Calonarius splendens is a species of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. [1] It is commonly known as the splendid webcap. [2] The species is native to Europe where it has been implicated in poisonings resulting in kidney failure, though with milder symptoms than other deadly webcaps. [3]

Taxonomy

The species was described in 1939 by the mycologist Robert Henry who classified it as Cortinarius splendens. [1]

In 2022 the species was transferred from Cortinarius and reclassified as Calonarius splendens based on genomic data. [4]

Habitat and distribution

It has been classed as conspecific with Cortinarius meinhardii , although the two species have different tree hosts—the former with the European beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) and the latter with Norway spruce ( Picea abies ). [5]
