Taxonomy

edit

The species was described in 2014 and classified as Cortinarius subfraudulosus. 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 subfoetidum based on genomic data.[3]

Etymology

edit

The specific epithet subfraudulosus referred to its similarity to Cortinarius fraudulosus[2] (since reclassified as Phlegmacium fraudulosum).[3] With its reclassification the specific epithet was changed to subfraudulosum.

Habitat and distribution

edit

Found in Fennoscandia and Estonia, where it grows on the ground in hemiboreal and boreal forests.[2]
