''Clitocybe glacialis'' is a species of mushroom in the family Tricholomataceae. Formerly known as ''Lyophyllum montanum'', this is a snowbank mushroom, always associated with melting snow along snowbanks and thus ''glacialis''. Originally described by Alexander H. Smith in 1957, this North American species is typically found growing under conifers on mountains.
