On leaf litter in broadleaf and mixed woodland, often in troops along paths

Edible but mediocre; only young caps are worth collecting and the stem is tough

• ▸ Ochre-brown, funnel-shaped cap with a small central bump (umbo)
• ▸ Far-decurrent, densely crowded, whitish gills
• ▸ Firm, fibrous stem in the cap colour, paler towards the base
• ▸ Faint smell of bitter almonds; tough, leathery texture

Now placed in the genus Infundibulicybe. The umbo and bitter-almond scent separate it from the white funnel clitocybes, which are best avoided.
