Cortinarius privignoides Henry subgenus Telamonia Cap 3-8cm across, convex; ochre to reddish brown; shiny with fine fibers, the edge with white veil remnants; only slightly hygrophanous. Gills adnate, for a long time whitish denticulate; pallid brown at first, then rusty brown at the edge. Stem 40-70 x 10-20mm, with a spongy egg-shaped bulb up to 40mm across; covered in white fibers. Flesh pallid with the slightest hint of violet at first, later touches of ochre, especially near the base. Odor slight. Taste mild. Spores longish ovoid, warty, 8-10 x 3.75-5.7µ, quotient 1.9. Deposit rusty brown. Habitat in mixed woods. Occasional. Found in Europe and New York and very possibly elsewhere. Season August. Not edible. Comment This is a European species; my American collections fit Henry's species very well. The spores are exceptionally long and narrow. |
