Rows are not considered the most popular among mushroom pickers, because many are afraid to collect such bright mushrooms so as not to stumble upon false doubles. Although the family of rowers lives in any forests throughout Russia, the main thing is to distinguish between edible and inedible species.

In this article, we will focus on a white-brown row or a white-brown row. This mushroom is usually found in pine forests next to boletus. Perhaps that is why, in rainy weather, inexperienced mushroom pickers confuse rows with oil. The question arises: is the edible row white-brown or not?

Some mycologists consider white-brown mushrooms to be inedible, others are sure that this is a conditionally edible species, but they must be boiled for at least 40 minutes before use.

We offer a description and photo of the white-brown row, so that you can recognize this mushroom among other rows.

Description of a row of white-brown (tricholoma albobrunneum) or white-brown

Latin name: Tricholoma albobrunneum.

Family: Ordinary.

Synonyms: ryadovka brown, ryadovka white-brown, sweets.

Hat: diameter from 4 to 10 cm, with a rolled edge. In the proposed photo of the white-brown row, you can see the shape of the cap: at a young age it is hemispherical, then it becomes convex-outstretched with a tubercle in the middle. The surface is fibrous, cracking over time, forming the appearance of scales. Color ranges from reddish brown to chestnut brown.

Leg: height from 3 to 8 cm, less often up to 10 cm, diameter from 0.6 to 2 cm. The surface is smooth, longitudinally fibrous at the bottom, the outer fibers create the appearance of scales. The color at the point of attachment of the plates to the stem is white, then turns into brown. The leg of the white-brown ryadovka mushroom at a young age has a cylindrical shape, in mature it tapers towards the base and becomes hollow.

Flesh: white with a brown tint, dense, odorless, has a slight bitterness. Some sources say that the mushroom has a mealy smell.

Plates: adherent with a tooth, frequent, white, with noticeable small reddish spots.

Edible: the white-brown ryadovka Tricholoma albobrunneum belongs to inedible mushrooms, but in some scientific sources it is classified as a conditionally edible species.

In this case, a preliminary heat treatment is used for 30-40 minutes to remove the bitterness.

Similarities and differences: the white-brown row is similar to the fibrous-scaly row, but the latter is distinguished by a solid scaly cap, dullness and lack of stickiness in rainy weather.

The mushroom also has similarities with the yellow-brown ryadovka. However, the leg of the yellow-brown “sister” has a ring of thin film tissue on, as well as a slimy feeling under the cap and a bitter taste.

Spotted row is another species that looks like a white-brown row. This is a slightly poisonous mushroom, characterized by the presence of dark spots on the surface of the cap, which are located at the edges in circles or radially. This mushroom lacks a tubercle in the center, the asymmetric curvature of the caps is strongly pronounced in old specimens, and the pulp has a bitter taste.

Spreading: the white-brown ryadovka or the white-brown ryadovka begins to bear fruit from August and continues almost until the end of October. Prefers pine or coniferous forests, less often found in mixed. It grows in small groups, forming rows, rarely found in single specimens. It is found throughout Russia and Europe in coniferous forests and pine forests.
