Description
As its name says, the deadly fibercap is a deadly poisonous mushroom and one of the most toxic mushrooms of the Inocybe genus. It contains toxic compounds that can't be destroyed by cooking. The deadly fibercap can be confused with the edible, highly-prized St. George mushroom (Calocybe gambosa) since these two tend to grow around the same time.

Habitat
The deadly fibercap commonly grows in open forests and woodland edges. In a symbiotic relationship with broadleaf trees such as beech and hornbeam, it helps the tree’s roots absorb water and nutrients, and in exchange the tree feeds it with sugars and amino acids. Fruitbodies grow up from the ground above the roots.
