Pseudoclitocybe cyathiformis, commonly known as the goblet funnel cap, is a species of fungus and the type species of the genus Pseudoclitocybe. It is found in North America and Europe.
It was first described scientifically as Agaricus cyathiformis by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1786, and later transferred to the genus Pseudoclitocybe by Rolf Singer in 1956.[2] It is the type species of the genus Pseudoclitocybe.
Description
The cap is up to 8 centimetres (3+1⁄4 in) wide and brown, fading in age. It is initially centrally depressed with an inrolled margin then becomes funnel-shaped.[3] The gills are adnate to decurrent and pale, becoming gray to brown. The stem may be slightly lighter than the cap and is up to 12 cm (4+3⁄4 in) long and 1 cm thick, sometimes larger at the base.[3] The spore print is white.[3]
