Inocybe fraudans
Species of fungus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inocybe fraudans, commonly known as the pear fibrecap,[3] is an agaric fungus in the family Inocybaceae. It has a yellowish-brown fibrillose cap and stipe that develops reddish tints with age. The flesh has a characteristic odor, similar to jasmin or ripe pears, although the mushroom—like many in the genus Inocybe—is suspected to be toxic.[4] It is found in Europe and North America, where it grows in woodlands. Fruitbodies produce an walnut-brown spore print, and have smooth, almond-shaped spores measuring 8–11.5 by 5–7 μm.[3] Many authors have erroneously referred this species to Inocybe pyriodora.[1]
