These are [[ectomycorrhizal fungus|ectomycorrhizal fungi]], existing in a symbiotic relationship with various species of coniferous or broad-leaved trees. The generic name derives from the [[Ancient Greek|Greek]] ''trichos''/τριχος 'hair' and ''loma''/λωμα 'hem', 'fringe' or 'border',<ref name=nilper>{{cite book | last = Nilson|first= Sven |coauthors= Olle Persson | year = 1977 | title = Fungi of Northern Europe 2: Gill-Fungi | publisher = Penguin|isbn=0-14-063006-6|pages=p. 24}}</ref> although only a few species (such as ''T. vaccinum'') have shaggy caps which fit this description. Some well-known species are the [[East Asia]]n ''[[Tricholoma matsutake]]'', also known as "[[matsutake]]" or ''songi'', and the North American species ''[[Tricholoma magnivelare]]'', also known as "ponderosa mushroom", "American matsutake", or "[[Pine mushroom]]". Some are safe to eat, yet there are a few poisonous members, such as ''[[Tricholoma pardinum|T. pardinum]]'', ''[[Tricholoma tigrinum|T. tigrinum]]'' and ''[[Tricholoma equestre|T. equestre]]''. Many species originally described within Tricholoma have since been moved to other genera. These include the Wood blewit (''[[Clitocybe nuda]]''), previously ''Tricholoma nudum'', blewit (''[[Clitocybe saeva]]''), previously ''Tricholoma personatum'', and St George's mushroom (''[[Calocybe gambosa]]'') previously ''Tricholoma gambosum''. ==Species list== [[Image:Tricholoma fulvum 041031w.jpg|thumb|150px|right|''T. fulvum'']] [[Image:Tricholoma lascivum.jpg|thumb|150px|right|''T. lascivum'']] [[Image:Tricholoma scalpuratum 20061014wa.jpg|thumb|150px|right|''T. scalpuratum'']] [[Image:Tricholoma sulphureum 031123w.jpg|thumb|100px|right|''T. sulphureum'']] [[Image:Tricholoma terreum 20061105wa.jpg|thumb|150px|right|''T. terreum'' (or ''T. myomyces'')]] *[[Image:Poisonous toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma aestuans]]'' *[[Image:Inedible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma albobrunneum]]'' *[[Image:Edible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma argyraceum]]'' (aka ''T. sculpturatum'') *[[Image:Poisonous toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma auratum]]'' - golden ''Tricholoma'' *[[Image:Edible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma columbetta]]'' - dove-coloured ''Tricholoma '' *[[Image:Poisonous toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma equestre]]'' (previously ''T. flavovirens'') - Man-on-Horseback *[[Image:Unknown toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma eucalypticum]]'' *[[Image:Inedible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma fulvum]]'' *[[Image:Edible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Calocybe gambosa|Tricholoma gambosum]]'' - aka ''Calocybe gambosa'' *[[Image:Edible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma imbricatum]]'' - matt knight-cap *[[Image:Poisonous toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma inamoenum]]'' *[[Image:Edible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma magnivelare]]'' - pine mushroom, American matsutake *[[Image:Choice toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[matsutake|Tricholoma matsutake]]'' - matsutake *[[Image:Edible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma orirubens]]'' *[[Image:Poisonous toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma pardinum]]'' *[[Image:Poisonous toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma pessundatum]]'' *[[Image:Unknown toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma populinum]]'' *[[Image:Edible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma portentosum]]'' *[[Image:Inedible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma saponaceum]]'' - soap-scented toadstool *[[Image:Inedible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma sejunctum]]'' *[[Image:Edible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma squarrulosum]]'' *[[Image:Poisonous toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma sulphureum]]'' - sulphur ''Tricholoma'', gas agaric *[[Image:Edible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma terreum]]'' (= ''T. myomyces'') - grey knight-cap *[[Image:Poisonous toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma tigrinum]]'' *[[Image:Poisonous toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma ustale]]'' *[[Image:Inedible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma vaccinum]]'' - scaly ''Tricholoma'' , scaly agaric *[[Image:Inedible toxicity icon.png|20px]]''[[Tricholoma virgatum]]'' - streaked ''Tricholoma'' ==External links== *[http://www.mushroomexpert.com/tricholoma.html Mushroom Expert - The Genus Tricholoma] *[http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Tricholoma_magnivelare.html Mykoweb profile of ''T. magnivelare''] *[http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/mycology/ MYCOLOGY/bionet.mycology Archives] ==References== {{Reflist}} {{commonscat|Tricholoma}} *Marcel Bon : ''The Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain and North-western Europe'' (Hodder & Stoughton 1987).
