Infundibulicybe geotropa
The trooping funnel is a large cream to buff mushroom whose cap reaches 20 cm and becomes funnel-shaped. It has a prominent central boss and a tall stem swollen at the base. It can be confused with poisonous lookalikes, especially the livid entoloma.
Mixed woodland, especially grassy clearings, in autumn, often in troops or fairy rings.
Abundant and widespread in Europe (August to November); less common in North America.
Identification suggestions (from the community or from AI) and the information here may be wrong; this app never confirms that anything is safe to eat. Do not consume wild plants, mushrooms or seafood without expert confirmation. Nothing here is medical advice.
A fairy ring in Belfort, France, over half a mile across and about 800 years old, may be the largest known.
Never eat a wild mushroom without showing it to an expert
No mushroom should be picked for eating based on this app or a photo. Deadly species look very like the ones foragers look for, and symptoms start hours later. If you suspect poisoning, call your local poison centre or emergency number right away (in Türkiye: 114).
