Calonarius verrucisporus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. [1]
It was described as new to science in 1969 by the mycologists Harry Delbert Thiers and Alexander H. Smith who classified it as Cortinarius verrucisporus. [2]
In 2022 the species was transferred from Cortinarius and reclassified as Calonarius verrucisporus based on genomic data. [3]
The mushroom is brownish-yellow. Its cap is 3–7 cm wide, convex, brownish-yellow, dry, with firm yellow flesh, and mild odor and taste. [4] The gills are adnate to notched, whitish to yellow, browning as the spores mature. [4] The stalk is 1–3 cm tall, 1–2 cm wide, equal or clavate, with a yellow partial veil. [4] The spores are brown, elliptical, and warted. [4]
Its edibility is unknown, but it is not recommended due to its similarity to deadly poisonous species. [4]
Cortinarius magnivelatus is similar in appearance, but with a white veil and flesh. [4]
The species is characterized by a long-lasting membranous universal veil. [5]
The specimens studied by Thiers and Smith were found growing solitary under Conifers in Silver Lake, California in June. [2]
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.
Phlegmacium ponderosum, also known as the Ponderous Cortinarius, is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. It is very large and due to its thick stem it can be mistaken for Boletus edulis.
Phlegmacium triumphans, also known as the birch webcap, or yellow girdled webcap is a basidiomycete mushroom in the family Cortinariaceae. It is found in Europe and regarded as edible by some authorities, although others call it suspect and it resembles inedible species.
Thaxterogaster purpurascens is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. It is commonly known as the bruising webcap.
Cortinarius vanduzerensis is a species of mushroom in the family Cortinariaceae. Described as new to science in 1972, it is known only from the Pacific Northwest region of North America, where it grows under conifers such as spruce, hemlock, and Douglas-fir. The fruit bodies of the fungus, or mushrooms, have a slimy dark chestnut-brown cap that becomes deeply radially grooved or corrugated in maturity, and reaches diameters of up to 8 cm. The gills on the underside of the cap are initially pinkish-buff before becoming pale brown when the spores mature. The stem is lavender, measuring 10–18 cm (4–7 in) long and 1–2 cm thick. The mushroom produces a rusty-brown spore print, with individual spores measuring 12–14 by 7–8 micrometers. The edibility of the mushroom has not been determined, and it has been described as "much too slippery to be of value".
