Tricholoma muricatum is a mushroom of the agaric genus Tricholoma. It was described as new to science in 1996.[1] It tends to grow near pines.[2]
The cap has a radial arrangement of fibres and is grooved near the edge. The gills are orange-white. The stipe is brown-orange.[2]
A very similar species is the European Tricholoma pessundatum, which differs only in microscopic details.[2] Other similar species include T. aurantium, T. fracticum, T. fulvum, T. manzanitae, T. nictitans, T. populinum, T. stans, and T. ustale.[2] All of these species, including T. muricatum, are inedible.[2]
