Notes
Given their dull colors, viscid cap, bulbous stem and non-visid stipe, these mushrooms do not fit well with descriptions from Arora. Cortinarius fulmineus is supposed to have brighter yellow coloration than is evident in these specimens.
Soil colour - dark brown; Rich organic soil; Lots of mosses and fallen leaves; Worms present; Salal near dead log; Under tall conifers; Fairly shaded area; On slope (water draining down); On trail, near river (can see river); Solitary, not growing in a group
