About Pseudoclitocybe cyathiformis (Bull.) Singer
The cap of Pseudoclitocybe cyathiformis can grow up to 8 centimetres (3+1⁄4 inches) wide, and is brown in color, fading as the mushroom ages. The cap starts out centrally depressed with an inrolled margin, and later develops a funnel shape. The gills are adnate to decurrent, pale when young, and turn gray to brown as they mature. The stem may be slightly lighter in color than the cap, growing up to 12 cm (4+3⁄4 in) long and 1 cm thick, and is sometimes wider at the base. This species produces a white spore print. Pseudoclitocybe cyathiformis occurs in North America and Europe, where it can be found from September to December. It grows in woodland soil or on rotting wood. This species is reportedly edible and can be dried for preservation, but it looks similar to a number of other species whose edibility is unknown.
