Description

Tricholoma equestre, the yellow knight, forms ectomycorrhiza with conifers. It grows in dry pine woods, less often in mixed forest, singly or in groups of five to eight, usually on sandy soils, and appears when other edible mushrooms are already over. Season: September to November, until the first frosts. Translated from the Russian-language Wikipedia.
