Ectomycorrhizal species in beech forest and under tea-tree. Small, brown mushrooms with distinctively shaggy caps, distinguished from Inocybe by spore shape.

Twelve species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.

Inocybe (Fr.) Fr. 1863

Small, dull brown mushrooms, found only on soil, most species with a dry, hairy or fibrillose cap, gills covered by cobweb-like veil when young, spore print dull brown in colour.

There are at least 12 species in New Zealand, including some exotic species (under pine and oak). In addition there are 12 species of the closely related genus Astrosporina, distinguished from Inocybe only by spore shape. The species are difficult to identify without examining microscopic features.

Ectomycorhizal. The native species are found only under tea-tree or Nothofagus, although there are also exotic species found under introduced trees, one pale species especially common under pine.

Small Cortinarius species have a similar stature, but usually with a smooth cap, and with rusty-brown or orange-brown spores compared the dull brown of Inocybe. Panaeolus and Psilocybe have very dark, purple-brown spores, Agrocybe usually on fallen wood and litter rather than soil.

Small, ectomycorrhizal mushrooms common on ground under Nothofagus and tea-tree. Characterised by a cortina-like veil on the stalk, shaggy cap, and rough-walled spores with no germ pore. Most New Zealand species are brown.

Many authors consider Astrosporina, with smooth-walled, nodulose spores, congeneric.

More than 20 species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.
