Calonarius luteicolor is a species of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae.[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

It was described as new to science in 1944 by American mycologist Alexander H. Smith, who called it Cortinarius orichalceus var. olympianus f. luteifolius.[1]

Molecular analysis of the internal transcribed spacer DNA regions demonstrated that this taxon was sufficiently distinct genetically to warrant designation as a species, and it was renamed in 2014 and placed in subgenus Phlegmacium of the Cortinarius genus.[2]

In 2022 the species was transferred from Cortinarius and reclassified as Calonarius luteicolor based on genomic data.[3]

Etymology

[edit]

The specific epithet luteicolor refers to yellowish colors of the cap and gills.[2]

Habitat and distribution

[edit]

The mushroom is found in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, and British Columbia in Canada.[2]
