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.

Comments

The cap is supposed to be a little darker than that of Inocybe sororia. Well, you'll have to have picked many more Inocybes than I have before that bit of advice becomes helpful
Well, it was a sharp tussle here between two of the most important forces in my life: conformity and looking cool and up-to-date. As it is, conformity won, so I'm calling this mushroom Inocybe fastigiata, instead of Inocybe rimosa, but next time it could go the other way..
