features
Macroscopic features
The green anise funnel usually has a gray-green color when fully grown, although white specimens can also occur, the hat and stem are about the same color. Young mushrooms can be bluish in color. With high humidity the color appears darker, with dryness lighter. Early on, the hat was turned up in a wavy manner with a depression in the middle. It becomes between 3 and 10 cm wide. The lamellas are rather wide and run down the handle a little. The cut meat is pale green and develops a sweet aniseed smell . When drying, it loses this typical smell. The mushroom can also be severely deformed, for example with humps on the hat. There is a risk of confusion with white specimens with other funnellets that also smell of aniseed, some of which are also poisonous.
