Water spotted, yellow-brown and golden

The ranks received their name for a reason: they grow in rows or large groups. These fruiting bodies can be found throughout the Russian Federation in the temperate forest zone. It is known that all types of rows are autumn mushrooms. Among them there are both edible and inedible and even poisonous representatives. Mushroom pickers with experience really value rowers, because they have high taste qualities, and also lend themselves perfectly to various processing processes. However, first of all, you need to know what this or that type of this fruiting body looks like.

Yellowish-brown fowl - a fairly common lamellar mushroom, belonging to the Ryadovkov family. It is classified as conditionally edible, but there are sources that call this fruiting body inedible and even poisonous.

Below is a photo and description of the row of yellow-brown.

Water spotted (Lepista gilva) or brownish-yellow talker (Clitocybe gilva)

According to one source, water spotted (Lepista gilva) It is considered an edible or conditionally edible species, while some foreign sources call it poisonous. However, most mycologists agree that this fungus is still edible, but is of little value due to the poor quality of taste. In this regard, the water-spotted rowing or brownish-yellow talker today, as a rule, is rarely collected.

Latin name: Lepista gilva.

Family: Ordinary.

Synonyms: brownish-yellow talker, brownish-yellow rowan, Paralepista gilva, Clitocybe gilva.

Hat: rather large, 4-10 cm in diameter, sometimes reaches 15 cm, flat, slightly visible tubercle in the center. Old specimens have a funnel-shaped hat, its edges remain tucked all the time. The color is variable, often vague, brownish-leathery, yellow-orange, reddish, brownish-yellow. Over time, the surface may fade to a creamy, almost white color, often with rusty spots.
