| | The Genus Inocybe (MushroomExpert.Com) |
 | | In fact Inocybe is often treated less as a genus of mycorrhizal mushrooms in the Cortinaraiceae than as a mycological rite of passage; if you have not "put a name on" a few Inocybes at some point in your life, good luck getting your (Myco-) Country Club membership. |
 | | The concept of Inocybe has held up amazingly well under DNA scrutiny, which has even supported many of the traditional divisions within the genus (subgenera, sections, and so on). |
 | | There are some exceptions, of course, but the overall picture, originally painted on the two-dimensional canvas of morphology (physical features as determined with and without a microscope), has been given depth by DNA studies and is beginning to become a three-dimensional sculpture. |
