Tricholoma robustum is an edible mycorrhizal mushroom in the family Tricholomataceae. In Japan it is called matsutake-modoki (pseudo-matsutake), and colloquially referred to as obasan no matsutake ("old lady's matsutake"), because it resembles matsutake mushroom while being smaller and less aromatic and tasty.
