Inocybe is a large genus of mushroom-forming fungi with over 1400 species, including all forms and variations. Members of Inocybe are mycorrhizal, and some evidence shows that the high degree of speciation in the genus is due to adaptation to different trees and perhaps even local environments. The name Inocybe means 'fibrous hat'. It is taken from the Greek words ?? (in the genitive ????, meaning 'muscle, nerve, fibre, strength, vigor') and ???? ('head').
