The Ryadovkov family has a wide variety of species. If you have the necessary knowledge to help distinguish between edible and poisonous species, then you will be able to harvest good crops in the forest. Edible types of fruit bodies can be eaten fresh, or can be dried or frozen for the winter. The rows make excellent snacks and preparations, pickled and salted mushrooms are especially appreciated.

However, among the edible and tasty rowers there are poisonous species that can lead to food poisoning and cause significant harm to health. One of these representatives is a pointed row or a mouse row. In this regard, it is very important for each mushroom picker to follow the rules for picking mushrooms, and also to carefully study how to distinguish the mouse rowovka from other edible rowings.

Fans of "quiet hunting" assure that some ryadovki, considered poisonous in some countries, in our country are conditionally edible, which can be eaten. However, this in no way applies to the poisonous pointed row. Below is a photo of a pointed row, clearly showing how this mushroom looks and grows.

Usually pointed row(Tricholoma virgatum) It is also called a mouse row, a burning-sharp or a striped row. These names give an idea not only about the appearance, but also about the smell and taste. In some reference books, it is indicated as an inedible mushroom with a strong bitter taste that does not disappear even after a long soaking and boiling.

To form mycorrhiza, the mouse row chooses such tree species as pine, spruce, larch. Perhaps that is why this poisonous species can be found in coniferous and mixed forests of temperate climatic latitudes not only in Russia, but also in Europe, as well as North America. Rowing grows in groups or rows on moist, acidic soils. Fruiting occurs almost all autumn, until the first frost.

Here are photos of a striped row for your reference:

As you can see, this mushroom resembles an edible gray ryadovka. The active period of fruiting of both species occurs simultaneously. Therefore, in order not to confuse them and correctly distinguish between themselves, you need to know the main features of the appearance of each representative.
