Tricholoma saponaceum is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. It has a soapy or pungent odor and a bitter taste. The cap is 3-8 cm in diameter, convex to flat, and often wavy or wrinkled, with a brown to grayish-brown color. The gills are white to pale yellow, and the stem is 4-8 cm long and 1-2 cm thick, with a similar color to the cap. In East and Central Texas, Tricholoma saponaceum typically fruits from September to November, often in association with oak and pine trees, particularly in wooded areas with rich soil and moderate to high moisture levels. It can be found in a variety of habitats, including deciduous and mixed forests, and is considered a relatively common species in the region.

Mushrooms Tricholoma saponaceum(?) in cross section, south from Northern Trailhead for the Turkey Creek Trail of Big Thicket National Preserve. Warren, Texas, November 27, 2021Farm-to-Market Road 1943, Warren, Texas 77664, United StatesIn East and Central Texas, observations of Tricholoma saponaceum were made at the Big Thicket National Preserve. The mushrooms were found growing at the base of Yaupon holly in a longleaf pine savannah area, with stems extending deep into the soil. Cross sections and underside views of the mushrooms were also observed. Similar species, possibly T. floridanum, were found under small oaks and bushes, with some specimens displaying flesh that slowly turned partially orange. The mushrooms were seen on two separate occasions, in November 2020 and November 2021, in Kountze and Warren, Texas. The observations suggest that Tricholoma saponaceum may be associated with specific tree species and habitats in the region. Further identification is needed to confirm the species, as some specimens may be T. floridanum rather than T. saponaceum.
