Ridovaki are lamellar mushrooms that have a huge number of species. Among them are listed in the Red Book, edible and poisonous. Today, these mushrooms are often undeservedly ignored.

This is partly due to the similarity of species, as a result of which novice mushroom pickers are afraid to collect them, being afraid not to recognize the poisonous double. But having studied the photo and description of row mushrooms, it is quite possible to understand which species can be eaten and boldly go on a quiet hunt for a healthy forest delicacy.

Characteristic features of the variety

The mushrooms of the rowing look differently, depending on the species. However, there are common signs of the species.

Appearance and photo

The hat of a young fruiting body may take the form of a ball, cone or bell. Over time, it straightens out and becomes flat, sometimes with a tubercle in the center. The diameter also varies from 3 to 20 cm. The edges of the cap are flat, turned inward, curved outward, wavy.

The peel of the cap may be dry, mucous, fibrous or scaly. Color changes from pure white to shades of yellow, red, brown and green.

Under the hat there are plates that are tightly fused with the leg. The spore layer is white, but with age the fungus becomes brown. The pinkish-brown leg varies in height from 3 to 10 cm. Under the hat on the leg there may be a defined white area or the remains of the bedspread in the form of a fibrous ring.

Species differences and structure

The main species differences:

  • have a hat-and-leg structure;
  • hats change with age;
  • lamellar, plates adhered to the pedicle;
  • most species have a floury smell;
  • myco-formers;
  • grow in rows or circles.

Habitat

Tricholomas are common in the Northern Hemisphere; they grow in both coniferous and mixed forests. Often form mycorrhiza with pine. Larch, fir or spruce for symbiosis is chosen less often.

The harvesting time for this type of mushroom is mainly the end of summer - autumn. You can find them right up to the first frost. But some species can be found in the spring. They grow both individually and in groups, form long rows or rings.

Edible or inedible

Ryadovka has about 100 species, among them there are edible, conditionally edible and inedible representatives.

Important!
The main difference between them is that the cap of the poisonous mushroom has a white or light color, without color shades.
You should also pay attention to the smell, if it is offensive, unpleasant, then you have false specimens. Edible rowing has different shades and a pleasant mushroom aroma.

Types and their description with photos

The most common edible species are:

  1. Ryadovka Violet (Lilopod). A distinctive feature is the lilac-violet shade of a fairly large hat. The dense pulp on the cut is also a purple hue. It has a pleasant unusual floral scent that is not destroyed during processing and sets off any dish.
  2. Poplar rowing. Belongs to taste in the 3rd category. The hat is conical and rounded at a young age. Color varies in yellow shades. Has a sticky layer. The pulp is white and dense.
  3. Gray row. It got its name due to its color.Cracks appear on the smooth surface of the cap with age. The cut may have a yellowish or grayish color. The smell is powdery, and the taste is pleasant.

Venomous ranks are of the following types:

  1. Tiger. It stands out with a silver-gray tint of a hat with gray scales all over its diameter. In the center is a black tubercle. The main danger of this double is a pleasant smell. Causes severe poisoning within 15 minutes after ingestion.
  2. White. It has a hat with curved edges at a young age, then, with age, they straighten. The skin is dry. Smooth, white color. It is easy to distinguish by smell, the flesh has a musty soapy smell.

Terms and conditions of collection

The rules for picking mushrooms are the same for all edible varieties. So that the autumn gifts of the forest bring only benefits, you must adhere to such tips:

  1. Do not collect in the city, near highways or near natural dumps.
  2. Do not pluck damaged, wormy, or very old specimens. They can be poisoned.
  3. If an edible mushroom grows next to a poisonous one, then you should not put it in a basket. Also, if a poisonous mushroom was found in a basket, then it is advisable to discard the entire crop that was in the neighborhood.

  4. Search for forest gifts with a thin wand, carefully pushing the needles. This will protect the fruiting bodies from damage, and the mushroom picker - from poisoning by mushrooms, the toxins of which penetrate even through the skin (for example, pale toadstool).
  5. If some assembled specimen did not fit, then you should not crush it, just prick it on a branch so that it ripens and sows spores.
  6. Before taking children to the forest, it is necessary to conduct a briefing and explain that you should not eat anything torn in the forest.

Differences from false, inedible mushrooms

Rowers have a large number of dangerous doubles:

  1. Ryadovka gray has a poisonous double with a striped hat. The inedible specimen has a more conical hat, and young mushrooms are more streaky.
  2. The scaly appearance is important not to be confused with the cow row. In the latter, the flesh is bitter, and the scale of the cap is more pronounced.
