Reviewed scientific notes are shown in French.
- Collybia rivulosa: C. rivulosa est une petite espèce fragile souvent givrée, tandis qu’I. geotropa adulte est robuste à long pied et mamelon central; les caractères d’un jeune sujet peuvent rester difficiles.
- Entoloma sinuatum: E. sinuatum a des lames échancrées devenant roses; I. geotropa a des lames décurrentes et conserve généralement un mamelon central.
- Infundibulicybe gibba: Gibba est généralement plus petit et plus souple, au bord ondulé. Geotropa est robuste et souvent mamelonné. Ces tendances ne suffisent pas seules; le pied de gibba est souvent creux, sans être universellement creux.
