AI-generated description
Tricholoma scalpturatum is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. It is characterized by its medium-sized cap, which is 3-6 cm in diameter, convex to flat, and often has a wavy margin. The cap surface is typically brown or grey-brown with radial fibrils. The gills are white or cream-colored, and the stem is 3-6 cm tall, cylindrical, and white or light brown. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Tricholoma scalpturatum has been found in coniferous and mixed forests, typically growing under spruce, pine, or fir trees. Fruitings occur from August to October, often in mossy areas or on humus-rich soil. The fungus is considered edible, but not highly prized due to its variable flavor and texture.
