clytocybe alba
Noun A species of mushroom in the genus Clytocybe, characterized by its large size, white coloration, and classification as an agaric (a fungus with gills). It is noted as being technically edible but generally considered to have poor flavor or undesirable taste.
The term is used as a specific scientific or common name for this type of mushroom. It is primarily employed in mycological (fungus-related) contexts, foraging discussions, or field guides. * The forager identified the large white fungus as Clytocybe alba. * While not poisonous, Clytocybe alba is rarely collected for the table due to its lack of palatability.
- The name follows binomial nomenclature (Genus + species ), where "alba" is Latin for "white," describing its key visual characteristic.
- The phrase "edible but not palatable" is a standard qualifier in mycology, distinguishing non-toxic mushrooms from those that are considered good to eat.
- Agaric (n): A broad term for fungi with a cap, stem, and gills (lamellae) on the underside of the cap. is one type of agaric.
- Lepista (n): A related genus of mushrooms. Some taxonomic classifications may place this species within the genus (e.g., ), making it a potential synonym in certain scientific contexts.
- White funnel cap (a potential descriptive common name).
- (a possible taxonomic synonym depending on current classification).
The definition hinges on two key, contrasting attributes: 1. Edibility: It is not toxic for human consumption. 2. Palatability: It is not tasty or desirable as food. This makes it distinct from both poisonous mushrooms and choice edible mushrooms.
