Inocybe baltica & I. Suecica, two new smooth-spored species from the Baltic Sea region

Abstract

Two new species, with pruinose stipe and smooth spores, are described from Fennoscan- dia and Estonia. Inocybe baltica is a rather large species, associated with I'inus sylvestris on calcareous sandy soils, often occurring at seashores. I. suecica is a smaller species associated with deciduous trees on more rich and calcareous soils, often found in parks and cemeteries. Both species are so far known to occur only in the hemiboreal zone.
