Clitocybe agrestis is a species of agaric fungus in the family Tricholomataceae. Widely distributed in Europe (agrestis means "of fields") it was described as new to science in 1969 by Finnish mycologist Harri Harmaja. [1] Fruitbodies are poisonous as they contain the toxin muscarine. [2]

<i>Gyromitra ambigua</i> Species of fungus

Gyromitra ambigua is an ascomycete fungus species of the genus Gyromitra, and related to the false morel G. esculenta. It belongs to the Pezizales order. The species is found in North America, where it produces fruit bodies (mushrooms) that grow on the ground. The edibility of the fruit bodies is not known with certainty, and it is not recommended for consumption.
