Related to I. s a m b u c i n a from which it differs in the 

 fibrillose margin of the cap, in the darker color of the mature 

 lamellae, in the larger spores and in its habitat. From H e b e- 

 loma colvini, which also grows in sandy soil, it differs in 

 its whitish color, longer spores and solid stem. Its mycelium 

 binds together a mass of sand which forms a somewhat bulbous 

 base to the stem. Mr Burbank says that it occurred in great 

 abundance in October and that it is edible.
