It was described in 1989 by the German mycologist Rolf Singer who classified it as Cystolepiota albogilva.[3]
Description
Cystolepiota albogilva is a small white mushroom with white flesh.

The surface is covered with woolly scales (floccosus) which are white at the margins and discolouring yellow towards the centre. Gills: Free, crowded and whitish or pale cream. Stem: 1.5-1.9cm tall and 1-2mm wide.The surface is white and appears smooth and bare but it has a subtle frosted coating that may be more visible with a lens.

Basidia: 11-13 x 3.5-4.5 μm. Four spored. Smell: Indistinct.[3]
