First formally described by Person (Christiaan Hendrik Persoon) in 1801, the Tiger Row (Tricholoma pardinum) has a convoluted taxonomic history that spans over two centuries. In 1762, the German naturalist Jacob Christian Schäffer described the species Agaricus tigrinus with an illustration consistent with what is thought to be T. pardinum, and consequently the name Tricholoma tigrinum was erroneously used in some European writings.

As of now (spring 2019): some sources consider the name Tricholoma tigrinum to be synonymous with Tricholoma pardinum. However, authoritative databases (Species Fungorum, MycoBank) support Tricholoma tigrinum as a separate species, although this name is hardly practical at present and there is no modern description for it.

lohany: 4-12 cm, under favorable conditions up to 15 centimeters in diameter. In young mushrooms it is spherical, then bell-convex, in mature mushrooms it is flat-prostrate, with a thin edge wrapped inside. It is often irregular in shape, with cracks, curvatures and bends.

The skin of the cap is off-white, grayish white, light silver gray or blackish gray, sometimes with a bluish tint. It is covered with darker, flaky scales arranged concentrically, which give some “banding”, hence the name – “brindle”.

takelaka: wide, 8-12 mm wide, fleshy, of medium frequency, adherent with a tooth, with plates. Whitish, often with a greenish or yellowish tint, in mature mushrooms they secrete small watery droplets.

vovoka spora: fotsy.

disadisa: 8-10 x 6-7 microns, ovoid or ellipsoid, smooth, colorless.

leg: 4-15 cm in height and 2-3,5 cm in diameter, cylindrical, sometimes thickened at the base, solid, in young mushrooms with a slightly fibrous surface, later almost naked. White or with a light buffy coating, ocher-rusty at the base.

pulp: dense, whitish, at the cap, under the skin – grayish, in the stem, closer to the base – yellowish on the cut, on the cut and break does not change color.

Fihetseham-po simika:KOH is negative on the cap surface.

tsiro: mild, not bitter, not associated with anything unpleasant, sometimes slightly sweet.

fofona: soft, floury.

It grows on the soil from August to October in coniferous and mixed with coniferous, less often deciduous (with the presence of beech and oak) forests, on the edges. Prefers calcareous soils. Fruiting bodies appear both singly and in small groups, can form “witch circles”, can grow in small “growths”. The fungus is distributed throughout the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere, but is quite rare.

According to toxicological studies, the toxic substance has not been accurately identified.

After taking the tiger row in food, extremely unpleasant gastrointestinal and general symptoms appear: nausea, increased sweating, dizziness, convulsions, vomiting and diarrhea. They occur within 15 minutes to 2 hours after consumption and often persist for several hours, with full recovery usually taking 4 to 6 days. Cases of liver damage have been reported. The toxin, whose identity is unknown, appears to cause sudden inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach and intestines.

At the slightest suspicion of poisoning, you should immediately consult a doctor.

The earthy-gray rowing (Tricholoma terreum) is much less “fleshy”, pay attention to the location of the scales on the hat, in “Mice” the hat is radially hatched, in the tiger scales they form stripes.
