Pseudotricholoma

Pseudotricholoma is a genus of fungi in the family Tricholomataceae. The genus contains two species known from the Canada, the United States and Europe. Pseudotricholoma was described the mycologists Marisol Sánchez-García and P. Brandon Matheny in 2014 with Pseudotricholoma umbrosum as the type species.[1]

Pseudotricholoma has a tricholomatoid stature, a dry fibrillose pileus and white to brown gills that have adnate to emarginate attachment and stain reddish when damaged, eventually turning black. The spores are smooth, ellipsoid to ellipsoid-oblong, thin-walled and amyloid. Cheilocystidia are rare to absent and pleurocystidia are absent. The pileipellis is a cutis and clamp connections are present. Species in Pseudotricholoma are found on soil in grasslands and woods in the Northern Hemisphere. They are probably biotrophic, and might be ectomycorrhizal.[1]

Macroscopically, it resembles Tricholoma and can be differentiated by its red staining gills.

Phylogenetically, it is closely related to Tricholoma and Leucopaxillus.[1]

Etymology

Pseudotricholoma means "fake Tricholoma".

Species
gollark: It makes everyone libleft!
gollark: Well, I generally err on the side of "things should preferentially not be restricted", as a libcenter-according-to-the-political-compass.
gollark: No, just *some* access to them for citizens.
gollark: Take, er, guns, knives, *end to end encryption* now (though they seem to just be trying to backdoor that), unfiltered internet connections...
gollark: For example, the UK's solution to anything dangerous or which can be misused somehow is "BAN IT!"
