The cap is yellow to brown, conical, with a central umbo; its margin is cracked, torn. The cap surface is silky-fibrillose, splitting radially when expanding with noticeable fibrils, not viscid nor sticky. The stem is whitish to brownish, cylindrical, or slightly swollen towards base, without ring. The flesh is white, unchanging; its taste is mild then bitter; the odour is unpleasant, rank or faint of meal; its texture is fibrous. The gills are whitish to grey, adnate to emarginate, crowded (nb of gills per 90° ~ 23 ). The spore print is tobacco brown. This species is mycorrhizal. It grows on the ground, in broad-leaved woodlands, forest edges, heaps, along paths, on a rather calcareous, but not only soil, with oak and beech. The fruiting period takes place from June to December.

Distinctive features : tawny brown cap with radiating fibrils, showing white flesh in-between streaks; non bulbous stem base; mealy or spermatic odour Inocybe fastigiata is occasional and widely present in the forest of Rambouillet, and is frequent, more generally speaking . | ||
