The new species Inocybe flavobrunnescens is described on the basis of morphological and genetic features. It is characterized by (sub)isodiametric spores; it has a variable number of low and obtuse knobs, lageniform cystidia, and habitat preference for thermophilous oak woods on calcareous soils. It is compared with type material of Inocybe xanthomelas and I. krieglsteineri, which share with the new species a darkening flesh and small to medium sized basidiomes. ITS analysis revealed a low intraspecific variability within each Inocybe lineage, suggesting their accommodation as independent species. On the basis of this DNA region, I. xanthomelas and I. krieglsteineri are closely related. The present work suggests also updating several names in public databases to accommodate the present taxonomic conclusions. A lectotype for I. xanthomelas is designated.
