Taxonomy

The species was originally defined as Agaricus whitei by Berkeley and Broome in 1876[2] and transferred to the genus Inocybe by Saccardo in 1887. The species was also described independently as Inocybe pudica by Robert Kühner in 1947.[3] Nowadays the two names are considered synonyms, with Berkeley and Broome's name taking precedence.[4][5]

The epithet whitei was given in honour of Dr. Buchanan White, a naturalist of Perthshire.[2]
