The cap is whitish yellow to ivory, green umbo, obtuse conical, then expanded, fibrillose; its margin is cracked, torn. The cap surface is with dark-brown radial fibrils or with adpressed scales, not viscid nor sticky. The stem is white, with green at the base, without ring, with a cortina. The flesh is white to yellow in old specimens, unchanging; its taste is mild; the odour is sickly, of jasmine, corydalis, dough, or pear tree flower; its texture is fibrous. The gills are white then brown, adnate to emarginate, crowded (nb of gills per 90° ~ 27 ). The spore print is tobacco brown. This species is mycorrhizal. It grows on the ground, on a rich soil, in broad-leaved (sometimes coniferous) woods, on a rather calcareous soil, with beech, oak. The fruiting period takes place from July to November.
Chemical tests : none. Distinctive features : ivory-white to straw-yellow cap, with dense brown radiating streaks, conical with an emerald green umbo and a cracked margin; complex fruity odour (pear or jasmine); pinkish flesh; in wet places Inocybe corydalina is quite rare and localised in the forest of Rambouillet, and is occasional, more generally speaking . | ||
