| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Describes poisoning from eating an unknown "Clitocybe’ in France, and its subsequent recognition as C. amoenolens (unknown in Britain). This suggests other brown "Clitocybes" (now Lepista spp.) should be analysed for toxins. |
| Notes & Purpose | Status | Taxon | English | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | Clitocybe amoenolens | Fungi: Agaricales: Tricholomataceae | ||
| Suggested to be poisonous | Current | Paralepista flaccida | Tawny Funnel | Fungi: Agaricales: Tricholomataceae |
