Thaxterogaster melleicarneus is a species of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae.[1]
Taxonomy[edit]
It was described as new to science in 2014 and classified as Cortinarius melleicarneus. It was placed in the subgenus Phlegmacium of the large mushroom genus Cortinarius.[2]
In 2022 the species was transferred from Cortinarius and reclassified as Thaxterogaster melleicarneus based on genomic data.[3]
Etymology[edit]
The specific epithet melleicarneus refers to the honey colored cap.[2]
Habitat and distribution[edit]
