Frosty Funnnel
Clitocybe phyllophila
-37.9034, 145.308
Field Notes
Description:
Creamy white fungi with broadly convex caps that thinned-out towards beautifully crenulated margins. The caps (upto 30mm wide) looked smooth and slightly moist but not sticky or slimy - the texture and appearance was like bread dough.
Gills were close, the same colour as the cap and decurrent. Stipe was long, smooth and slender.
Habitat:
Spotted growing in a colony under very damp leaf litter near a creek.
Distribution:

A beautiful fungus with very attractive caps.
