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

Description

[edit]

The cap is 3–9 cm in diameter, 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 6–12 cm long and 1–1.5 cm thick, solid, equal, and has transverse scaly-looking bands. The spore print, like most Cortiniarius species, is rusty-brown. The edibility for this species was unknown,[2] but it is now considered inedible.[3]
