After the end of the peak season for picking mushrooms in the forests, you can still find a green row (greenfinch). And although frosts and snow are already “looming” ahead, lovers of “silent hunting” do not refuse to collect fresh “trophies” with such a specific and original color as this one.
Green row mushrooms are widely distributed throughout Our Country. However, novice mushroom pickers often confuse greenfinch with green russula, and this especially happens when the green rows are at a young age. For comparison, look at the photo of the greenfinch mushroom and green russula.
However, even if there is confusion, you should not be afraid. Both mentioned species are edible, and they will never interfere on the table in the form of a delicious snack.

Ryadovka green (greenfinch): photo and description
[ »»]It is worth saying that various scientific sources that provide descriptions and photos of the green row indicate the conditional edibility of this fruiting body. But modern biologists believe that the substances that give the hat a green color are not destroyed during heat treatment and can lead to poisoning, which is dangerous for the human cardiovascular system. Scientists have found that when you use a large dose of green rows, blood viscosity and platelet count increase. And this can lead to the development of a heart attack and thrombosis. However, on the other hand, these fruiting bodies contain proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins B1, B2, PP and D, which are necessary for the human body. In addition, green rowing (greenfinch) is rich in carotene, phosphorus and pantothenic acid. So, based on the foregoing, it should be noted that it is forbidden to eat such a mushroom in food in large quantities.
[ »»]Although the green mushroom (greenfinch) can be cooked in different ways: fry, boil, salt, marinate, stew, it should be consumed only in limited quantities. It is necessary to remember one important rule: rinse the mushrooms thoroughly and peel the hat from the skin. If the mushrooms are salted, boiled or marinated, a beautiful saturated green color of the mushrooms is obtained in a jar. And if you properly prepare the green row and use it in reasonable quantities, you get an excellent vitamin supplement to your daily diet, especially in winter.
Mushroom ryadovka green (greenfinch) prefers all forest zones of the country: more often mixed and coniferous, less often deciduous.
Growing on dry sandy soils, this fungus rarely becomes wormy. In this article, we will provide a complete description and photo of green row mushrooms, so that every fan of “silent hunting” can recognize this fruiting body in the forest and harvest the appropriate crop.
The name of the green row comes from the characteristic appearance of the fruiting body, which is distinguished by the bright green color of the cap. Even during heat treatment, the color of the mushrooms is completely preserved. The presented photo of the green row will allow each mushroom picker to find out how it looks and to study in detail the representative of the row.
Latin name: Equestrian Tricholoma.
Family: Ordinary.
Synonyms: greenfinch, green row, green mushroom.
Hat: has a strong and dense body, which is practically not spoiled by worms. A photo of the greenfinch mushroom shows that the hat in the early stages is fleshy and convex. At a later age, it becomes prostrate and almost flat, often radially cracking. Diameter from 3 to 15 cm, with a bright green or green-yellow tint. The center of the cap is darker in color, covered with small scales. In wet weather, the hat becomes slippery and sticky, which makes it possible for sand, leaves and grass to stick to it.
Leg: short, slightly thickened downwards, covered with small brown scales at the base. In the photo of the green row (greenfinch), it can be seen that the leg is completely hidden in the soil. However, its color is immediately noticeable, because it has a green or greenish-yellow color.
Pulp: dense, white, in adulthood acquires a yellowish tint. When broken or cut, the color immediately changes. The taste is not pronounced, but has the smell of fresh flour. In green rows growing on pines, the aroma is stronger.
Records: thin, have a lemon or greenish-yellow color, which becomes darker with age.
Application: greenfinch can be salted, fried, marinated, stewed and boiled. Many consider fried green rows to be the most delicious, and in this case they do not have to be boiled.
How to distinguish greenfinches from gray-yellow rows and when to pick these mushrooms
Similarities and differences: the greenfinch mushroom is very similar to the poisonous sulfur-yellow row. How to distinguish a greenfinch from a sulfur-yellow row so that poisoning does not occur? First of all, you need to pay attention to the smell and color of the mushroom that is in front of you. The main difference between the sulfur-yellow row and the greenfinch is the unpleasant smell of tar soap, a bitter taste and a dirty yellow color.
The mushroom also resembles a burning row, which has a cone-shaped hat and a specific spicy taste. In addition, the burning rowing grows only under spruce trees, less often prefers pine trees.
Greenfinch can be confused with a poisonous cobweb found in deciduous forests. The difference is that the cobweb has a tuber at the base, and a mucous layer remains between the edges of the cap and the stem. These mushrooms never grow under pine trees.
There are other twins – a sultry and isolated row, which are inedible, but not at all dangerous to health.
Spread: Row greenfinch is a mycorrhizal fungus. Mycorrhiza is usually formed with coniferous trees. Mushrooms prefer to grow on sandy soil in pine, less often in mixed forests. Grow in small groups of 8-15 specimens or a smaller number. Zelenushki often coexist with gray row – an edible mushroom that differs only in the color of the stem and cap. The forests of the temperate zones of Our Country abound with green rows and are considered a common edible mushroom.
Recall when to collect the green row (greenfinch) growing in pine forests. The collection season for this fruiting body begins in September and ends in mid-November, when you will no longer find other rows in the forest.
