Pseudotricholoma

Pseudotricholoma is a genus of fungi in the family Tricholomataceae.

Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) resemble those of the genus Tricholoma, with a dry fibrillose pileus and white to brown lamellae that have adnate to emarginate attachment and stain reddish when damaged, eventually turning black.

Microscopically, the basidiospores are smooth, ellipsoid to ellipsoid-oblong, thin-walled and amyloid.

The pileipellis is a cutis and clamp connections are present.

Species in Pseudotricholoma are found on soil in grasslands and woods.
