Pileus 6-12 mm broad; stem 8-16 mm long, 2 mm thick. 

 Bare compact soil in roads in woods. Suffolk co. August. Rare. 

 It appears like a dwarf form of Inocybe i n f e 1 i x Pk. but 

 it is very distinct in the character of the spores. 



Inocybe subfulva Pk. 



TAWNY INOCYBE 

 N. Y. State Mus. Rep't 41, p.66 



Pileus broadly conic or subcampanulate, becoming convex or 

 nearly plane, subumbonate, fibrillosely squamose, tawny ochraceous ; 

 lamellae broad, close, adnexed, ventricose, pallid becoming tawny 

 cinnamon ; stem equal, firm, solid, fibrous striate, obscurely pruinose, 

 colored like but paler than the pileus ; spores globose or ellipsoid, 

 stellately nodulose, 8-10 p. in diameter or 10-12 x 7-8 fi, cystidia 

 40-80 x 10-15 11. 



Pileus 1.5-3 cm broad; stem 2.5-5 cm l° n g> 2 ~4 mm thick. 



Sandy soil in fields. Albany co. August. 



This species is closely allied to Inocybe g a i 1 1 a r d i Gill, 

 from which it may be distinguished by its larger size, solid stem 

 and variable spores. The scales of the center of the pileus are 

 often erect but not squarrose. 



Rimosae 



Pileus radiately fibrillose, soon radiately rimose, sometimes 

 adorned with appressed scales ; stem fibrillose, white or whitish or 

 slightly tinged with the color of the pileus. 



The species of this section are easily recognized by the radiately 

 cracking of the cuticle of the pileus and the pale color of the stem.
