Tricholoma sulphureum is an inedible mushroom found in woodlands in Europe. It has a distinctive bright yellow colour and an unusual smell.
[edit] Description
It has a convex cap with a vague umbo up to 8 cm across, sulphur yellow in colour. The gills, stipe and flesh are similarly bright yellow. the smell is enough to distinguish it from other yellow fungi. John Ramsbottom reports that it has a complex smell that has been likened variously to Jasmine, Narcissus, Hyacinth, Hemerocallis flava, Lilac, Tagetes, decayed hemp or coal gas, as well as described as nauseating or foetid.[1]
[edit] Distribution and habitat
Tricholoma sulphureum is found in deciduous woods in autumn.
