Inosperma calamistratum, until 2019 known as Inocybe calamistrata, [1] is a species of Inocybaceae fungus.
The tannish cap is up to 5 centimetres (2 in) wide. The stem is up to 15 cm (6 in) long, possibly staining reddish above and/or blue-green below. [2] [3] The beige gills are fairly close and produce a brown spore print. The scent is typically pungent. [2] Perhaps similar are Inocybe calospora , which does not stain, and I. tahquamenonensis , which is purplish. [2]
The species is found in Europe[ citation needed ] and North America (July–September to the east; August–November by the West Coast). [2]
Orson K. Miller Jr. and Hope Miller list the species as poisonous. [4] It used to be suspected of being psychotropic because of the blue-green tinge present at the stipe base, but psilocybin and similar alkaloids have not been found in the fruiting bodies. [5]
