Edible mushrooms of the Moscow region: photo and description of the gray row

Row gray(Tricholoma portentosum) - edible lamellar mushroom of the Ryadovkovy family.

Gray ryadovka grows in the Moscow region in all mixed and coniferous forests. The mushroom bears fruit from August until the beginning of the first frost. It is often found in friendly families near pine trunks, prefers to settle on moss, as well as on fallen, rotted leaves and needles.

The hat of this type is medium in size - up to 12 cm, rounded-conical, convex, with a small tubercle in the center, fleshy. With age, this part of the fruiting body becomes flat, and the wrapped edges straighten and crack. The color of the cap corresponds to the name - pale or gray with a darker center, sometimes there is an admixture of purple or olive shades. The surface is smooth, and when it gets wet, it becomes slightly slippery.

The leg is high (up to 10 cm), thick (up to 3 cm), cylindrical, dense, widened towards the base, often hidden under a layer of moss, leaves and needles. The surface is fibrous, white, gray, sometimes yellowish. The upper part of the leg has a weak mealy coating.

The plates are wide, sparse, sinuous, white; as they grow older, they acquire a gray or yellowish tint.

The pulp of the fruiting body is gray or white, sometimes turns yellow when broken. Dense, with a delicate flour smell and pleasant taste.

In addition to describing the mushroom, we also offer a photo of an edible row of the Moscow region:

I must say that among other edible mushrooms of the Moscow region, the purple ryadovka is one of the most popular and delicious.

The cap of the fruiting body has a characteristic color corresponding to the name, namely: purple-violet, dark-violet, in the center - brown-violet. As they grow older, the shade fades and brightens. The shape of the cap is flat-convex, up to 20 cm in diameter, with a thin curved edge, the surface is smooth, moist, fleshy.

The leg is 3 to 10 cm high, about 3 cm thick, cylindrical, dense, with a thickening downward. The surface is covered with a purple-brown felt mycelium. With age, the leg fades, becomes faded, and also hollow.
