Genus Clitocybe, also known as the funnel cap mushrooms, are a group of fungi that are commonly found in woodlands and grasslands worldwide. Synonyms for this genus include Lepista, Infundibulicybe, and Clitocybula. These mushrooms are typically characterized by their funnel-shaped caps that are often wrinkled or folded at maturity. The gills are usually decurrent, meaning they run down the stem, and the spore print is white or cream-colored. Species in this genus can range in color from white to yellow, brown, or even blue-green. Many species are edible, but caution must be taken as some can be toxic.
