Tricholoma magnivelare Look-alikes
 |
Tricholoma calligatum (top left, top right) has more and darker (purplish-brown) fibrils on the cap and stipe and it is not as robust as T. magnivelare (bottom left and bottom right). |
 |
 |
| Amanita smithiana (above), is a poisonous mushroom that grows in the same environment as Tricholoma magnivelare, is white, has a cottony, white cap with cottony scales that often hang down at the margins, has a more slender aspect and turnip-shaped rooting stipe. | Catathelasma ventricosa (above), and its larger cousin C. imperialis, lack the pine mushroom's distinctive spicy, cinnamon odour and have decurrent (instead of notched) gills. |
 |
 |
| Russula brevipe (above), has brittle flesh, lacks an annulus around the stalk, is odourless, and has horizontal to decurrent unnotched gills. | Hygrophorus subalpinus (above), found most frequently in the spring near melting snow (but also in summer and fall), has soft waxy decurrent gills, a fleeting membranous annulus that when present is found at the base of the stipe close to ground, and an indistinct odour. |
 |
|
| Tricholoma focale (Armillaria zelleri) (above), which can produce serious digestive upsets, has a bright orange cap and lacks the distinctive spicy cinnamon odour of T. magniverlare |
