Infundibulicybe geotropa, also known as the trooping funnel or monk's head, is a large funnel-shaped mushroom with a sturdy cream or buff colour. It grows widely in Europe and (less commonly) in North America in mixed woodlands, often in troops or fairy rings, one of which is over half a mile wide. Although edible, it could be confused with some poisonous species of similar colouration and size.
