Inocybe lanuginosa.
One-fourth natural size.
Universal veil somewhat fibrillose, concrete with the cuticle of the pileus, often free at the margin, in the form of a cortina. Gills somewhat sinuate (but they occur also adnate and in two species decurrent), changing color, but not powdered with cinnamon. Spores often rough, but in others even, more or less brownish-rust color.
Inocybe (with Hebeloma) corresponds with Tricholoma. Inocybe and Hebeloma have some common features, but they are really very distinct. Inocybe is readily distinguished by the fibrillose covering of the pileus, which never has a distinct pellicle, by the veil which is continuous and homogeneous with the fibrils of the pileus, and by the rusty-brown spores. All grow on the ground. They are (mostly) strong-smelling (commonly nauseous). None are edible. Stevenson.
None reported as either edible or poisonous. Those I have tested are not pleasant.
