Extract from Wikipedia article: Tricholoma sulphureum, also known as sulphur knight or gas agaric, is an inedible or mildly poisonous mushroom found in woodlands in Europe. It has a distinctive bright yellow colour and an unusual smell likened to coal gas. It occurs in deciduous woodlands in Europe from spring to autumn.
Tricholoma sulphureum is a medium-sized agaric fungus with a sulfurous-yellow cap and gills, and a stout stem. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with pine and spruce trees. It fruits from late summer to early autumn, forming scattered groups or rings on the ground. In north-western Russia, T. sulphureum is widely distributed and can be found in various forest types, including those dominated by birch, aspen, and alder. The fungus is considered edible, but not highly prized due to its strong sulfur-like odor and taste.
