Inocybe mixtilis is a small, fibrous-capped mushroom in the large Inocybe genus with a conical to umbonate cap and a mealy smell. It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with deciduous trees, particularly oak and beech, in temperate European forests. This fungus exchanges soil nutrients for photosynthetically produced sugars with its host trees.
