1992, David W. Fischer, Alan E. Bessette, Edible Wild Mushrooms of North America: A Field-to-kitchen Guide, page 81:
Several of the key identifying characteristics listed above are expressly designed to rule out the poisonous Sulphur Tuft (N.fasaculare; see p. 159). It occasionally has been mistaken for the Smoky-gilled Naematoloma, but the toxic species has a greenish yellow to bright orangish yellow cap and, usually, bitter-tasting flesh. The gills of young Sulphur Tufts are greenish yellow to sulphur yellow, darkening to purplish brown in age.
2003, Charles L. Fergus, Common Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms of the Northeast, page 25:
The similar but less common Sulphur Tuft, Hypholoma fasciculare, is a yellow mushroom yielding a purple-brown spore print; it grows on logs and stumps. The Sulphur Tuft is very bitter. Poisonous, it causes nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
2012, Rachel Joyce, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, page 209:
