Habitat: On soil, often calcareous, in deciduous woodland. Most frequently reported with Fagus, but also known with Betula spp. on heathland. Notes: Occasional but widespread and may be locally common. Most records of 'Tricholoma argyraceum' are probably this species. Ref:BC Much easier to tell this species when the basidiomes start to die/ decayed - the lamellae become bright yellow, and none of the other grey Tricholoma species do this, thus diagnostic for T. scalpturatum Ref: Nick Legon
Scalpturatum means "felty, with a scaly cap".
