Pogonoloma is a mushroom genus in the family Tricholomataceae in a broad sense.
[1] Pogonoloma has a tricholomatoid stature (i.e. has a notched gill attachment, a thick fleshy stipe and lacks an annulus or volva), a pileus with a margin covered in soft hairs (pilose), gills that are adnate to emarginate (notched), and white to cream colored.
Its basidiospores are amyloid, smooth, ellipsoid, and have thin walls.
The cap cuticle is a cutis of cylindrical hyphae with intracellular pigments.
[1] The name Pogonoloma is derived from the Ancient Greek words pogon meaning beard and loma meaning fringe or border in reference to the pilose margin of the type.
