Extract from Wikipedia article: Clitocybe nebularis or Lepista nebularis, commonly known as the clouded agaric or cloud funnel, is an abundant gilled fungus which appears both in conifer-dominated forests and broad-leaved woodland in Europe and North America. Appearing in Britain from late summer to late autumn, it is edible. It is classified as a category 4 edible mushroom in Russia.
Clitocybe nebularis is a species of fungus that grows in clusters on the ground in deciduous and coniferous forests. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from July to November, preferring moist, shaded areas with rich soil. The cap is 4-10 cm in diameter, gray-brown to pale brown, and often wavy or irregular in shape. The gills are crowded, pale gray-brown, and descend the stem. It is considered edible but can cause gastrointestinal upset in some individuals. Local records show it commonly associates with trees such as birch, spruce, and pine.
