Tricholoma flavovirens ( Man on Horseback) This is an excellent edible.
It has gotten bad press in recent years, but I have eaten it for years and no
problem what so ever and it has the added bonus of fruiting when very few
other good edibles fruit. It is found in late fall to early winter in
TN. Look for it under white pines and hemlocks. It has some look
alikes so make sure on it or any wild mushroom. Cap: yellow to greenish
yellow, viscid when moist, streaked on disk, the odor is non distinctive.
Gills: yellow, sinuate.
