Naming

Almost all modern sources consider ''T. myomyces'' to be a synonym of ''T. terreum'', but there are some exceptions. Bon mentions that ''T. myomyces'' has been defined for lowland mushrooms with white gills and a fleecy cap. Courtecuisse separates it on a similar basis - the cap surface is felty and the gills are whitish and more crowded. Moser distinguished ''T. myomyces'' on the basis that the gills should go yellow.
