Phlegmacium subfoetidum is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. [1] It was previously known as Cortinarius subfoetidus.

Taxonomy

It was described as new to science in 1944 by American mycologist Alexander H. Smith who classified it as Cortinarius subfoetidus. [2] It was placed in Cortinarius (subgenus Phlegmacium).

In 1999 Meinhard Michael Moser and Joe Ammirati published the variety Cortinarius subfoetidus var. bubalinovelatus. [3]

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

Description

The mushroom cap is 3–10 cm wide, convex to flat (sometime umbonate), lavender to pinkish, bluish in age, slimy, smooth, with a fruity odor. [5] The gills are adnate to notched, lilac then brown as the spores mature. [5] The stalk is 5–10 cm tall and 1–2 cm wide, equal or clavate. [5]

Its edibility is unknown, but it is not recommended due to its similarity to deadly poisonous species. [5]

Similar species include Cortinarius griseoviolaceus and C. traganus . [5]

Cortinarius infractiflavus is a species of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. It was originally described as new to science in 1999 by Meinhard Moser, who named it Cortinarius infractus var. flavus. It was raised to species status in 2014 when molecular analysis showed it to be genetically distinct from C. infractus. The specific epithet infractiflavus refers to its relationship to C. infractus and its yellow cap. The mushroom is known from North American north of Mexico, Finland, and Bulgaria, where it grows on the ground in boreal and mountainous conifer forests.
