Rowing gray (Rowing streaky) - a good tasty mushroom. If Zelenushku at least someone takes, then Rowman gray almost all sidestep. Although our educational activities in one of the villages led to the fact that behind Ridovka there already we go uselessly. Locals choose everything.
Rowing gray grows in the same places, where Zelenushka, but with a greater burden to the moss. On a consistence it is more lean, than Zelenushka, but it grows much more. In salt form, the mushroom is very good, it can be salted with Zelenushka. You can also fry, marinate, dry or gray.

Hat: Large (5-10 cm in diameter), in young fungi bell-hemispherical, then, as the fruit body develops, it opens up to a half-spread with a blunt central knoll, in older specimens edges may be bent upwards, and in general the cap loses the correctness of the shapes, which a lot contribute to deep radial cracks. The cap itself is gray-olive, covered with darker radial fibers, its surface is smooth. The pulp of the cap is dense, white or grayish, possessing a slight powdery smell and taste.
Hymenophore: The plates are wide, sparse, adherent, the young ryadovok almost white or yellowish, with age they gradually turn gray.

Leg: Long (height 5-12 cm, thickness 1-3 cm), cylindrical, often deeply rooted (the fungus generally develops in the depth of the litter, so that only the uppermost part of it can be seen on the surface), white-greyish, becomes fulfilled with age. The flesh is elastic, fibrous. It is curious that, due to the special force of the internal tension of the fibers, the leg, when cut, is very quickly degraded, like a rope.

Author's comments: The gray ryadovka reconciled me not only with the rows as such (I was shy of them for a long time), but also with the collection of "ignoble" mushrooms for culinary purposes (read, not tubular or non-milky). The gray rowing is very nice, it grows very prominently, it's nice to find it, a pleasure to take in hand and put in the basket. Yes, and in the food sense very much. In a word, the mushroom that answered for the whole family of ryadovkovy. And answered convincingly.
There are a great many fungi on Earth. One of such forest representatives is gray mushroom. Many mushroom pickers, both amateurs and even professionals in this business, sometimes never met her. Therefore, it is especially important to know what mushrooms look like, like rowing gray.
External features
A representative of this family has a dark gray cap, which can often have a slight purple hue. The gray cap can be 40-100 mm in diameter. The upper part of it is very smooth, but over time it becomes more rotten, it cracks and loses its former attractive appearance.
The legs of the mushrooms are high (50-100 mm) and have a wide base and trunk (10-20 mm). The color is white, may have a grayish or yellowish tint.
If we talk about the pulp that this species has, then they also have a white color, and sometimes pale grayish, and sometimes they even have light yellow shades. The smell of the pulp is a bit floury, and the taste is pleasant enough.
It is important to say about the spore powder and the disputes themselves. The powder is of the same white color, the spores are colorless, the structure is smooth, the shape is ovoid.

When and where can I collect?
Mushrooms of this type can be found in October, November and even December in the pine forest, where they grow in large groups. Next to them, you can always find similar families of greenfinches, which are great for marinating, cooking, frying and drying.
When drying, many mushrooms do not lose their wonderful taste.
The gray ryadovka has a great similarity with other members of the family: the rowing is earthy and poisonous. There is also a white, tiger (poisonous), purple-legged, purple, crowded. Going to the forest, you must be completely confident in your knowledge or use the services, knowledge and experience of a specialist in the search and collection of mushrooms of this particular species. Jokes with mushrooms are bad, and a mistake in the collection can be very expensive.
Family ryadovkovyh has about 2500 macromycetes. And ryadovki edible are very popular with fans of "quiet hunting". The reason for this is the relative simplicity and good yield. In addition, many varieties are very tasty.
Purple rows
Poplar rows
In the people, this mushroom is called podtopolnik or sandstone. These are edible (third category). Search for this macromycete need in deciduous forests with the presence of poplar. It is found in parks, in landings, along roads and banks of reservoirs. These mushrooms, as a rule, hide under a layer of fallen leaves. Grows in large clusters. Collection period - August-September.
Rows gray
In the people, these macromycetes are called "mice mice". These are edible. They grow on sandy soils in coniferous and mixed forests with the obligatory presence of pine. These macromycetes are distinguished by powdery aroma and pleasant taste of pulp. Differentiate them with a fibrous row (poisonous). Mice are growing, as a rule, in large groups. They are found in the European part of the Russian Federation, in the Far East and in Siberia. Collection time is September-November. The mushroom is very tasty in salted and pickled form, although it is suitable for other types of culinary applications.
Reds are red
These mushrooms are better known as honey yellow-red or pine mushrooms. Their flesh has a sour smell. Red rows - edible (fourth category). It is better to collect them young, since the old macromycetes have a very unpleasant taste. The taste of the fungus is low, so it is not very popular among mushroom pickers. Red line is found in pine forests of temperate climatic zones. Often it can be seen on the stumps and trunks of fallen trees. It grows in groups and one by one. Collection time - from mid-summer to frost.
Crowded
These mushrooms are harvested in the autumn-summer period. The crowded rows are edible. Photos of them below. They taste like chicken meat, for which they are highly valued. These mushrooms grow in mixed and deciduous forests. They are found together with morels. They can also be found in gardens, park areas and landings. These macromycetes hide under fallen leaves, so finding them is not easy. These mushrooms grow from common hemp and often grow together with caps.
Green
In the people, these mushrooms are called "zelenuhi" or "Zelenushka" They are edible and quite tasty. These macromycetes grow on sandy soils in pine forests. However, it is possible to meet from in mixed arrays. A characteristic feature is that these macromycetes are hidden in the ground and forest floor, because of which litter and sand stick to them. Therefore, green ryadovki difficult in preparation for culinary processing. Collect them in October-November.
