TRICHOLOMA SEJUNCTUM Meaning and
Definition
-
Tricholoma sejunctum is a species of mushroom belonging to the Tricholoma genus, which is a diverse group of fungi found worldwide. Tricholoma sejunctum is commonly known by the common names dotted tricholoma or the false turkey tail. It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with various tree species, especially oaks and conifers.
The fruiting bodies of Tricholoma sejunctum typically have a convex to flat cap shape with a diameter ranging from 5 to 10 centimeters. The cap color varies but is often pale brown with dark brown scales or dots that are more concentrated towards the center. The gills are white to cream in color and can sometimes exhibit a slight greenish or bluish tint. The stem is cylindrical, solid, and has a similar coloration to the cap, often with fine fibers or scales.
Tricholoma sejunctum is an edible mushroom, although it is not widely sought after due to its relatively mild taste and firm texture. Care must be taken when foraging for these mushrooms as they can be easily confused with poisonous or inedible species. The false turkey tail is considered a saprotrophic fungus, meaning it primarily obtains nutrients by decomposing organic matter in the soil or litter layer.
In conclusion, Tricholoma sejunctum is a species of mushroom that forms symbiotic relationships with trees, has distinct physical characteristics, and is relatively safe for consumption if properly identified.
