Extract from Wikipedia article: Clitocybe fragrans is a poisonous mushroom. It has a "fragrant" (fragrans) odor of aniseed and can be confused with the aniseed toadstool. The cap and stem are white.
Clitocybe fragrans is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. It is characterized by its funnel-shaped cap, which is 2-6 cm in diameter, and its sweet, fragrant odor. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Clitocybe fragrans typically grows in groups on the ground in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with mosses and lichens. Fruiting bodies are usually found from July to October, with a peak in August and September. The fungus is considered rare in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
