Inedible mushroom

The ranks comprise more than 2500 species, most of which are edible or conditionally edible, and only a small part of them are poisonous. One of such mushrooms is a sulfur-yellow row, which will be discussed in this article.

Opinions of specialists in mycologists regarding the mushroom rowing sulfur-yellow are very different. Some consider it poisonous, others simply inedible. In Russia, this fungus is classified as a poisonous species, which has low toxicity. Nevertheless, it is worth saying that in most reference publications designed to identify and describe fruiting bodies, sulfur-yellow rowing is considered inedible. At the same time, other sources indicate that the fungus is poisonous, although not fatal. The worst that can happen from eating this fruiting body is mild poisoning in the form of an intestinal upset, without a fatal outcome.

Sulfurous false rowing grows in deciduous and coniferous forests, often on soil, sometimes on fallen trees and stumps, which are covered with moss.

Fruiting of the fungus begins in mid-August and continues until the first frost.

It is important to remember! Since the description of the poisonous representative of the rank-and-file family is very similar to the description of the edible greenfinch, they should be collected only to those who can accurately determine the edible instance from the inedible. Therefore, if you are not sure which mushroom is in front of you, do not risk cutting it off. Exercising caution in this matter will help you avoid unpleasant consequences that can cause false rankings.
