Calocybe is a small genus of about 40 species of mushroom,[1] including St. George's mushroom, which is edible, and milky mushroom, which is edible and is cultivated in India[2]. There are not many species of this genus in Britain. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek terms kalos "pretty", and cubos "head".[3] Around nine species are found in neotropical regions.
