Source-reviewed species profile
Clouded agaric Clitocybe nebularis
Large grey cap, crowded decurrent gills and a strong distinctive smell. This profile covers broad field features, season and habitat.
Where can I find clouded agaric?
Nutrient-rich woodland litter, often in large groups or rings.
In Mycoverse you can select Clouded agaric and compare candidate search areas using a species-specific assessment of rainfall, estimated soil moisture, temperature, forest type, tree signals, canopy cover, terrain and season. Where source coverage is available, the assessment also uses historical species observations. Historical observations are historical data, not recent finds.
Images, text and app suggestions cannot confirm a species or food safety.
