Finnish: Keltareunavalmuska, German: Grüngelber Ritterling, Hungarian: Cirmoskalapú pereszke, Polish: Gąska zielonożółta.
Tricholoma sejunctum is a medium-sized, fleshy mushroom with a grayish-brown to tan cap, often convex to flat in shape, and 3-8 cm in diameter. The gills are white to pale yellow, and the stipe is similar in color to the cap. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from September to November under oak and pine trees, particularly in well-drained soils. The mushroom has a strong, unpleasant odor and taste, making it inedible. It can be found in wooded areas, including urban parks and forests, throughout the region.

Deceiving knight mushrooms (Tricholoma sejunctum) on a wet slope on Caney Creek section of Lone Star Hiking Trail in Sam Houston National Forest north from Montgomery. Texas, November 28, 2021Lone Star Hiking Trail, Montgomery County, Texas, United StatesObservations of Tricholoma sejunctum in East and Central Texas show that the fungus grows in various locations, including Sam Houston National Forest and Big Thicket National Preserve. The mushrooms were found on trails such as Winters Bayou Trail and Lone Star Hiking Trail, often in association with soil disturbed by hogs. The caps of the mushrooms were observed to be fibrous, and the gills were noted. Cross sections of the mushrooms were also examined. The fungi were found growing singly and in groups, sometimes on wet slopes. Observations were made at different times of the year, including December, October, and November, suggesting that Tricholoma sejunctum may fruit throughout the fall season in this region.
