Clitocybe nebularis

Common card · No. 397878

Clitocybe nebularis or Lepista nebularis, commonly known as the clouded agaric, cloudy clitocybe, or cloud funnel, is an abundant gilled fungus which appears both in conifer-dominated forests and broad-leaved woodland in Europe and North America. Appearing in Britain from mid to late autumn, it is edible, but may cause gastrointestinal issues. In 1953, Clitocybe nebularis was used by Swedish chemists Nils Löfgren, Björn Lüning, and Harry Hedström to isolate Nebularine.
