A rare Conocybe species which from above and when fresh looks more like a Hebeloma or Agrocybe, or from below a Cortinarius. Most Conocybes are yellow or ochre, slender and small. The gill colour becoming deep cinnamon and the typical lecythiform gill cystidia (inflated cystidia with a neck surmounted by a small head or capitulum) place it among the Conocybes. This was growing in compost in a flowerpot outdoors, which is the kind of place it tends to occur, as well as more frequently in greenhouses. Only about 14 records nationally
