Tricholoma yatesii (Murrill) Murrill
Mycologia 6(5): 269. 1914.

Common Name: none

Misapplied name: Tricholoma equestre (L.) P. Kumm.

Basionym: Melanoleuca yatesii Murrill

• Description

  For description see Murrill & Bigelow.

• Habitat

  Scattered to gregarious in soil under oaks.

• Edibility

  Questionable, but it has probably been eaten many times by persons thinking it was the excellent edible, Tricholoma equestre. But the strongly farinaceous odor and poor flavor are deterrents to consumption.

• Comments

  Macroscopically, virtually identical to Tricholoma equestre, but that species is associated with pine, not oak.
