Extract from Wikipedia article: Tricholoma pessundatum is a mushroom of the agaric genus Tricholoma. First described as Agaricus pessundatus by Elias Magnus Fries in 1821, it was transferred to the genus Tricholoma by Lucien Quélet in 1872.
Tricholoma pessundatum is a species of mushroom found in northern Europe and Russia. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in coniferous forests, especially with spruce and pine, from August to October. The cap is 3-7 cm in diameter, grayish-brown to brown, and often has a distinctive umbo. The gills are white to cream-colored, and the stem is cylindrical, white to grayish. In north-western Russia, it is considered a rare species, but can be found in similar habitats, including mossy spruce forests and heathlands.
