Gray row

False doubles

In appearance, the spotted row may look like honey mushrooms, but it has a wider cap and a chunky leg. In appearance, matsutake has a lot in common with a corrugated row, or tied (Tricholoma focale), belonging to the conditionally edible mushrooms of the fourth category. Its cap is also fibrous-scaly, brown in color, there is also a ring on the leg, the flesh is light, fleshy. But unlike the shod ryadovka, it has a short leg that can be easily removed from the ground, and its smell is mealy. The pine mushroom is also very similar to the Sakhalin mushrooms.

All the external features of these types can be seen in the photo.

Row silver (Tricholoma scalpturatum) is a mushroom belonging to the Tricholomov family, the Agarikov class.

External description

The fruiting body of the silvery row consists of a cap and a leg. The diameter of the cap varies within 3-8 cm, in young mushrooms it has a convex shape, and in mature mushrooms it is prostrate, with a tubercle in the central part. Sometimes it can be concave. In ripe mushrooms, the edges of the cap are wavy, bent, and often torn. The fruit body is covered with a skin with the finest fibers or small scales pressed to the surface. this skin is more often gray in color, but it can be gray-brownish-yellow or silvery-brownish. In overripe fruit bodies, the surface is often covered with specks of lemon-yellow color.

The fungal hymenophore is lamellar, its constituent particles are plates, they grow together with a tooth, often located in relation to each other. In young fruit bodies, the plates are white, and in ripe ones, they turn yellow in the direction from the edges to the central part. Often, on the plates of overripe fruit bodies of a silvery row, you can see yellowish spots, unevenly distributed over the surface.

The height of the stalk at the silvery row varies within 4-6 cm, and the diameter of the mushroom stalk is 0.5-0.7 cm.It is silky to the touch, thin fibers are visible to the naked eye. The shape of the stem of the described mushroom is cylindrical, and sometimes small pieces of skin are visible on its surface, which are the remains of a common blanket. In color, this part of the fruiting body is gray or whitish.

The structure of the mushroom is very thin, fragile, with a powdery color and aroma.

Season and habitat of the mushroom

Row silver grows in forests of various types.Often, this type of mushroom can be found in the middle of parks, squares, gardens, forest shelter belts, along roadsides, in grassy areas. You can see the described mushroom as part of large groups, since the scaly row often forms the so-called witch's circles (when whole colonies of mushrooms are connected to each other in large bundles). The fungus prefers to grow on calcareous soils. On the territory of Russia and, in particular, the Moscow region, the fruiting of silvery rows begins in June and continues until the second half of autumn. In the southern regions of the country, this mushroom begins to bear fruit in May, and the duration (during warm winters) is about six months (until December).

Edibility

The taste of the silvery ryadovka is mediocre; this mushroom is recommended to be eaten salted, pickled or fresh. It is advisable to boil the silvery ryadovka before eating, and drain the broth. It is interesting that when this type of mushroom is pickled, their fruit bodies change their color, becoming green-yellow.

Similar types and differences from them

Often, another type of mushroom, Tricholoma imbricatum, is called a silvery (scaly) row. However, both of these ryadovki belong to completely different categories of mushrooms. The silvery ryadovka described by us is similar in its external features to earthy ryadovka, as well as to above-soil tricholom mushrooms. Very often these types of mushrooms grow in the same place, at the same time. It also looks like a poisonous tiger row.

Application:
suitable for preparing various dishes and preparations for the winter. The pigeon row is good in soups and sauces. She perfectly decorates the festive table in the form of a pickled or salty snack. The fruiting body is also dried for long-term storage. Many experienced mushroom pickers note that this mushroom gives a unique aroma to meat dishes. However, before cooking, it must be soaked in cold water and then boiled for at least 15 minutes. Both young and adult specimens are used for food. In addition, even those fruit bodies that have survived the first frosts are suitable for processing. Such gustatory qualities induce beginner lovers of "quiet hunting" by all means to study the description and photo of the pigeon ryadovka mushroom, so as not to lose sight of it in the forest.

Similarities and differences:
this species is similar to the white ryadovka (Tricholoma album) - a dangerous poisonous mushroom. However, it is quite easy to notice the differences between the pigeon ryadovka and the white variety. From the latter comes a sharp disgusting smell, which helps to determine the edibility of the mushroom.

Spreading:
the bluish ryadovka is a rather rare species in its family. The mushroom grows mainly in mixed and deciduous forests. Most often it can be seen near birches and oaks. Sometimes it can settle in pastures and meadows. Grows singly or in small groups from August to September.

Ecology

It grows on soil and litter in pine, spruce and mixed (with pine or spruce) forests, plantings, in old parks. Fruiting frequently, in large groups.

Season and distribution

Late mushroom. Distributed throughout the temperate zone. Fruiting from October until severe frosts. In the southern regions, in particular, in the Crimea, in warm winters - until January, and even in February-March. In eastern Crimea, in some years - in May.

Edibility

The situation is controversial. Until recently, Ryadovka earthy was considered a good edible mushroom. "Myshata" in Crimea is one of the most widespread and most popular mushrooms harvested, one might say, "breadwinner". They are dried, pickled, salted, prepared fresh.
However, in recent years, a number of studies have been carried out showing that the use of an earthy-gray ryadovka can cause rhabdomyolysis (myoglobinuria) - a syndrome that is quite difficult to diagnose and treat, which is an extreme degree of myopathy and is characterized by the destruction of muscle tissue cells, a sharp increase in the level of creatine kinase and myoglobin. , myoglobinuria, development of acute renal failure.

Therefore, we carefully classify the mushroom as conditionally edible: edible, provided that you do not eat more than 46 kg of fresh mushrooms in a short period and provided that you do not have a predisposition to rhabdomyolysis and kidney disease.Notes: Such popularity among the Crimean people is probably connected not so much with the high nutritional qualities of "mice" (the mushroom, according to the old classification, not the first category, but the fourth), but with the fact that "mice" is the most widespread mushroom there. In Bulgaria it is considered very mediocre, in Belarus it is rare and usually not harvested, in Russia it does not have such a resource value, although it is widespread everywhere

Similar species

Row gray (Tricholoma portentosum) - fleshy, in wet weather with an oily cap.
Silver row (Tricholoma scalpturatum) - slightly lighter and smaller, but these signs overlap, especially considering the growth in the same places.
Row sad (Tricholoma triste) - differs in a more pubescent hat.
Tiger row (Tricholoma pardinum) - poisonous - much fleshy, more massive.

Similar Species

The Ryadovkov family is incredibly diverse, and our heroine has many similar close relatives of varying degrees of edibility.

Row Guilder Tricholoma guldeniae

Row Guilder Tricholoma guldeniae

Externally very similar to Ryadovka the Gray species from the same genus and family. Even seasoned mushroom pickers, sometimes, cannot distinguish them from each other. They bear fruit in the same period and differ, first of all, in habitats. Row Gulden grows in mixed forests on calcareous and loamy soils, loves the neighborhood of fir trees, and is rarely found in a pine forest, next to our heroine. It is also distinguished by the grayish tones of the hymenophore plates, but such grayishness can also appear in Ryadovka Seroy.

Tricholoma guldeniae is named after the famous Norwegian mycologist, belongs to conditionally edible mushrooms, is edible after preliminary boiling, and, according to experts, tastes no worse than Ryadovka Seroy.

Rowing Green Tricholoma equestre

or, popularly, Zelenushka

Rowing Green Tricholoma equestre

Another close relative of our heroine. It differs from it in a pronounced greenish-yellowish color, which persists even after boiling

It is very important that Zelenushka also grows under the pines, and in the same period as the mouse mushroom, therefore they are often found in close groups under the same trees. Many happy gatherers, stumbling into a pine forest on a huge joint colony of mice and greenfinches, without looking, put them in common handfuls in their basket

Zelenushka is a conditionally edible mushroom, and is also quite tasty, but requires more stringent preliminary preparation - thoroughly rinse and boil. Greenfinch has many loyal fans, but if you treat it in a slovenly way, you can seriously pay. Cases of serious poisoning with seizures and pain have been reported.

Row Zemisto - Gray Tricholoma Terreum

Row Zemisto - Gray Tricholoma Terreum

Another not harmless relative of our heroine. It is very similar in color, but its cap is less fleshy and silky to the touch, and does not become sticky in wet weather. It grows in approximately the same conditions, and in the same period as Ryadovka Seraya, and, most importantly, has the same nickname among the people - "mouse", which makes it easier to confuse them. Tricholoma Terreum in the south of the country, in the Crimea, can bear fruit even until February and is very popular there. At the same time, it contains toxins that can lead to kidney failure and damage to muscle tissue, so it must be very well washed and boiled before use and not consumed in too much.

Row Pointed Tricholoma Virgatum

Row Pointed Tricholoma Virgatum

Also a close relative of Ryadovka Gray, very similar in shade to the cap, but the tubercle in the center is sharper, and the cap itself is slightly more conical and even at the edges. The pulp of this mushroom does not have a pronounced smell, but it tastes pungently, so it is completely unsuitable for food, although it is not poisonous.

Row Soap Tricholoma Saponaceum

Row Soap Tricholoma Saponaceum

It has such a funny name for the smell of laundry soap emitted by its pulp. Her taste cannot be called particularly pleasant, but some lovers salt this mushroom with horseradish and garlic, after a long preliminary boiling, in which the smell of soap only intensifies. Ryadovka Soapaya is very similar to our heroine, it also grows in coniferous forests, but it differs in olive tones of the cap, darker plates, and, most importantly, its flesh turns very red at the break.

Gray Ryadovka - the main mushroom of late autumn

Seraya Ryadovka is one of the most delicious representatives of the very diverse and multifaceted mushroom family of Ryadovkovs, and its unique frost resistance makes this gray pine mouse the main mushroom of late autumn.
