Inocybe dulcamara (Alb. & Schw. ex Pers.) Kummer s. Lange.
Bittersüsser Risspilz, Inocbye doux-amer. Cap 1–4cm across, convex becoming almost flat, greenish ochraceous to tawny, with a white cortina when young. Stem 25–40 x 3–8mm, concolorous with cap, sometimes with an indistinct cottony ring. The cortina makes it possible to confuse this fungus with Cortinarius, however the spore colour makes it recognizable as an Inocybe. Flesh buff or ochraceous. Taste sweet, smell slight. Gills adnate, yellow-buff at first then brown. Cheilocystidia thin-walled, clavate or pyriform sometimes in short chains. Spore print snuff-brown. Spores smooth, bean-shaped, 7.5–10.5 x 5–5.5µ. Habitat on sandy pathsides or dunes. Season autumn. Uncommon. Not edible most Inocybes have been found to contain toxins. Distribution, America and Europe.
