Hebeloma gigaspermum is a European species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae.
The species Hebeloma gigaspermum was first described only in 1981[1] and is very similar to the more well known Hebeloma sacchariolens (being placed in subsection Sacchariolentia of the genus). It is not uncommon in Northern Europe and until 1981 examples were probably simply considered to be H. sacchariolens.[2]
The name gigaspermum means "giant-spored".
