Clouded Funnel

– Cap initially convex, then expanding to funnel-shaped, gray, becoming lighter with age and often with a white, powdered sugar-like coating.
– Gills crowded, adnate to decurrent, whitish to pale cream buff.
– Stem cylindric-clavate, whitish-gray, broader at the base.
– The entire mushroom has a characteristic sweet and floral scent.

Grows in large groups and fairy rings in coniferous forests, deciduous forests, composts, gardens, and parks. Usually appears late in the mushroom season, in September-October.

Sometimes reported as edible, but it can cause nausea and should therefore be boiled before preparation.
