In the last few months in rural areas in the ΣαχτοÏÏια of the Libyan south of Rethymno, there is a… increased traffic on the Weekends of the week! And it’s not just because it’s coming back, as do, moreover, these days in their village, those “villagers living in towns of Crete”, but also because “many of the Messara mainly, Heraklion, Rethymnon, Chania arrive there to collect the wild mushrooms that this year sprouted in quantities”.
And if a lot of these fungi frighten only in the… sound , the hundred people who inhabit permanently the settlement does not get excited and not worry about the deadly incidents that have occurred in the past, because here, due to delivery… specialized “know them so well as the mother is the child of”, collect them safely from the field and put them, such as tend, in the pan, the charcoal or in a pot and “make them a snack in the company”.
“Village of the mushroom and the χοχλιοϔ has been named the village of the Libyan
THIS YEAR… THEY CAME EARLIER
“No one in our village,” recalls John Charalambakis president of the local group of youth,”has been poisoned ever since mushrooms because everybody knows and can discern if it is clean or poisonous. If you’re packing up, those who don’t know, from places where there is garbage and plastic, then sign the condemnation of them!”
In the years of poverty, however, the bread was often a… daily food “to stand the κοπÎλια”. But, passing in the formative years of prosperity and abundance, they began to become obsolete and to be “the dish of the poor”. But this year, he observes, Manolis Paterakis, “took a lot of ομανίτες earlier, why ÎβÏεξενε early and the ομανίτης wants water and capsule. From paez yet and beyond that will αÏχίξουνε the κÏυγιώματα will not come out until March and April. Old είχαμενε φτώχιες chi you loser like meat!”.
Manolis Paterakis: “before, when we had poverty, we had the ομανίτες like the meat…”
Amazing, this year, is that in every walk in the field, popping up mushrooms and this is an unprecedented phenomenon, compared with other years.”ΟÏλοι the ομανίτες in ΣαχτοÏÏια is clean. ΕπαÎ, as old I am, I never πόθανε man, but nor have I heard κιανÎνα to hurt the stomach,-n -!”she continues.
AND FEAST ΜΑÎΙΤΑΡΙΟΥ IT?
Every house in the village of the Libyan, however, is “always in the fridge and the snack of the” why “as a snack, we got the mushroom here,” says mr. Charalampakis. The quantities collected is large and you don’t need “time and effort” to track them down. “The sheep that go,” adds mr. Paterakis, “μαζώνω maybe fifteen pounds. It’s a lot this year…”
Of course, the majority of people consume in their homes or give a gift to friends. However, there are some, very few, that forced by the current economic difficulties the sell to enhance the small income. But “few”.
John Charalambakis: “The mushrooms, the boiled, the oil and the greens are our main products…”
The more mushrooms that thrive here belong to the category αÏτυκίτες because grow in areas that it grows the shrub άÏτυκας. However appear and other species that are consumed, such as αγκαθίτες, δÏοσίτες, prinites and αλεκατίτες.
However, “the ΣαχτοÏÏια sound of the mushrooms” beyond the modern historical memory and the beautiful and clean beaches that offer.
For this reason, the management of the group’s youth, there is the thought to establish the “feast of mushroom” in the fall or in the spring of each year, in order for the village to open an extra door for attracting visitors. However, it is still as thought…
