Taxonomic status: This is a Inocybe.
Notes: Current name: Inocybe stellatospora (Peck) Massee, Ann. Bot., Lond. 18: 469 (1904).
Basionym: Agaricus stellatosporus Peck [as "Agaricus (Hebeloma) stellatosporus"] (1873)
Types: UNITED STATES: New York: Croghan, Lewis County (approx. 43.9463°N, 75.3879°W, alt. approx. 300 m a.s.l.) on soil in woodland, Sep. 1873, C.H. Peck (Lectotype. herbarium acc. no. NYS-F-002936, HJB1000272). Lectotype designated by Matheny & Kropp, Sydowia 53: (2001) page 123.
Diagnosis: Pileus convex, dry, rough with numerous squarrose or erect scales, brown; lamellae pallid becoming brown; stem equal, scaly, concolorous; spores subglobose, rough with little nodules, .0003' in diameter. Plant 2' high, pileua 1' broad, stem 1" thick. Ground in woods. Croghan. September. This plant bears a close resemblance to Ag. mutatus, but the persistent scales and rough spores distinguish it.
Commentary: This taxon was originally described by Peck (1873b) as Agaricus (Hebeloma) stellatosporus and recombined into Hebeloma by Saccardo (1887). This species has nodulose spores and cystidia ventricose to utriform. Thus, the morphology does support the recombination as an Inocybe. Matheny and Kropp (2001) published type studies and selected the above lectotype due to the heterogeneity of the type material.
