Identification
Gray cap, white→pale-yellow gills, whitish stem with yellow tones; smell mealy. Under pines, late season.
Edibility
Good edible — the yellow-tinged gills distinguish it from poisonous gray tricholomas.
In practice
- Gray cap + yellowish gills + pine forest + late autumn = grey tricholoma.
- Without the yellow tinge — compare against tiger tricholoma (scaly, white-gilled, poisonous).
