Article: Horak, E. (1978) [1977]. Fungi Agaricini Novaezelandiae. VI. Inocybe (Fr.) Fr. and Astrosporina Schroeter. New Zealand Journal of Botany 15(4): 713–747 (http://www.rsnz.org/publish/abstracts.php).
Habitat: Between Sphagnum (in "pakihi''
-associations) under Nothofagus cliffortioides or on rotten wood in beech
forests. New Zealand.
Notes: The variety differs from typical I. luteobulbosa
by its yellow and membranous volva and the more slender habit.
Inocybe luteobulbosa fructificates rather late in the fungal season (April to June) and on one occasion
was found in early spring (September). In fresh specimens the yellow fibrils
(of the veil) at the base the stipe are an excellent character to identify this
species. If old and overmature material is collected alone, the yellow pigment
is often bleached or washed out; the bulbous base of the stipe then appears
whitish in obvious contrast to the otherwise reddish brown upper portion
