Tricholoma imbricatum is a species of agaric fungus in the family Tricholomataceae. Commonly known as the matt knight,[2] it is found in Europe and North America, where it grows on the ground in coniferous forests. Fruit bodies have a brown to reddish-brown cap, which is often scaly,[3] and ranges from 6–18 cm (2 3⁄8–7 1⁄8 in) in diameter, and a stipe that is 3.5–12 cm (1 3⁄8–4 3⁄4 in) long by 1–3 cm (3⁄8–1 1⁄8 in) thick. The gills are initially whitish in color before developing reddish-brown spots.[4][5] The spores are white.[5]
The species may be edible, but has an unpalatable tough texture.[3]
Similar species include Tricholoma dryophilum, T. fracticum, T. manzanitae, and T. vaccinum.[5] Others, which have viscid caps and are usually found in other environments, include T. muricatum, T. ustale, T. populinum.[3]
