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]
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]
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]
The Cortinariaceae are a large family of gilled mushrooms found worldwide, containing over 2100 species. The family takes its name from its largest genus, the varied species of the genus Cortinarius. Many genera formerly in the Cortinariaceae have been placed in various other families, including Hymenogastraceae, Inocybaceae and Bolbitiaceae.
