Some Australian Web-cap Mushrooms:
Cortinarius,  Dermocybe, Descolea Fungi

  When they are young,  web-cap mushrooms have a  cortina, which is web-like veil that runs between the stem of the fungus and the cap margins    The web is in place of a fleshy ring but because it is usually quite fine, the threads quickly break and  usually, on older specimens all that remains is a discoloured band of threads towards the top of the stem.  The spores of web-caps are usually copious and rust coloured so that older  specimens tend to have gills and stems that are stained  a rust colour.


The web-caps include  Cortinarius, Dermocybes, Cuphocybes, Crepidotus and Descolea fungi.

 Cortinarius is a very large group of mostly poisonous mushrooms and many Australian varieties have not been described and named.  For  more Australian Cortinarius, Dermocybe and Descolea mushrooms, consult fungioz app.
