Pileus 8-15 mm, conical, expanding with age, almost campanulate, not umbonate, margin incurved to decurved; dry, velipellis absent, recurved scaly, edge of margin with white fibrils, these almost appendiculate when young; dark brown to dark yellowish brown (10YR 3/3-3/4; Mummy Brown); flesh thick under the disc only, pallid, unchanging, odor not remarkable. Lamellae adnexed, moderately close, light brown to brown, edges pallid-fimbriate, medium, ventricose. Stipe 30-50 x 1-3 mm, even or with a slightly swollen base; pruinose below the center, almost floccose-pruinose or pulverulent, brown to pale brown, at times with a dull violet cast, whitish at the base; solid, colored like the surface. Spores 11.5-14.5 x 10-11 um, spinose, broadly elliptic in outline with ca. 17-20 rod-like nodules. Basidia 40 x 13 um, 4-spored. Pleurocystidia not observed. Cheilocystidia 30-51 x 9-11 um, utriform to fusiform, thin-walled or at times slightly thickened (ca. 0.5-1 um thick), hyaline to ochraceous. Notes: Inocybe praeechinulata seems similar in color but has frequent pleurocystidia. Keys best to I. subfulva, but the material here is darker than that species.
