Original diagnosis: Stipite torto sericeo-fibroso, albo, valde elongato; pileo angusto, ochraceo-carneo, tenerior lamellis ferrugineo-fulvellis. Fungus elongatione ad clypeatos accedit, stipe tamen validus, et pileus, licet reliquis tenerior tamen fartus. Habitus totius tortus, irregularis. Pileus albus, ochraceo-carneus, inaequalis, margine sursum reflexus, superficie alutaceus, stipiti quidem politus, tamen leniter cum eo confluens, a stipites versus marginem crassitie aequalites decrescens. Stipes pileo validior et longior, niveus, sericeo-fibrosus, plus vel minus flexuosus et tortus, aequali crassitie procedens, basi rotundata vix obsolete bulbosus. Laminae obscuriores reliquo fungo, sed ipsae pallidae, ferrugineo-fulvellae, oblongae, fere lanceolatae, inferne leviter convexae, versus pilei marginem angustae, pone obtusatae, exceptis majoribus, quae appendice angusto in supera stipites parte decurrent. Margo lamellarum albido-pruinatus. Ordine quadruplici alternant. Substantia plerumque larvis exesa, solida, in stipites interne fasciculatum fibrosa, pallide ochracea. Legi fungos hujus speciei aliquot, sine Sept. 1788 in pineto ad introitum orientelem Sylvulae Forst.

English translation: Stipe twisted, sericeous-fibrous, white, rather long; pileus narrow, ochre-incarnate, lamellae thin, rusty brown. This slender fungus appears to belong to the ones called Clypeati [“shield bearers” a Batschian generic name], but the stipe is tough and the pileus is fleshy, despite appearing thin. The habit is entirely irregular and twisted. Pileus white to ochre-incarnate, unequal, with uplifted margin and leathery surface; it becomes thinner from the stipe to the margin, and is confluent with it [the stipe]. The stipe is much stouter than the pileus and elongate, white and silky shiny, more or less flexuous and twisted, equal with rounded or hardly broadened base. The lamellae are darker than the rest of the fungus, otherwise pale rusty or reddish brown, oblong, about lanceolate, at underside convex, narrowing towards margin of pileus, bluntly attached to the stipe, apart from the largest ones, which are decurrent with small tooth. The edge of the lamellae is white pruinose. There are four different categories of lamellae and lamellulae. The context is usually riddled by larvae, solid, in inner part of stipe made up of fibrous fascicles, pallid ochre. I found some examples of this species at the end of September 1788 in the pine groves near the eastern entrance to the Forst forest.

Commentary: This taxon is most likely a Hebeloma, but it is impossible to say whether it is a species of Hebeloma sect. Velutipes or of H. sect. Denudata, or even of H. sect. Scabrispora, with any certainty. We suspect it is most likely to be from H. sect. Velutipes and certainly we have seen collections of both H. leucosarx and H. velutipes from Pinus forests which in many aspects correspond to plate 188, although they normally have the base of the stipe more swollen. We cannot give an unambiguous determination for this taxon.
