Cortinarius corrosus  Fr. (1838)                                                                         *Collections: Europe

Cortinarius corrosus is commonly seen in the montane conifer forests of Europe. Despite its similarity to the Calochroid species with its marginated bulb, most traditional sources placed it in Sect. Multiformes. Now we know that genetically it is well placed within the Calochroid super-clade.
