Lepista graveolens

Lepista graveolens, described by Peck as Clitocybe graveolens, is a strongly scented litter-decomposing agaric of northern temperate woods, recorded mostly from eastern North America and Japan. It fruits in September and October; nothing is published on growing it, so the conditions here follow the wood blewit.
