Poplar poplar is popularly referred to as poplar mushroom, poplar tree or clerk. Macromycete got its name for its habitat. It grows in the immediate vicinity of poplars or under them. Ryadovka poplar in terms of taste and nutritional value is assigned to the third category of edibility. This mushroom is completely suitable for eating, but first you need to rinse it well, soak it (to remove the bitterness) and boil it. This macromycete is suitable for preparing various dishes, but it is most delicious in marinated and salted form.
Description
The poplar mushroom, poplar at a young age, has a hemispherical (sometimes irregular shape) and convex hat. In adulthood, it becomes prostrate, and later - depressed, fractured, often has an indefinite shape. The color of the hat varies from tan to dark brown with a reddish tint. Sometimes there are pale green spots on it. The diameter of the cap is up to 15 cm. Its edges are variously wavy and somewhat lighter in shade. Her surface is uneven, often with cracks and pits, bare, dry. In wet weather, the hat becomes very slippery. That is why the particles of soil and mote attract the poplar rowan. Photos of her are available in this article.
The flesh of the macromycete is white (grayish-brown under the skin), fleshy, dense. Her taste is pleasant, the smell of flour. When chewing, it crunches. The intermediate and main plates are notched, frequent, light with a pinkish tinge. As the fungus ages, they turn brown or have red spots on them. The legs of different macromycetes may be uneven in size. In some specimens they are thick, in others they are thin. Leg height - up to 7 cm, diameter - up to 4 cm. It is cylindrical and somewhat flattened. Below it is yellowish-brownish, and above whitish. The surface of the legs is dull, fibrous, dry. The pulp is white. First, the leg inside is solid and dense, then it becomes loose, and then hollow.
Habitat
Ryadovka poplar settles in deciduous plantings with the presence of poplar. The mushroom is well covered with leaves, so finding it can be difficult. Poplar poplar almost always grows in large communities. This mushroom is common wherever poplars are. It can be found in European countries, in the middle lane and southern regions of the Russian Federation, in Siberia, the Urals, and also in the Far East. The fruiting season of this macromycete begins with leaf fall. It needs to be collected at the end of August and September.
Doubles
Ryadovka poplar in youth in color and shape somewhat resembles a crowded row, however, it greatly exceeds the last in size, and also has a bitter taste. In addition, the clerk is always almost completely covered with grains of sand and forest specks. But even confusing these mushrooms is not scary, since the crowded rowing is quite valuable edible macromycete. Things are different with another double. Topolnik can sometimes be confused with a poisonous tiger row. However, they have two significant differences. Firstly, the clerk almost always lives in large communities, and secondly, he always coexists with poplars.
