Goatcheese Webcap - Cortinarius camphoratus

Fruiting bodies of Cortinarius camphoratus (Cortinariaceae) are sometimes more easily to identify by their distinctive smell, camphor-like, mature goat's cheese, rotting potatoes or (some people say) sweaty feet!, so ... the bad smell and taste, advise against consumption. 

This species can be found under conifers and hardwoods, in forests of North America and Europe.
