Clitocybe (Fr.) Staude 1857

Small to medium sized, fleshy mushrooms saprobic on soil. The cap is typically depressed or umbilicate when mature, the gills decurrent. Spore print is white, creamy or pinkish; the spores are usually smooth, and when pink not angular like Entoloma.

Taxonomically poorly understood, six or more species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.

Clitocybe (Fr.) Staude 1857

Pileus generally fleshy at the disc, and becoming thin towards the margin, flexible or tough, for the most part plano-depressed or infundibuliform, margin involute ; gills decurrent, edges thin, entire ; stem central, externally fibrous, somewhat elastic, stuffed, often becoming hollow; veil obsolete ; spores hyaline, elliptical, or subglobose.

Differs from Omphalia, its closest ally, in the stem being fibrous externally, and not polished or cartilaginous. The gills are also usually much less decurrent, being, in fact, sometimes only slightly so. Pleurotus differs in the lateral or excentric stem, and Hygrophorus in the waxy gills. Finally, Cantharellus is separated by the narrow, distant, thick-edged gills. Growing on the ground.

Clitocybe (Fr.) Staude 1857

The pileus in this genus is usually incurved at first, is often depressed or umbilicate, is of medium to small size, dry or hygrophanous, rarely viscid and usually dull coloured. The thin gills are characteristically decurrent to deeply decurrent, with a hymenophoral trama of regular to sub-regular hyphae. The spore-print is white (or occasionally pale coloured); the spores re smooth, non-amyloid, thin-walled; cystidia are normally absent. The epicutis consists of woven hyphae. Often the species have a characteristic smell.
