From nebula (lat) = Cloud Due to the colour
Common name = (eng) Clouded Funnel Cap
CAP: 5 to 15 cm in diameter, convex, hunched, then spread out and finally rather depressed, grey or brownish-grey, darker in the centre, sometimes with a whitish hoarfrost, rather straight edge.
GILLS: Tight, creamy-white, with lamelules, adnate to rather decurrent, easily separated from the flesh of the mushroom.
STEM: Claviform, solid and smooth, fibrous, narrow at top, whitish or rather greyish.
FLESH: White, solid, thick, spongy at end, undefined strong smell (“grilled”), sweet flavour.
HABITAT: October to December in pine, oak and beech forests, and meadows with heathland.
EDIBILITY: Edible, though does not suit many people.
OBSERVATIONS: It is a very common and very well-known mushroom. It can be confused with Entoloma lividum and that leads to many people being poisoned every year. The E.lividum has low-cut gills and is salmon pink in colour when mature and the C.nebularis has decurrent gills and is whitish-cream in colour.
