Clitocybe houghtonii

Clitocybe houghtonii

Clitocybe houghtonii – despite the striking appearance of these mushrooms, they are not common enough to have an English name.

They grow in clumps on the ground in woods, and have white or creamy to yellowish caps and slightly pink gills.

A summer and autumn species: these were ones we were shown in the Northycote Farm woods on the fungi foray back in October.
