The golden dream of any mushroom picker is to return from the "quiet hunt", proudly carrying a weighty basket full of mushrooms. Or even two. Moreover, they say, you can attach it to your back, in the form of a backpack. In such a package, the gifts of nature will definitely survive until they reach the kitchen.
Scientists believe that the mushroom basket, like all similar household utensils, is even older than Homo sapiens. It is quite understandable: in order to feed themselves, it was necessary to engage in hunting and gathering. And how to bring the tribe gathered into the cave, especially if there is a decent distance between it and the mycelium? As the human hand mastered more and more complex types of work, the ancestors learned to weave things from natural materials: durable vines, vines, stripped of bark from a tree. For hundreds of years, a wicker basket for mushrooms has been in favor with everyone who goes to the forest for a “silent hunt”. And over the past century, its design has not changed much. It just hasn't come up with anything better. Judgethemselves: a product made of wicker or wicker combines strength and lightness at the same time. Its dimensions are large, but this is understandable: any mushroom is a voluminous thing. But it is not heavy, therefore, the basket for mushrooms does not need to be strengthened. In addition, the thing is universal: you can put berries, vegetables and fruits in it, and simple homemade food, and attach a four-legged pet for a long journey. She will play her part by simply standing on a shelf in the room, as an element of the interior.
Do not listen to those who, mocking old-fashioned methods, go mushroom picking with plastic buckets, plastic bags and backpacks! The basket for berries and mushrooms is remarkable in that, with its strength, it is freely permeable to air. This means that the collected (especially mushrooms) will retain their primary freshness longer. In addition, squeezed by the walls of a bag or backpack, the mushrooms will quickly wrinkle and break. You will have nothing to be proud of if you dare to demonstrate your prey to relatives or friends.
But you should not buy the first braided line that comes across. To begin with, you should try on her. First, the handle of the basket should fit comfortably in your hand. Secondly, even being plump, the mushroom basket should not interfere with walking. This is important, especially considering that you will have to carry it for several kilometers to your car or highway. However, there is also a backpack version of the mushroom basket. Such a wicker box made of shingles or birch bark does not resemble either the actual basket or the backpack. In shape, it is more like a bast shoe. Upper body from the outsidehas a hole. The calculation of this design is simple: a hand with a cut mushroom easily reaches the hole, but if the mushroom picker bends over the prey, nothing falls out from the inside.
Relatively recently, basket fishing in Russia was developed well enough to meet high demand. In addition to baskets made of willow twigs, craftsmen wove many birch bark purses and tueskas, wicker baskets. Now demand, of course, has decreased, but has not completely disappeared. And not only because a wicker basket for mushrooms is an important element of a country-style interior. It is still highly valued precisely as household utensils, light, durable, and environmentally friendly. No mushroom picker should ever neglect it. And the exceptional significance of a wicker basket for a person is reflected in myths, legends, fairy tales, where it is present. Even in a dream book. It is believed that if you see in a dream a large basket full of vigorous mushrooms, this is for money.
