About Inocybe lanuginosa (Bull.) P.Kumm.

This species, scientifically named Inocybe lanuginosa (Bull.) P.Kumm., has a cap ranging from 1 to 5 centimeters in diameter. The cap is brown, covered with fibers and scales, and begins convex before flattening out as the mushroom matures. Its stipe measures 2 to 5 centimeters long and 2 to 4 millimeters wide, and it is also covered in scales and fibers. The gills can be sinuate, adnexed, or adnate; they start pale and turn brown as the mushroom matures. The veil has a similar appearance to the cortina found in Cortinarius and some other mushrooms, and this species produces a brown spore print. In terms of habitat and ecology, Inocybe lanuginosa grows under conifers, and it may sometimes also grow under hardwoods. It occasionally grows on decaying wood, and it produces fruiting bodies during the fall.
