About

Clitocybe menthiodora is a species of mushroom-forming fungus first described by the Finnish mycologist Harri Harmaja in 1969. It is characterized by its dingy brown, hygrophanous cap, white spore print, and distinctive menthol-like odour in dried specimens, for which it is named. This uncommon saprotrophic fungus grows on various types of forest litter, including coniferous and deciduous trees, as well as on bare calcareous soil or among mosses. The species occurs from temperate to middle boreal zones in Finland and Norway, fruiting from late August to late November.
