Dark Brown Scurfy Inocybe     Section



Cortinarius husseyiKey to Gilled Mushrooms     Key
This is a key to gilled mushrooms, that is, mushrooms having a definite cap with a fertile surface consisting of gills. The fruiting body usually also has a stem, although that may be lateral or absent (usually, then, the mushroom is growing from wood). You can use this key to identify mushrooms that you find.

Diagnosis

Comments

Inocybe hystrix is mentioned in several of my books as a member of this section, but I have yet to see a helpful description/diagnosis of it

Narrow down your identification:


Inocybe calamistrata
Cap up to 1 5/8" across; brownish, with white umbo
Lower part of the stem is or bruises greyish turquoise, sometimes appearing black where this color overlays brown coloration
Odor spermatic

Inocybe calosporaInocybe calospora
Cap up to 1" across; umbonate
Stalk with a small whitish basal bulb
With deciduous trees

Inocybe tahquamenonensis
Cap up to 1 1/4" across; dark purplish brown, blackish brown, or purplish black; broadly convex at first, becoming umbonate
