Schwarzscheiteliger Risspilz

Inocybe furfurea is a fibrecap mushroom characterised by a finely scaly or furfuraceous (bran-like) surface on its brown cap, with brownish gills and a slender stipe. It grows in ectomycorrhizal association with trees, particularly oaks and conifers, in temperate European forests. Listed as Data Deficient, its taxonomy and population status require further clarification.
