This forest dweller is quite easily recognizable due to its beautiful orange color. Orange rowing begins its fruiting together with other types of rowing, which is probably why it often goes unnoticed.

Places of growth of orange ryadovka are deciduous forests with a predominance of birch. Less commonly mixed and coniferous forests in the northern temperate zone: Ural, middle part of Russia and the Far East.

The orange row is often called orange-brown, yellow-brown or orange-brown. It grows in large colonies, forming wide rows or "witch circles". Fruiting is always active, as the mushroom copes well with an arid climate.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the description and photo of the orange or orange-brown row.
