Extract from Wikipedia article: Tricholoma equestre or Tricholoma flavovirens, also known as man on horseback or yellow knight is a formerly widely eaten but hazardous fungus of the genus Tricholoma that forms ectomycorrhiza with pine trees.
Tricholoma equestre is a medium to large-sized fungus with a brownish-gray cap, white gills, and a stipe of similar color to the cap. It grows in association with coniferous trees, particularly pine. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Tricholoma equestre typically fruits from July to October, often in sandy soils beneath pine stands. The species is relatively common in these regions, where it can be found in forests, parks, and other areas with suitable habitat.
