Description
A hat with a diameter of 1.5 – 6 cm (sometimes up to 8 cm); at first it has a shape from bell-shaped to hemispherical, but with straightens with age and becomes wide-convex, flat or even slightly concave. In the center there may be a small tubercle, but this not necessary. The surface of the hat is smooth, dry, matte, slightly velvety; dull, initially whitish or cream, later it darkens and becomes from honey or pinkish dark beige to pale ocher, the color of natural suede, the shade in the center of the hat is more saturated than to the edges.
The plates are grown or notched, often with descending prong, fairly thick, soft, fairly wide, fairly rare, whitish or pale yellowish.
Spore powder is white. Disputes elliptical, 8-11 x 6-7.5 microns
Leg 5 – 12 cm long and 3 – 13 mm thick (sometimes up to 18 mm), cylindrical or expanded at the base; with smooth, thin-fibrous or “powdered” surface; from white to cream or pale yellowish.
The pulp is thin, white, with a strong unpleasant the smell of tar or light gas (similar to the smell of rowing sulfur yellow). The taste is initially mild, but then unpleasant, from slightly rancid to severely bitter.
Ecology and distribution
Smelly rowfish forms mycorrhiza with spruce (genus Picea) and fir (genus Abies). Usually it is confined to moist forests with developed thick mossy soil, but it can also be found in bilberry conifers. She prefers soils from slightly acidic to calcareous. This is a fairly common species in Scandinavia and Finland, as well as in the fir-fir forest zone of Central Europe and Alps. On the plains of the north-west of Europe, as in places of natural spruce growth, and in artificial plantings, it is extremely rare or absent. In addition, smelly rowing is marked in North America, which perhaps makes it look the whole of northern temperate zone.
Similar species
Tricholoma lascivum has an unpleasantly sweet smell at first, later chemical, similar to the smell of light gas, and very bitter taste. This species is strictly associated with beech. White row Tricholoma album forms mycorrhiza with oak. Ryadovka chastoplate Tricholoma stiparophyllum forms mycorrhiza with birch and occurs both in deciduous and mixed forests (including in spruce trees mixed with birch), differs in burning taste, rare smell and frequent records.
Edibility
The mushroom is inedible due to the disgusting smell and bitter taste. Smelly rowing in some sources is classified as hallucinogenic mushrooms, when eaten, can cause visual and auditory hallucinations.
