Extract from Wikipedia article: Tricholoma sejunctum (colloquially yellow blusher in the eastern regions of North America) is a mushroom that appears across much of the Northern Hemisphere and is associated with pine forests.
Tricholoma sejunctum is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. It has a cap that ranges from grey-brown to dark brown, often with a distinctive umbo, and can grow up to 8 cm in diameter. The gills are white or light yellowish, and the stem is typically white or pale grey. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Tricholoma sejunctum has been found in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce and pine trees. It typically fruits from late summer to early autumn, and can be found in a variety of habitats, including mossy areas and sandy soils. The fungus is considered edible, but its quality is reportedly variable.
