Clitocybe fragrans is a species of mushroom with several lookalikes, some of which are poisonous.
Description
[edit]It is a white mushroom with a "fragrant" (fragrans) odor of aniseed and can be confused with the aniseed toadstool. The cap ranges from 1–5 centimetres (1⁄2–2 in) in diameter. The stem is 2–6 cm (3⁄4–2+3⁄8 in) long and 2–5 millimetres (1⁄16–3⁄16 in) wide.[2]
Similar species
[edit]It resembles the deadly Clitocybe dealbata (which lacks the anise odor)[2] and the edible Clitocybe odora.[2]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]It can be found throughout Europe growing in broadleaf woodland, from August to December.[3]
Edibility
[edit]While edible, some guides caution against its consumption as it can be confused with deadly poisonous species.[4] It can be preserved by drying.[3]
