Cortinarius Hallowellensis
''Cortinarius hallowellensis'' is a fungus native to Western Australia and Tasmania. It was described in 2009 by Alec Wood, and is related to the northern hemisphere species ''Cortinarius violaceus ''Cortinarius violaceus'', common name, commonly known as the violet webcap or violet cort, is a fungus in the webcap genus, ''Cortinarius'', for which it serves as the type species. It was first species description, described by Carl Linnaeus ...''. The main species in the North America group, Cortinarius monticola, has also been identified, but has not been found in Australia. Despite this relative isolation, there is genetic interchange between the North American species and the Australian species.

Alec Wood
Alec E. Wood (10 September 1933 - 23 March 2016) was a mycologist affiliated with the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia who published major studies, describing a large number of new species, in the genera ''Galerina''Wood AE (2001) "Studies in the genus ''Galerina''." ''Australian Systematic Botany'' 14, 615–676 and ''Amanita''. With Tom May, he co-authored ''Fungi of Australia Volume 2A, Catalogue and Bibliography of Australian Macrofungi - Basidiomycota'' in 1997. He also authored popular identification books on Australian fungi.Wood AE. (1990). ''Australian Mushrooms and Toadstools: How to identify them'' (revised ed.).

Cortinarius Violaceus
''Cortinarius violaceus'', common name, commonly known as the violet webcap or violet cort, is a fungus in the webcap genus, ''Cortinarius'', for which it serves as the type species. It was first species description, described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 and has undergone several name changes. It is readily distinguished from other species in the genus by its dark colouration and distinct cystidia. There are some populations that seem to prefer deciduous trees and others that prefer pines, but no genetic divergence between the two has been found. When identified as taxonomy (biology), taxonomically separate from the deciduous-preferring populations, the pine-preferring populations have been referred to either as a separate species, ''C. hercynicus'', or as a subspecies, ''C. violaceus'' ssp. ''hercynicus''. Other populations once identified as ''C. violaceus'' or close to that species have now been described as new and separate species, such as ''Cortinarius palatinus ...

List Of Cortinarius Species
__NOTOC__ With around 2000 species, ''Cortinarius'' is the biggest genus of fungi that form mushrooms. Apart from a few species such as ''Cortinarius caperatus, C. caperatus'', many even so-called edible mushroom, edible species appear to have very similar species that are at least inedible if not poisonous mushroom, poisonous, or otherwise may differ in edibility geographically.

Cortinarius
''Cortinarius'' is a globally distributed genus of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. Its members are commonly known by the names cortinar and webcap. It is suspected to be the largest genus of agarics, containing over 2,000 widespread species. Young specimens have a cortina (veil) between the cap and the stem, hence the name. Most of the fibres of the cortina are ephemeral and leave no more than limited remnants on the stem or cap edge. All species have a rusty brown spore print. Several species (such as ''Cortinarius orellanus, C. orellanus'') are highly Mushroom poisoning, toxic and many species are difficult to distinguish, making their consumption inadvisable. Taxonomy Molecular phylogenetics, Molecular studies of members of the genus ''Rozites'', including its most famous member ''R. caperata'', have shown them nested within ''Cortinarius'' and have been sunk into this genus. This genus was erected on the basis of a double veil, yet its members do not form a di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fungi Described In 2009
A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae, and either Protista or Protozoa and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''true fungi'' or ''Eumycete ...
