, как лиса (red as a fox)
  • Белый гриб - белый внутри (white inside)
