Along with summer ones, there are many autumn types of rowings: according to fans of “mushroom hunting”, these mushrooms have a richer taste. Moreover, in the fall, you can find only two varieties of inedible rows, and these mushrooms can be easily distinguished from edible ones by their characteristic unpleasant odor. Despite the fact that these fruit cases are ranked only in the 4th category, mushroom pickers collect them with pleasure.

September rows are usually located among mixed forests with a predominance of spruce. Outwardly, they are pleasing to the eye, dense, stately, with a good shape. There are many lovers of these spicy mushrooms with a peculiar specific aroma.

Smelly ryadovki are often found in October. They grow very widely near paths and in forest clearings. In October, it is imperative to sniff all the mushrooms. As a result, you will quickly identify these dangerous chemical-smelling mushrooms to eat. Then you will distinguish them from similar edible pigeon rows that do not smell.

In October, you can still find beautiful edible red and yellow rows. If the frost has not passed, then they are bright and attractive. After frost, the color of the cap fades.

Before heading out into the forest, find out what row mushrooms look like and where they grow.

A distinctive feature of the species is a light gray or light creamy surface with a darker grayish brown center, sometimes with a violet or olive tint; the surface is radially fibrous with darker radial fibers in the middle. In the center of the mushroom cap, a gray row often has a flat tubercle. In young specimens, the surface is smooth and sticky.

Variability: the fungus is highly variable in color depending on the stage of development, time and humidity of the season.

Similar species: according to the description of the mushroom, the gray ryadovka can be confused with the soap ryadovka (Tricholoma saponaceum), which is similar in shape and color at a young age, but differs in the presence of a strong soapy smell in the pulp.

Habitat: mixed and coniferous forests, growing in groups.

Edible, 4th category.
