Why are there Brush Icons on Kyle's Brushes?

I noticed that on all the sets of Kyle's brushes, there is a specific brush icon in the upper right-hand corner and it seems I can only use the associated brush of that icon.

For instance, some have the regular brush tool icon, I can't switch it to the Mixer brush tool, nor can I change the settings. Is it locked? How do I unlock them? What does that icon indicate?

Thanks!

Hi

In CC2018 brushes can be saved with our without an associated tool preset. The icon shows where a brush is saved with the tool and will automatically switch to that tool if selected.

In the current release, you can load the brush without changing tools by holding down Ctrl+Alt (Cmd+Opt on Mac) and clicking on the brush

It would help of you showed which OS which PS, which panel, Which panel options, which add-on your using. Looks like you showing part of a tool presets panel where all tools preset are shown. That I do not recognize the format of. Are you using CC 2018 or some Add-on. In my Photoshop Tool preset panel I see the tool icon on the left and no thumbnail. You seem to have a thumbnail on the left and a tool icon on the right
