P. conico-campanulate, then expanded and umbonate, pilosely-squamulose, the 
disc bristling with larger and stronger scales, tawny-yellow to rusty, 1-2 cm. ; g. 
nearly free, ventricose, broadish, rather crowded, brownish-cinnamon, edge whitish ; 
s. slender, fibrillose, about colour of p., 1*5-3 cm.; S P* subglobose or very slightly 
elongated, covered with long, slender spines, 10-1 2 x 8-9 /x ; c. scanty, not very 
prominent, subcylindrical, 40x9-12 /*,. 
On the ground under trees, &c. France, United States. 
Readily distinguished by the nature of the spores, which are sparsely covered 
with long, very slender, pointed spines, and the disc of the pileus with squarrose scales. 
The cystidia are rare, and apt to be overlooked. 
This species appears to be not uncommon in the United States, for in addition 
to having been collected by Peck and Ellis, it is present in the Kew Herbarium, under 
I. trechispora , ‘ Rav., 2845, Car. Inf/; under /. lacera , ‘ Rav., 1588, Car. Inf/; also 
under I. lacera , ‘ C. Wright, 5526, Connecticut/

P. hemispherical, obtuse, whitish with a rufous tinge, due to longitudinal rufous 
fibrils, tawny when dry, 1-2 cm. ; g. rounded behind and adnexed, ventricose, dusky, 
cinnamon, edge white-flocculose ; s. equal, stuffed, covered with loose reddish or rufous 
fibrils, apex with white meal, 4-6 cm. ; sp. subglobose or somewhat oblong, nodulose, 
9-10 /x or 9-10 x 6-8 /x ; c. ventricose, abundant, 50-60 x 14-17 ^ Smell pleasant, 
strong, resembling that of clove-pinks. 
Among grass. Russia, Britain. 
My conception of I. Trinii is as described above, and as figured by Cooke, 1 . c., 
which agrees well with Weinmann’s diagnosis. The fragrant, strong, clove-pink 
odour was very strongly marked in the fresh plants from which Cooke’s figures were 
drawn, and persists for some time after drying. 
No species of Inocybe appears to be so little understood among mycologists as 
the present species. This I attribute to their not being conversant with Weinmann's 
own description of his plant, which is as follows : — 
‘A. Trinii Weinm. Pileo carnoso-membranaceo, hemispherico, albido, rufescente- 
fibrilloso, obtuso ; lamellis rotundatis, adfixis, obscure cinnamoneis, margine albo- 
flocculosis; stipite aequali, farcto, rutilante-fibrilloso, apice albo-pulverulento. 
‘ Solitarius. Odor valde suavis et fere caryophyllaceus ! — 
‘ Pileus \' et paulo ultra lat. longitudinaliter fibrosus. Lamellae 2" fere latae. 
Stipes 2-3' long., 1-1J" eras., fibrillis longitudinalibus obsitus. Sporidia sordide 
ferruginea/ 
From this description it will be gathered that the Fungus is quite small, even for
