Nemapogon inconditella is a moth of the Tineidae family. It is found in most of Europe and North Africa, including Morocco. The wingspan is 12-16 mm. Adults are similar to Nemapogon clematella. Both species have cream-white forewings, covered with light brown scales. However, inconditella has two spots at the base of the frontal margin. Furthermore, there is a dark spot in the middle. The larvae feed on fungi, including Trametes versicolor.
