Inocybe godeyi Gillet |
The cap is white then ochre brown, then orange red, conical then expanded, with a central umbo; its margin is cracked with age, sometimes with hanging veil remnants in young specimens. The cap surface is silky, radially fibrillose, sometimes slightly scaly, not viscid nor sticky. The stem is entirely pruinose, white then orange pink, bulbous and marginate. The flesh is white, turning slowly red when exposed to air; its taste is mild to acrid; the odour is faint, rank or of carnation; its texture is fibrous. The gills are white, then pink (reddening when touched) and eventually brown, adnate to emarginate or adnexed, a bit crowded (nb of gills per 90° ~ 20 ). The spore print is tobacco brown. This species is mycorrhizal. It grows on the ground, in broad-leaved woods, on a rather calcareous soil, most of the time with beech, but also with oak, hazel. The fruiting period takes place from July to November.
Chemical tests : none. Distinctive features : ochre cap reddening when touched or bruised; gills pale then cinnamon, reddening when bruised; pruinose stem, white, with marginate bulbous base; on chalky soils, favouring warm places Inocybe godeyi is still unreported so far in the forest of Rambouillet, and is infrequent, more generally speaking .
