The fruitbody of a Tricholoma is a mushroom. Caps range from a few to over 10 centimetres in diameter, depending on species, and may be smooth or rough, dry or sticky and of various colours. Stems and gills also show ranges in size and colouration.

There is no universal veil and, while a few species have a partial veil, it is absent in most.

On the other hand, some Tricholoma species are fairly distinctive.

Tricholoma sp. (gills white/creamy) is listed in the following regions:
