Inocybe paludinella is a species of fungus that belongs to the genus Inocybe. It is characterized by its small to medium size, bell-shaped to conical cap, and radish-like or spermatic odor. The cap is typically 1-4 cm in diameter, brown to reddish-brown in color, and often has a umbo or papilla. The gills are crowded, narrow, and attached to the stem. In East and Central Texas, Inocybe paludinella can be found growing in a variety of habitats, including deciduous and mixed forests, particularly in areas with rich soil and abundant organic matter. It typically fruits from spring to fall, often in association with trees such as oak, elm, and ash. The fungus is considered rare to uncommon in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
