Cortinarius sp.

Commonly called "webcaps".

Young cortinarius mushrooms have a veil-like structure called a cortina between their cap and stem, which usually vanishes as they mature. Worldwide, it's estimated over two thousand species of cortinarius exist.

Dappled webcap (Cortinarius bolaris)

This immature webcap that I accidentally kicked over is poisonous, although not as dangerous as the deadly webcap (Cortinarius rubellus). The origin of the common name is obvious when you look at young specimens, as a web-like veil, known as a cortina covers the gills, which will tear open as the specimen matures, leaving remnants around the stem.

Goatcheese Webcap, Cortinarius camphoratus

Has a smell that’s not easily forgotten once you’ve put your nose close to it.
