Taxonomy
editIt was originally described in 2014 by the mycologists Ilkka Kytövuori, Kare Liimatainen and Tuula Niskanen who classified it as Cortinarius caesiocolor. 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 Phlegmacium boreidionysae based on genomic data.[3]
Habitat and distribution
editFound in southern Finland, where it grows with oak, poplar, and hazel in deciduous forests, roadsides, and parks, it was described as new to science in 2014. The specific epithet refers to the bluish-violet color of the cap. C. chromataphilus is a sister species.[2]
