Clitocybe menthiodora is a distinctive agaric fungus in the family Tricholomataceae, named for its notable minty or anise-like odor — the species epithet combining 'mentha' (mint) and 'odora' (fragrant) — which serves as a useful field identification character. It inhabits temperate European woodlands and forest margins, fruiting among leaf litter and soil organic matter in autumn. The cap is typically depressed to broadly funnel-shaped, pale greyish or whitish, with crowded, decurrent gills characteristic of the Clitocybe genus. The pleasant aromatic scent distinguishes it from the similarly structured but odorless or fetid species in the genus. Several Clitocybe species are known for distinctive odors, including anise, honey, and meal-like scents, which are attributed to volatile aromatic compounds produced during fruiting. While some fragrant Clitocybe species are edible, others contain muscarine or other toxins, and identification must be thorough. C. menthiodora is a saprotrophic decomposer playing a role in nutrient cycling in European temperate forest ecosystems.

A espécie de golfinho mais estudada e reconhecida, os roazes habitam oceanos quentes e temperados de todo o mundo, desde águas costeiras rasas até ao mar aberto. Altamente inteligentes com grandes cérebros em relação ao tamanho corporal, demonstram auto-reconhecimento, comunicação complexa e aprendizagem social. Vivem em sociedades fluidas de fissão-fusão e cooperam para arrebanhar peixes. Uma espécie indicadora chave da saúde dos ecossistemas marinhos.
