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.

FOTD #088 : elegant blue webcap! (cortinarius rotundisporus)

the elegant blue webcap is a basidiomycete fungus in the family cortinariaceae. it is currently only found in aotearoa & sourthern australia ; it grows in rainforests & eucalypt forests :-)

the big question : can i bite it?? the edibility is unknown.

c. rotundisporus description :

"the cap ranges from 2.5 to 7 cm (1–3 in) in diameter, & is initially convex before flattening. it has a slight boss that is mustard-, honey- or cream-yellow tinged & steely blue elsewhere. the adnate gills are creamy or lilac-tinged early, & darken with the spores. the slender 5–7.5 cm (2–3 in) stipe lacks a ring; it is pale yellow or white with a tinge of the cap colour. the flesh is yellowish & may have a lilac or pale blue tinge."
