Ochrosporae 



(Plate LXXV.) 



INO'CYBE Fr. 



Gr. fiber; Gr. head. 



Universal veil somewhat fibrillose, concrete with the cuticle of the inocybe. 

 pileus, often free at the margin, in 

 the form of a cortina. Gills some- 

 what sinuate (but they occur also 

 adnate and in two species decur- 

 rent), changing color, but not 

 powdered with cinnamon. Spores 

 often rough, but in others even, 

 more or less brownish-rust color. 



Inocybe (with Hebeloma) cor- 

 responds with Tricholoma. In- 

 ocybe and Hebeloma have some 

 common features, but they are 

 really very distinct. Inocybe is 

 readily distinguished by the fibril- 

 lose 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.
