Notes The cap had the feel of felt and was subumbonate. Cap diameter 9.5 cm; stipe length 11 cm (solid). Gills were white but later stained yellowish. Odour was light fungoid. Flesh was white and solid. Spore print was white.
Review Comments The closest match that I can come to is a gray form of Tricholoma saponaceum, a species complex that needs further study. We can rule out T. pardinum because the cap is not scaly. We can rule out T. portentosum since the cap is not viscid.
