"Laccaria bicolor" is an ectomychorrhizal fungus used as a soil inoculant in agriculture and horticulture. It is commonly known as the Bicoloured Deceiver. It was initially described as a subspecies of "Laccaria laccata" by French mycologist René Maire in 1937, before being raised to species rank by P. D. Orton in 1960.
