How to distinguish edible from poisonous rows and their description (+37 photos)

Ryadovki is a genus of lamellar mushrooms that belong to the Ryadovkov (Tricholomov) family. People call them "paths" for the property to grow in a row. Mushrooms are widespread, but only some species are eaten, therefore, before going to the collection of rows, you must familiarize yourself with the description and photos of edible rows so as not to pick up bad mushrooms in the basket.

Characteristic features of the type and collection rules

The genus includes species of all mushroom categories, from edible to poisonous. The following general features are characteristic of the rows:

fleshy convex cap, acquiring a flattened shape with aging;
cracked edges;
the presence of plates;
cylindrical leg;
thick pulp;
powdery odor in many species.

What species are considered completely edible?

Autumn edible rows are represented by the following types:

Pigeon (pigeon). Doves have white fleshy caps with a cracked edge. They are in the shape of a hemisphere. The surface is slippery, sticky. The leg is bent. The surface of the leg is white, but specimens with a greenish base can be found. The plates are wide, white.

Conditionally edible ryadovka mushrooms

The category of conditionally edible mushrooms includes the following types of rows:

silvery (scaly greasy);
golden;
shod;
scaly (sweetener);
yellow-red;
bearded;
greenfinch.

On the territory of Russia, the most common are:

The scaly row has a convex or flat-convex cap. A tubercle is visible in the middle. The surface of the hat is velvety, chocolate-colored. The leg is club-shaped. From above it is painted white, and from below it has a pink-brown or yellow-brown color. The pulp can be either white or creamy. At the break, it gives off a faint fruity aroma.

Row yellow-red The bearded one has a conical cap with a pronounced tubercle in the center. Its surface is pinkish brown or reddish brown in color. In the center, the color tone is slightly darker. The leg expands towards the top. From below it has a reddish-brown tint, and from above it is pure white. The pulp does not have a pronounced smell or taste.

Sulfur ryadovka Soap ryadovka has an open coffee-with-milk-colored hat. The shade is darker in the middle, and lighter along the edge. The stem is fibrous, often curved. It is colored light brown. When cut, the pulp becomes reddish. She gives off a pungent smell of fruit soap.

The row is soapy. The row has a pointed conical hat. A sharp tubercle is pronounced in the center. The surface is dry, with cracks along the edge. The color of the cap is dark gray with brown highlights. The leg is thin, curved. The color of the leg can be defined as off-white.

Row pointed

Poisonous species and differences from edible

Eating poisonous rows is very dangerous for human health. These include the following types:

spruce;
white;
toad;
smelly;
conical (pointed);
brindle (leopard);
spotted;
scorched (tanned).

Edible species can only be confused with white, spotted and leopard rows. You can distinguish them like this:

The white ryadovka is distinguished by a snow-white, sometimes yellowish color. The hat is open and velvety. The leg is cylindrical, slightly curved. Its surface repeats the color of the cap. You can recognize the mushroom by its pulp. It tends to change its color upon contact with air, therefore, at a break, it instantly turns pink. A sharp unpleasant smell of radish emanates from the pulp.

Clavaria pale brown (Clavaria zollingeri)

A widespread type of mushroom.It has a tubular purple or pinkish-lilac body that grows up to 10 cm in height and 7 cm in width. Scientists have determined that there are about 1200 species of clavaria, which differ in different shades, ranging from white to bright orange and purple. These mushrooms grow in many places, mainly in tropical areas, and are considered inedible.

Clavaria grows singly or in groups, mainly in coniferous forests with the participation of oak, from late June to September, in moss, sometimes in open places. Fruiting bodies are formed in August-October. Clavaria is known in Australia, New Zealand, North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. It is included in the list of rare species in Denmark, in the Red Data Book of the Chelyabinsk Region (there is one ??).

Calocera viscosa

Calocera viscosa:

By the appearance of this mushroom, one might think that its habitat is the seabed. The fruit body is elongated, vertical, egg-colored with shades of ocher, sometimes slightly reddening. Calocera sticky reaches 5 - 6 cm in length and up to 1 cm in diameter. Fruiting bodies of the colony willingly coalesce at the base and continue to grow in a small "bush". The fungus grows in large colonies, rarely singly, on the remains of rotten wood.

From the point of view of edibility, there are different opinions about gummy calocera, some sources consider it edible, but are silent about its possible processing, others do not mention it at all in the lists of edible mushrooms. However, Kalocera did not get to the poisonous either. It is believed that due to its small size and rarity, the mushroom never got its place in the culinary range, and is considered inedible.

Distribution: Grows on woody substrate (including submerged in the soil, strongly decomposed) singly or in small groups, preferring coniferous wood, especially spruce. Promotes the development of brown rot. It is found almost everywhere from early July to late autumn.

Similar Species: Horns (in particular, some members of the genus Ramaria, but not only) can grow and look very similar, but the gelatinous texture of the pulp safely evacuates Kalocera from this series. Other members of this genus, such as Calocera cornea, do not resemble sticky calocera either in shape or color.

Edibility: For some reason it is not accepted to talk about this in relation to Calocera viscosa. Therefore, the mushroom must be considered inedible, although, I think, no one has tested this.

Notes: There is something unnatural in the gelatinous "tremors" that suddenly acquired a vertical shape and are aiming for something there with a sharp mustache in the damp and still air. It seems that the calocera studied underwater mushroom, imitating the predatory anemones in everything. And the result is a gelatinous broom, with concentration sweeping the indifferent sky.

Clavulinopsis corallinorosacea

Coral mushroom (Clavulinopsis corallinorosacea):

The mushroom is so named because of its resemblance to sea corals. These mushrooms are bright in color, mostly orange, yellow or red. They usually grow in old forests; some coral fungi are saprotrophic, while others are symbiotic or even parasitic.

Kalocera sticky

By the appearance of this mushroom, one can think that its habitat is the seabed. Indeed: the species resembles coral thickets or algae that got to the land by some unknown road. The second thing that comes to mind is the developed buds of sprouted potato tubers. Even so - even so, the gummy Kalocera is definitely an extraordinary inhabitant of the forest floor.

The fruit body is elongated, vertical, egg-colored with shades of ocher, from time to time slightly reddening. Kalocera sticky achieves 5 - 6 cm in length and up to a centimeter in diameter. The fruiting bodies of the colony willingly coalesce at the base and continue to grow in a small "bush". At the apex, the body bifurcates into pointed processes, forming two or three typical spines. Spores form on the entire surface of the fungus.The pulp is gelatinous, the mixture resembles rubber, the color is slightly lighter than the surface layer. Kalocera has a "raw" rotten smell and a slightly sweet taste.

Kalocera sticky grows in large colonies, sometimes one by one, on the remains of putrefactive tree species. Often for outsiders it seems that this mushroom can grow on the soil, but this is not so: under the soil layer there will certainly be a half-rotten log or the remains of a stump. Kalocera is the causative agent of brown rot on commercial tree species.

Of the similar mushrooms, it is necessary to note the Horned mushrooms, which quite well imitate the appearance of the calocera, but upon detailed study they differ in the structure of the pulp and taste with aroma.

Kalocera sticky bears fruit throughout the summer, picking up the warm days of spring and autumn.

Based on the beliefs of edibility, there are different ideas about Kalocera gum. Some sources consider it edible, but are silent about its likely processing, others do not mention it at all in the lists of edible mushrooms. But this mushroom also did not get to the poisonous ones. It is believed that due to its small size and rarity, the mushroom never got its own place in the culinary range, and is considered inedible.

Interesting Facts

The fungus belongs to the shivering family, and all its relatives are shivering too. For example, the gelatinous false hedgehog and other mushrooms.

However, due to its strange appearance, Calocera is not used in food, despite the fact that it has very good medicinal properties.

Mushrooms are widespread in the cuisine of Bulgaria and France. However, Bulgaria uses it as a standard ingredient, like a spice or decoration. But in France this is a real find, also, an exquisite addition to dishes.

The mushroom is fried in batter and baked with meat and vegetables. Despite the fact that it has practically no taste and smell, it adds some piquancy that only the most true gourmets can appreciate.

Description of gummy calotsera

The shape of the fruit body is branch-like. Its height reaches 3-6 centimeters, and its diameter is 3-5 millimeters. The fruiting body is weakly branched, when it branches as much as possible, it becomes like a broom, and if it does not branch, it looks like a stick with a pointed Rogulskaya at the tip.

The color of the fruiting body is orange or egg-yellow. The surface of the mushroom is sticky. The pulp is rubbery-gelatinous, orange in color, odorless and tasteless. The spore powder may be slightly yellowish or colorless. Spores form on the entire surface of the fruiting body.

Spreading deer horns

These mushrooms grow on a woody substrate and on wood immersed in the soil and strongly decomposed. They meet in small groups or singly. They prefer conifers, especially spruce.

Brown rot develops on the wood due to these fungi. Reindeer horns are found almost everywhere. They bear fruit from July to late autumn.

Edible calocera gummy

It is not accepted to talk about the edibility of these mushrooms, they have an unsightly appearance of something gelatinous, and they grow in damp places, on a rotten substrate, it is unlikely that you will want to try them.

But calocera can be eaten without harm to health, although its taste is very dubious. Culinary experts believe that reindeer horns are of poor quality, since their flesh is rubbery. For food purposes, these mushrooms are very rarely harvested. Still, they can be boiled, dried and fried.

In Bulgaria, these mushrooms are boiled and used to decorate cold snacks, as they have a rich, beautiful color.

Collect only young fruiting bodies, which have not yet begun to dry out and brown.

The healing properties of Calocera gummy

These mushrooms contain a serotonin precursor, hydroxytryptophan and melatonin. Polysaccharides secreted from the gummy calocera stop the growth of sarcoma.

Interesting information about deer horns

Although the gummy calocera has an outward resemblance to horns, and it is called "horned", it has nothing to do with these mushrooms.The related species of gummy calocera are auricularia, gelatinous pseudo-beetle mushrooms, tremors and other gelatinous fungi.

Other mushrooms of this genus

Horny calocera is a conditionally edible mushroom. The fruiting body is clavate or horn-shaped. Its height does not exceed 1.5 centimeters, and its thickness is 0.1-0.3 centimeters. Fruiting bodies can be solitary or accrete at the base, as a rule, they do not branch out. The color of the fruit body is egg or light yellow, and in older specimens it fades to a dirty orange. The consistency is rubbery.

The horny calocera grows everywhere. Mushrooms settle on damp, strongly rotted deciduous and sometimes coniferous wood. They bear fruit from July to November.

Sticky calocera (Calocera viscosa) Fruit body: Vertical "branch-like", 3-6 cm high, 3-5 mm thick at the base, slightly branched, at most resembling a homespun broom, at least - a stick with a pointed Rogulskaya on end. Color - egg yellow, orange. The surface is sticky. The pulp is rubbery-gelatinous, surface color, without noticeable taste and smell

Spore powder: Colorless or slightly yellowish. Spores are formed over the entire surface of the fruiting body.

Edibility: For some reason it is not accepted to talk about this in relation to Calocera viscosa. Therefore, the mushroom must be considered inedible, although, I think, no one has tested this.

Excerpt characterizing Kalocera cornea

When a person sees a dying animal, horror seizes him: what he himself is - his essence, in his eyes is obviously destroyed - ceases to be. But when a dying person is a person, and a beloved person is felt, then, in addition to the horror of the destruction of life, one feels a rupture and a spiritual wound, which, like a physical wound, sometimes kills, sometimes heals, but always hurts and is afraid of an external annoying touch. After the death of Prince Andrei, Natasha and Princess Marya felt this equally. They, morally bent over and screwing up their eyes from the formidable cloud of death hanging over them, did not dare to look into the face of life.

They carefully guarded their open wounds from offensive, painful touch. Everything: a carriage quickly drove along the street, a reminder of lunch, a girl's question about a dress that needs to be prepared; even worse, the word of insincere, weak sympathy painfully irritated the wound, seemed an insult and broke that necessary silence in which they both tried to listen to the terrible, strict chorus that had not yet been heard in their imagination, and prevented them from peering into those mysterious endless distances that for a moment opened In front of them

Only the two of them were not offended or hurt. They spoke little to each other. If they talked, then about the most insignificant subjects. Both the one and the other equally avoided mentioning anything related to the future.

How to distinguish gummy calocera

This forest dweller, like any representative of the mushroom kingdom, has twins:

Horny - the mushroom is inedible, but also non-toxic.It can be found in all Russian forests, prefers moist coniferous, less often deciduous tree litter. It starts bearing fruit from the end of summer until the first frost. It can be recognized by its bright orange color and clavate or horn-like shape. Since the pulp is tasteless and odorless, it is rarely used in cooking.
Dacrimyces disappearing - a small tear-shaped or spherical mushroom of bright orange color. The fruit body is red or yellow, gelatinous, odorless and tasteless. Occurs from June until the first frost, prefers rotten coniferous wood. This species is considered inedible and can cause mild food poisoning when eaten.
