Calonarius luteicolor is a species of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae.[2]
Taxonomy
It was described as new to science in 1944 by American mycologist Alexander H. Smith, who called it Cortinarius orichalceus var. olympianus f. luteifolius.[2]
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.[3]
In 2022 the species was transferred from Cortinarius and reclassified as Calonarius luteicolor based on genomic data.[4]
Etymology
The specific epithet luteicolor refers to yellowish colors of the cap and gills.[3]
Habitat and distribution
The mushroom is found in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, and British Columbia in Canada.[3]
