Knight), the caps expand with a low central umbo, mature caps are radially
streaky. It is generally considered a rather poor but edible mushroom. Also
is very rare in Britain with only one formally recorded sighting. It is a more
common find in central and southern mainland Europe. Tricholoma
pardinum is also recorded in some parts of North America.

The cap is whitish in colour with coarse brownish scales. The gills are free
and white, usually turning dark and green with maturity. It has a rare
green spore print. The tall stipe may be up to 25 cm tall and bears a ring.

the parasol mushroom
