Tricholomais agenusoffungusthat contains many fairly fleshy white-sporedgilled mushroomswhich are found worldwide generally growing in woodlands. These areectomycorrhizal fungi,existing in a symbiotic relationship with various species of coniferous or broad-leaved trees. The generic name derives fromAncient Greek:τριχο-,romanized:tricho-,lit. 'hair' andAncient Greek:λῶμα,romanized:loma,lit. 'fringe, border'[1]although only a few species (such asT. vaccinum) have shaggy caps which fit this description.
The most sought out species are theEast AsianTricholoma matsutake,also known asmatsutakeorsongi,and the North AmericanTricholoma magnivelarespecies complex, also known as "ponderosa mushroom", "American matsutake", or "pine mushroom".Others are safe to eat, such asTricholoma terreum,but there are a few poisonous members, such asT. pardinum,T. tigrinumandT. equestre.
Many species originally described within Tricholoma have since been moved to other genera. These include the Wood blewit (Clitocybe nuda), previouslyTricholoma nudum,blewit (Clitocybe saeva), previouslyTricholoma personatum,and St George's mushroom (Calocybe gambosa) previouslyTricholoma gambosum.
