German naturalist Jacob Christian Schäffer described this species in 1774. Lucien Quélet transferred it to the genus Inocybe in 1872.[2]

I. fastigiata has a brownish fibrous cap, and stalk that lacks a ring.

In Israel, I. fastigiata grows under Palestine oak (Quercus calliprinos) and pines, with mushrooms still appearing in periods of little or no rain as they are mycorrhizal.[3]

In Israel, it is confused with edible mushrooms of the genus Tricholoma, particularly Tricholoma terreum, and Suillus granulatus, all of which grow in similar habitat.[3]
