A very similar species is the European Tricholoma pessundatum, which differs only in microscopic details.[2] Other similar species include T. aurantium, T. fracticum, T. fulvum, T. manzanitae, T. nictitans, T. populinum, T. stans, and T. ustale.[2] All of these species, including T. muricatum, are inedible.[2]
