It was first described scientifically as Agaricus cyathiformis by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1786, and later transferred to the genus Pseudoclitocybe by Rolf Singer in 1956.[2] It is the type species of the genus Pseudoclitocybe.

The cap is up to 8 centimetres (3+1⁄4 in) wide and brown, fading in age. It is initially centrally depressed with an inrolled margin then becomes funnel-shaped.[3] The gills are adnate to decurrent and pale, becoming gray to brown. The stem may be slightly lighter than the cap and is up to 12 cm (4+3⁄4 in) long and 1 cm thick, sometimes larger at the base.[3] The spore print is white.[3]
