The cap of Cortinarius corpulentus is purplish, often with an orangish spot at the center. It is slimy when wet and about 4–13 centimeters in diameter.[1] The stipe is about 5–13 centimeters long and 1.5–7.5 centimeters wide.[2] It starts out white and later becomes orangish.[1] The gills start out bluish and become tan and eventually brown as the mushroom gets older.[2] They are adnexed and often notched.[1]
Habitat and ecology
Cortinarius corpulentus grows under douglas fir trees in Western North America.[2]
