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 was suspected of being psychotropic because of the blue-green tinge present at the stipe base, with David Arora citing a study claiming to detect psilocybin.[5] Later analysis did not find the mushrooms to contain psilocybin or similar alkaloids.[6]
