Spotted ryadovka (Tricholoma pessundatum) is an inedible mushroom from the Ryadovkovy (Tricholomov) family, belonging to the genus Ryadovok.
External Description
The caps of spotted rows have a diameter of 5 to 15 cm. In young fruiting bodies, they are convex, while in ripe mushrooms, the caps open completely, and a depression remains in their middle. The edges of the caps of this type of rows are often tucked up, thick, have irregular bends and are red-brown in color. Very rarely, on the surface of the caps, the rows of wavy-legged ones have a teardrop-spotted pattern.
The hymenophore of the fungus is represented by a lamellar type, consists of white plates, which in old, overripe mushrooms turn reddish-brown and become stained.
Mushroom pulp is white in color, has a characteristic smell of stale flour. The leg of these rows is white, short in length and high in density. It is cylindrical in shape, can reach 3-8 cm in length, and its thickness varies within 2-3 cm.
The spores of the spotted rows have no color, are characterized by a smooth surface and have an elliptical shape. Their dimensions are 3-5 * 2-3 microns.
Grebe season and habitat
Spotted rows (Tricholoma pessundatum) mushroom pickers do not often meet on their way. The period of their active fruiting begins in September, and ends in the second half of October. This type of rows prefers to grow on acidic soils, in spruce forests, in the middle of pine sandy forests. Most often, spotted rows are found in mixed or coniferous forests.
Edibility
The spotted mushroom (Tricholoma pessundatum) is poisonous and therefore not suitable for human consumption. And although the level of toxic substances in the fruiting bodies of this row is low, when it enters the human body, the fungus often causes disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and poisoning.
Similar types and differences from them
Spotted rows are very similar in appearance to the edible mushroom – poplar row (Tricholoma populinum). However, the latter is distinguished by a smooth hat that has the correct shape. It is almost impossible to meet a poplar row in the forest, and it grows mainly under aspens and poplars.
