Clitocybe dealbata, also known as the ivory funnel, is a small white funnel-shaped basidiomycete fungus widely found in lawns, meadows and other grassy areas in Europe and North America. Also known as the sweating mushroom, or sweat producing clitocybe,[1] it derives these names from the symptoms of poisoning. It contains potentially deadly levels of muscarine.
