Austrocortinarius is a genus of fungi in the family Cortinariaceae. [1]

Contents

Taxonomy

The genus was created in 2022 when the family Cortinariaceae, which previously contained only the one genus of Cortinarius was reclassified based on genomic data and split into the genera of Cortinarius, Aureonarius , Austrocortinarius, Calonarius , Cystinarius , Hygronarius , Mystinarius , Phlegmacium , Thaxterogaster and Volvanarius . [2]

Etymology

The name Austrocortinarius derives from 'austro' meaning South and Cortinarius. Currently the genus is only known from the Southern Hemisphere and so it is named in reference to this. [2]

Species

As of January 2023, Species Fungorum accepted 2 species of Austrocortinarius. [3]

  1. Austrocortinarius australiensis (Cleland & Cheel) Liimat. & Niskanen (2022)
  2. Austrocortinarius victoriaensis (Liimat.) Niskanen (2022)

It was placed in the of the large mushroom genus Cortinarius. The specific epithet cremeiamarescens refers to the fruitbody colour and the bitter-tasting cap cuticle.
