Tricholoma bakamatsutake or 'bakamatsutake (literally "fool's matsutake") is a mushroom of the agaric genus Tricholoma. Found in China and Japan, it was described as new to science by mycologist Tsuguo Hongo in 1974.[1] It is closely related to the matsutake (pine mushroom) Tricholoma matsutake, but occurs in Fagaceae forests (beeches and oaks) rather than pine forests.[2]
