Clitocybe strigosa is a species of mushroom-forming fungus first described by the Finnish mycologist Harri Harmaja in 1969. It is characterized by its chestnut to greyish-brown, hygrophanous cap, pale yellow spore print with a faint greyish tint, and cyanophilic spores that readily absorb blue dyes due to their mucilaginous outer layer. This saprotrophic fungus grows in coniferous and deciduous forests, often in deep moss carpets under spruce or beech, and occasionally on calcareous heaths above the tree line. The species shows a disjunct distribution in Fennoscandia, occurring in both alpine, calcareous zones and southern boreal lowland zones.
