Extract from Wikipedia article: Tricholoma imbricatum is a species of agaric fungus in the family Tricholomataceae. Commonly known as the matt knight, it is found in Europe and North America, where it grows on the ground in coniferous forests. Fruit bodies have a brown to reddish-brown cap up to 9 cm (3.5 in) in diameter, and a stipe that is 3.5 to 4.5 cm (1.4 to 1.8 in) long by 1.0 to 1.2 cm (0.39 to 0.47 in) thick. The gills are initially whitish in color before developing reddish-brown spots.
Tricholoma imbricatum is a medium-sized agaric fungus with a brown to greyish-brown cap, often with darker scales, and white to cream-colored gills. It grows in association with coniferous trees, particularly spruce and pine. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from August to October in moss-covered forests and heathlands. In north-western Russia, the species is widely distributed and can be found in similar habitats, often forming mycorrhizal relationships with native tree species. The fungus is considered edible, but its culinary value is variable.
