Tricholoma pessundatum is a mushroom of the agaric genus Tricholoma.
First described as Agaricus pessundatus by Elias Magnus Fries in 1821, it was transferred to the genus Tricholoma by Lucien Quélet in 1872.[2]
Description
The orangish cap is up to 18 centimetres (7 in) across, with a lighter margin, and is viscid when wet. The gills are white but develop stains and vary in attachment. The stem is up to 14 cm (5+1⁄2 in) long. The spore print is white.[3]
It has a sour meal odor.[4]

A very similar species to the European mushroom is Tricholoma muricatum, which differs only in microscopic details.[5]
