Dickfüßiger Risspilz

Inocybe curvipes is a small, brown mycorrhizal mushroom in the family Inocybaceae, recognized by its fibrous, brownish cap and curved stipe. It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with deciduous trees, particularly oaks and beeches, in temperate woodland soils. Like many Inocybe species, it contains muscarine and may be toxic if ingested; it is assessed as Least Concern across its European range.
