When to pick mushrooms rowing in the forest?

Rows are a whole family of mushrooms, including a huge variety of varieties. Most of them are edible, they can be freely eaten. Conditionally edible, inedible and even poisonous species are also found. All of them have a different color and taste. Rowing is considered one of the most common fruiting bodies, but not all mushroom pickers decide to collect them. The fact is that due to their unusual color, they can be confused with poisonous grebes. It is very important to know what edible rowans look like, when to collect them and in which forests.

The rowers themselves are very tasty, from them you can cook a lot of amazingly healthy dishes and make excellent preparations for the winter. About 250 species of edible rows grow on our territory. They can be found in almost all forests. The most common ones are gray, poplar, violet, giant, massive, and yellow. Matsutake mushroom is also considered to be equally popular, but in Russia it can be found only in the Primorsky Territory.

Where growers and when to collect them?

Before you know when to start picking mushrooms, you should note which forests and soils they prefer. So, these fruiting bodies choose mainly mixed and coniferous forests for their settlement. They often grow on sandy soil or forest litter. Very often, row rows grow in rows or circles, forming the so-called “witch rings”. Thus, from one small area, you can collect more than one basket of delicious fruiting bodies.

So, when is it possible to collect rowing in the forest? First of all, it must be said that the vast majority of rows are autumn mushrooms. You can meet them from the end of August until the end of October. Sometimes rowing can be found even in the middle and end of November: everything will depend on the climatic features of a particular area.

The most abundant fruiting is observed after the first September cold weather, as well as in early October, when “Indian summer” begins.

Some rows are “lost” in time and begin to grow in the month of May, however, this happens quite rarely. However, it is best to go to the forest with the onset of the first month of autumn or when all the foliage has already fallen. When to pick row mushrooms, how they look and how to distinguish them from inedible and poisonous species are the main questions that every mushroom picker should know the answers to.
