Identification. This species can be identified by the flat pileus covered by brown scales, the pale brown lamellae, the pale brown, pruinose stipe without volva, and the subglobose, angulose to verrucose basidiospores of 7–9 × 5–7 µm. Our material agrees with the description provided by Pegler (1983). Inocybe paralanuginosa Pegler is a similar species that differs by having a smooth stipe.
