Inocybe cincinnata

Small Inocybe rarely exceeding 3 cm in pileus diameter. The cap surface is adorned with conspicuous erect squamules, especially around the disc. The colour is brownish with distinct lilaceous tints, which are also noticeable at the stipe apex.

A species occurring in both coniferous and broadleaved woodlands from summer through the autumn months.

The specimens studied microscopically here were collected in September in a riparian forest under Alnus glutinosa, in Zeanuri (Bizkaia).

An additional earlier photograph taken in October under Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica in the same locality is also included.
