Cortinarius collinitus, commonly known as the belted slimy cortinarius,[1] is a species of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae.

Description

[edit]

The cap is 3–10 centimetres (1+1⁄4–4 in) in diameter,[1] convex to flat in shape, with a sticky, gelatinous surface (in moist conditions). The gills are adnexed, close, and pallid or pale violet in color. The stipe is typically 5–15 cm long, 0.5–2 cm thick, solid and equal.[1] It has transverse scaly-looking bands. The spore print is rusty-brown,[1] like that of most Cortiniarius species.

The species is considered inedible,[2] partly due to the complex of related species not yet having been tested.[1]

Habitat and distribution

[edit]

It grows singly or in groups with hardwoods and conifers.[1]
