Tricholoma album perhaps? (1 Viewer)

Rudegar

Well-known member
Found in mixed woodland but seemed to be spread out surrounding a Corsican pine. Cap up to 10 cms across. White spores ~ 5-6.5 um x 3.5-4 um with hilar appendage. Strong smell.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I have great difficulty with these horrible white Tricholoma species - It's so tough to separate
T .album and T. stiparophyllum when found in mixed woodland (the former is said to grow with Birch, the latter Oak).
According to 'The Genus Tricholoma' by Christensen & Heilmann-Claussen they can be reliably separated by the cap margin which is ribbed in T. stiparophyllum and smooth in T. album. Yours looks smooth so I'm inclined to agree with you :)

Cheers,
Nick
