Taxonomy

edit

It was described as new to science in 2014 and classified as Cortinarius caesiophylloides. 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 Thaxterogaster caesiophylloides based on genomic data.[3]

Etymology

edit

The specific epithet caesiophylloides alludes to both its similarity to Cortinarius multiformis var. caesiophyllus (now named C. caesiolamellatus), and the bluish tints in the gills.[2]

Habitat and distribution

edit

Found in Fennoscandia, where it grows on the ground in mesic coniferous forests.[2] It has since been found in Slovakia.[4]
