Tricholoma sejunctum (colloquially yellow blusher in the eastern regions of North America) [3] is a mushroom that appears across much of the Northern Hemisphere and is associated with pine forests.
The cap is greenish-brownish yellow, slightly moist, and has dark fibrils near the center. The gills and stipe are whitish-yellow. The odor is mild to mealy and the taste mild to unpleasant. [4]
There is some confusion as to the certain identification of the species, so it is considered unsafe for eating. [4] While classified as inedible by some field guides, [5] it seems to have been traditionally consumed in much of world without noted ill effects.[ citation needed] More recently, in Europe it has been identified as responsible for poisonings.[ citation needed]
The species is reportedly consumed in China's Yunnan province, where it is generally known as 荞面菌 ( Pinyin: qiao mian jun; lit. 'Buckwheat Noodle Mushroom') on account of this property, despite the fact that its proper name is 黄绿口蘑 (lit. 'Yellow Green Mouth Mushroom').[ citation needed]
Tricholoma flavovirens is usually larger and fleshier, with more solid yellow gills and stipe and a less fibrillose cap. [4] Other similar species include Tricholoma arvernense, and T. viridilutescens. [4]
