The cap is greenish-brownish yellow, slightly moist, and has dark fibrils near the center. The gills and stipe are whitish-yellow. The odor is mild to mealy and the taste mild to unpleasant.[4]
There is some confusion as to the certain identification of the species, so it is considered unsafe for eating.[4] While classified as inedible by some field guides,[5] it seems to have been traditionally consumed in much of world without noted ill effects.[citation needed] More recently, in Europe it has been identified as responsible for poisonings.[citation needed]
The species is reportedly consumed in China's Yunnan province, where it is generally known as 荞面菌 (Pinyin: qiao mian jun; lit. 'Buckwheat Noodle Mushroom') on account of this property, despite the fact that its proper name is 黄绿口蘑 (lit. 'Yellow Green Mouth Mushroom').[citation needed]
Tricholoma flavovirens is usually larger and fleshier, with more solid yellow gills and stipe and a less fibrillose cap.[4] Other similar species include Tricholoma arvernense, and T. viridilutescens.[4]
