How to tell Common funnel from Frosty funnel

The cap is 3-8 cm across, convex in young mushrooms, later becoming funnel-shaped with a clearly sunken center and often a small pointed bump in the central hollow. The color is cinnamon-orange, brick, reddish-brown — more intense in young mushrooms and lighter in mature ones. The surface is silky-matte and smooth. The cap skin is thin.

Cap 3-7 cm across, convex when young, becoming funnel-shaped over time, with a depressed center and a thin wavy margin. Color whitish to cream, with a pale pink or ochre tint in the center and a characteristic silky, waxy sheen. Slightly sticky in wet weather, matte when dry.

The underside has gills. The gills are crowded, thin, strongly decurrent down the stem. Whitish to cream, turning cream-ochre with age. The spore print is white to pale cream.

Gilled hymenophore. Gills crowded, thin, decurrent down the stem. Color whitish to cream, taking on a pale pink tint with age. Spore print white to pale pinkish-cream.

The stem is 3-7 cm tall, 0.5-1 cm thick, cylindrical or slightly thickening toward the base. Orange-cream, matching the cap, with white mycelial fuzz at the bottom. The surface is smooth or has fine lengthwise fibers. No ring.

Stem 3-6 cm tall, 0.4-1 cm thick, cylindrical, often thickening toward the base. Color whitish to cream, with white mycelial fuzz at the base. Surface smooth, no ring.

The flesh is thin, white to cream, soft and brittle. It doesn't change color when cut. It has a pleasant mushroomy-fruity taste.

Flesh thin, white, soft. Does not change color when cut. It has a pleasant sweetish smell and a mild taste — as with other poisonous Clitocybe, the lack of any unpleasant smell makes it all the more treacherous.

A pleasant mushroomy-fruity smell with a note of ripe apple or pear. One of the typical aromas of the forest Clitocybe. The taste is mild and delicate.

Sweetish, pleasant. Raises no suspicion. Taste mild. Don't rely on smell or taste for identification — they give no hint of toxicity.
