Contents

Calonarius xanthodryophilus is a species of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. [1]

Taxonomy

The species was described in 2011 by the mycologists Dimitar Bojantchev and R. Michael Davis who classified it as Cortinarius xanthodryophilus. [2]

In 2022 the species was transferred from Cortinarius and reclassified as Calonarius xanthodryophilus based on genomic data. [3]

Description

The mushroom cap is 6–10 cm (2.5–4 in) wide, convex then flat or uplifted, and yellow then yellow-brown. [4] The gills are notched, crowded, yellow then brown as the spores mature. [4] The stalk is 5–10 cm tall and 1.5–3 cm wide, club-shaped, and sometimes tinted blue. [4]

It should not be consumed due to its similarity to deadly poisonous species. [4]

Habitat and distribution

It is native to North America. [4]
