    White mushrooms are common almost everywhere. The podberyozovik are
    known in USA as "under birch" or "birch bolete". I don't have any birch
    trees in my area - so I have no under birch mushrooms.

    I do have large white puffballs in the front yard, and under the oak
    trees "Sheepshead" also known as "Hen-of-the-Woods" mushrooms. I also
    have the Lion's Mane, Morel, Maitake, Oyster, etc.

    Title: Fried Puffball Mushrooms
    Categories: Mushrooms, Breads, Citrus, Greens
    Yield: 3 servings

    Fresh puffball mushrooms
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    High heat cooking oil
    A-P flour
    Panko breadcrumbs
    Eggs; beaten well
    +=WITH=+
    A splash of dairy or water
    Fresh arugula (or whatever
    - greens you have/prefer)
    Fresh lemon juice or wedge
    Extra virgin olive oil

    Set an oven @ 225+|F/107+|C, or to a warm setting.

    Season the flour with a couple good pinches of salt and
    mix well. If you can grind the salt in a spice grinder,
    do it.

    If you haven't already, slice off the root end of the
    puffball and inspect for any bug damage, the flesh of
    the mushroom should be perfectly white, not at all
    greenish-yellow.

    Using a long, sharp slicing knife, slice the puffball
    into 1/2" (13mm) or so slices. Liberally coat the
    mushroom slices in flour, then tap off the excess and
    dip them in beaten egg, then the panko breadcrumbs. Heat
    a generous amount of oil in a pan (1/4-1/2 cup should
    be good depending on the size of your mushroom slices)
    then, when sizzling hot, add the puffballs and cook
    until golden brown on each side.

    Pay close attention to the amount of oil in the pan, the
    breadcrumbs are going to soak up a ton of oil, and you
    don't to let the pan get dry, think of it like a shallow
    deep-fry.

    Once the mushrooms are browned, place them in the warm
    oven on a cookie sheet with a resting rack to prevent
    the heat from being trapped and steaming the crispy
    crust until you're done with the rest.

    When the mushrooms are all fried, dress the arugula or
    other greens with the lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper
    to taste, then serve immediately.

    NOTES: I recommend making these for 2-4 people at a
    time. Trying to fry your whole puffball, if it's large,
    will require a hood vent or outside cooking.

    That would be the Russian word for the French "champignon". The
    definition is - an edible fungus; especially : button mushroom.

    And You?

    I'm not sure which mushrooms you're talking about and google
    translation isn't helping. Mushroom identification is difficult
    enough with good photos but almost impossible using just text,
    especially if there is a language barrier.

    And to make things even trickier there are some poisonous North
    American species that look a lot like unrelated edible European and
    Asian ones. We have several poisoning incidents every year where
    recent immigrants make mistakes because of that.

    I did a Bing search on "podberezovik mushroom" which revealed that the
    mushroom is very common. It associates with birch trees and is typically found in boggy or swampy areas. A couple of good sources:

    https://tinyurl.com/35apuzu7 (pictures mostly w/some description) https://seedsua.com/mushrooms/seeds-mushroom-podberezovik-boletus-mycelium/ which tells me "This mushroom is not just edible, but very tasty, which
    is why it is used in many products as an additional component (pizza,
    pies, rolls, etc.)."

    And to make things even trickier there are some poisonous North
    American species that look a lot like unrelated edible European and
    Asian ones. We have several poisoning incidents every year where
    recent immigrants make mistakes because of that.

    That has been true forever. Darwin was right, you know.
