Ryadovka green (greenfinch): photo and description
It is worth saying that various scientific sources providing a description and photo of the green row indicate the conditional edibility of this fruiting body. But modern biologists believe that the substances that give the green color to the hat during the heat treatment are not destroyed and can lead to poisoning, which is a danger to the human cardiovascular system. Scientists have found that when a large dose of green rows is consumed, blood viscosity and platelet count increase. And this can lead to the development of heart attack and thrombosis. However, on the other hand, these fruit bodies contain proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins B1, B2, PP and D, which are necessary for the human body. In addition, the green rowan (greenfinch) is rich in carotene, phosphorus and pantothenic acid. So, based on the foregoing, it should be borne in mind that eating such a mushroom in food in large quantities is prohibited.
Although the mushroom row green (greenfinch) can be prepared in different ways: fry, boil, salt, pickle, stew, eat it should only be in limited quantities. There is one important rule to remember: rinse thoroughly with mushrooms and peel the hat off. If the mushrooms are salted, boiled or pickled, the jar produces a beautiful rich green color of mushrooms. And if you cook the green row properly and consume in reasonable quantities - you get an excellent vitamin supplement to your daily diet, especially in the winter.

Growing on dry sandy soils, this fungus rarely becomes wormy. In this article we will provide a full description and photo of green row mushrooms, so that every lover of the “quiet hunt” could recognize this fruiting body in the forest and collect the corresponding harvest.
The name of the row of green came from the characteristic appearance of the fruiting body, which is distinguished by the bright green color of the hat.

Family: Ordinary.
Synonyms: greenfinch, green rowade, green mushroom.
Hat: It has a strong and dense body, which is practically not spoiled by worms. A photo of the greenhouse mushroom, shows that the cap is fleshy and convex in the early stages. At a later age, it becomes open and almost flat, often radially cracking. Diameter from 3 to 15 cm, with a bright green or green-yellow hue. The center of the hat is darker in color, covered with small scales. In wet weather, the hat becomes slippery and sticky, which makes it possible to stick sand, leaves and grass to it.
Leg: short, slightly thickened downwards, at the base covered with small brown scales. In the photo of the row of green (greenfinch), it is 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. With a break or cut, the color immediately changes. The taste is not pronounced, but it has the smell of fresh flour. In rows of green growing on pines, the aroma is stronger.

How to distinguish greenfinch from rows of gray-yellow and when to collect these mushrooms
Similarities and differences: greenfinch mushroom is very similar to the poisonous sulfur-yellow row. How to distinguish greenfinch from the rank of sulfur-yellow, 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 order of sulfur-yellow and greenfinch is the unpleasant smell of tar soap, a bitter taste and a dirty yellow color.
The mushroom also resembles a stinging row, in which there is a cone-shaped hat and a specifically sharp taste. In addition, burning rowan grows only under fir trees, less often prefers pine trees.
The greenfinch can be confused with the poisonous cobweb found in deciduous forests. The difference is that the cobweb has a tuber at the base, and the mucous layer remains between the edges of the cap and the leg. These mushrooms never grow under pine trees.
There are other doubles - sultry and isolated, who are inedible, but completely not dangerous to health.
Spread: rowan green 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. They grow in small groups of 8-15 copies or a smaller number. Zelenushki often side by side with row of sulfur - an edible mushroom, which differs only in the color of the legs and hats. Forests of temperate zones of Russia abound in rows of green and are considered an ordinary edible mushroom.
Recall when to collect a row of green (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.
