Ryadovka Gulden is one of the many representatives of the Ryadovkov family of mushrooms. It was first described in 2009 and classified as conditionally edible. It is not distinguished by bright external signs and high taste properties. Fruiting bodies of this row are found in Northern Europe in the forests where spruce grows.
What does the Row Gulden look like?
In nature, there are more than 100 varieties of mushrooms belonging to the rowers. Of these, about 45 species grow in Russia, including especially valuable subspecies, but Gulden is not one of them. In the literature, the name of this mushroom is also used - Tricholoma guldeniae.
In one of the first descriptions, the researchers noted that this mushroom is rare and only grows in the forests of Northern Europe.
Outwardly, the Guilder row does not look attractive. Due to the gray-white flowers in the color of the fruit body, inherent in many other Ryadovkovs, and the lack of bright characteristic features, this species is not easy to identify.
Morphologically, the fungus belongs to the distinct ryadovka group (Tricholoma sejunctum). This is a northern variety of the dirty yellow ryadovka (Tricholoma luridum), which is found only on calcareous soils, in mountainous mixed forests of central and southern Europe, where spruce, fir, beech are present.

Features of the appearance of Tricholoma Guilder:
- Hat. The average diameter of the cap is 4 - 8 cm. Sometimes you can find larger specimens up to 10 cm in diameter. At high humidity, the surface is covered with a sticky film and can be painted in different shades of gray palette: from dark to olive gray. The color is not solid, but textured. Through the colored fibers oriented from the top to the edges, a light background with an olive, yellowish or light green undertone appears. Young fruit bodies have a conical bell-shaped cap with curved edges. With age, it becomes prostrate, with a tubercle at the top. Its edges at a mature fruiting body are even or slightly curved upward.
- Pulp. This species is characterized by loose, loose flesh. It is light, with a shade of gray or yellowish green. In places of damage it acquires a dark gray color. Her smell and taste are not clearly expressed, they give off floury notes.
- Plates. The color of the plates is uniform, dull yellow or whitish green. They are wide, adherent, and infrequently located. Each of them may have a notch or notch on the edge. With age, in dry weather, the plates along the edge of the cap dry out. The yellowness in their color increases, shades of gray appear. Places of damage to the plates may have gray edges. In cold weather, grayness is less pronounced.
Attention! Grayish shades in the color of the plates of mature specimens are an uninformative sign.They do not appear every year and not in all Row Gulden populations. - Leg. The shape of the leg is not correct. It has a slight taper, tapering towards the base. There are young representatives in which the leg may have a thickening in the lower third. Its size range varies widely: length - 4 - 10 cm, diameter - 0.8 - 1.5 cm. In specimens growing in tall dense grass, the leg is longer. Representatives of the same population can have legs, both with smooth and with a pronounced scaly surface. The color of the scales can be from light to dirty gray.
- Disputes. Spore powder of this type of ryadovka is white. Spores with a smooth surface have an inhomogeneous shape: they are spherical and elliptical.

Where does the mushroom ryadovka Gulden grow?
The Gulden rowing season begins in mid-September and lasts until early November. They prefer loamy as well as calcareous soils. The variety is found in coniferous and mixed forests with a predominance of spruce. Occasionally it is found in forest plantations, where there is also birch, hazel, mountain ash, aspen.
Some mycologists believe that with spruce Gulden forms mycorrhiza. But there is no exact data confirming this.
Is it possible to eat a row of Guilder
Row Gulden is described as a conditionally edible mushroom. It is eaten after preliminary heat treatment.
Mushroom taste
There is information about the pleasant taste of this mushroom, reminiscent of wheat flour. The smell of ryadovka Guilder flour is hardly perceptible.
Benefits and harm to the body
This mushroom has been little studied. In the studies of Danish scientists, it is emphasized that it is rarely found, only a few specimens have been found. There are no data on its beneficial and harmful properties for the human body.
False doubles
Experienced mycologists recognize this species by examining their spores with a microscope. They are heterogeneous in size and shape. In addition, spores from different specimens of the Gulden row of the same population may have significantly different average sizes.
The Gulden rowing has the greatest external similarity with the sulfur rowing, which grows only in pine forests on sandy soils. There are no gray tones in the color of its plates.
Very similar to the Gulden mushroom, the ridge is pointed. Its fruiting body is poisonous. It has three important distinguishing features:
- thin leg;
- bulge on the cap;
- gray plates.
You can confuse the Row Gulden with inedible mushrooms, for example, toadstool.
Collection rules
Row Guilder is a rare specimen, information about which is very little. Therefore, if found, it should not be ripped off, but it is recommended to report it to the environmental authorities.
Use
Row Gulden is not used in its raw form. Having previously boiled it, it is fried. You can pickle and pickle this mushroom.
Conclusion
Ryadovka Gulden is a mushroom, the properties of which are poorly understood. It was first described in the writings of Copenhagen mycologists. This variety is conditionally edible, sometimes it is found in northern forests, near spruce trees, on loamy and calcareous soils. There is no reliable information about the influence of representatives of this species on the human body.
