Summary
The characteristic, rather species-poor Cortinarius funga of dry, acidophilous to rich but not
calcareous oak forests in S Norway and Hungary is compared. Approximately 20 Cortinarius
species can be regarded as typical for these forest types in Norway/Hungary, including the following more or less habitat-speciic taxa of non-calcareous Quercus forests: C. cagei, C. emollitus,
C. orellanus, C. sabuletorum ss. Saar and C. subcompar. Some further non-calciphilous taxa
have a slightly wider host range, and can be regarded as typical Quercus-Carpinus-Fagus species
(e.g. C. subporphyropus, C. subpurpurascens) or Quercus-Picea species (C. purpurascens). The
Hungarian oak forests differ in the occurrence of a few southern species not found in Norway:
C. scaurotraganoides, C. xanthochlorus and C. xanthophyllus. The Norwegian oak forest element
includes a few taxa only found in Fagus forests in Hungary: C. barbatus, C. humicola, C. tofaceus.
Descriptions are provided for the following rare/little known taxa: C. subpurpurascens, C. subporphyropus, C. sabuletorum ss. Saar, C. xanthochlorus, C. subcompar, C. scaurotraganoides and
C. emollitus. C. subcompar is a character species of acidophilous oak forests in Hungary, but is
almost unknown elsewhere in Europe, with just a few records from Spain, (probably) France, one
from Germany and one from Norway. C. sabuletorum ss. Saar is another, apparently oak forest
specialist with very few documented records in Europe.
réSumé
Les auteurs comparent la fonge du genre Cortinarius caractéristique, plutôt pauvre en espèces,
des chênaies sèches, acides à plus riches mais non calciphiles du sud de la Norvège et de Hongrie.
Il y a environ 20 espèces de Cortinarius qu’on peut considérer comme typiques de ces forêts
en Norvège et en Hongrie, y compris les taxons suivants à habitat plus ou moins spéciique des
chênaies non calciphiles : C. cagei, C. emollitus, C. orellanus, C. sabuletorum ss. Saar et C. subcompar. Quelques autres taxons non calciphiles ont une gamme d’hôtes plus large et peuvent
être considérés comme des espèces typiques des associations Quercus-Carpinus-Fagus (p. ex. C.
subporphyropus, C. subpurpurascens) ou Quercus-Picea (p. ex. Cortinarius purpurascens). Les
chênaies hongroises se distinguent par la présence de quelques espèces méridionales qu’on ne
trouve pas en Norvège, à savoir C. scaurotraganoides, C. xanthochlorus et C. xanthophyllus. En
revanche, on trouve dans les chênaies norvégiennes quelques espèces qui en Hongrie ne poussent
que dans les hêtraies : C. barbatus, C. humicola, C. tofaceus. Les auteurs donnent des descriptions

des espèces suivantes, rares et peu connues : C. subpurpurascens, C. subporphyropus, C. sabuletorum ss. Saar, C. xanthochlorus, C. subcompar, C. scaurotraganoides et C. emollitus. C. subcompar est une espèce caractéristique des chênaies acides en Hongrie, mais à l’exception de
quelques mentions en Espagne, probablement aussi en France, et d’une seule en Allemagne et en
Norvège, elle est presque inconnue dans le reste de l’Europe. C. sabuletorum ss. Saar est une autre
espèce manifestement spécialisée dans les chênaies, très peu mentionnée jusqu’ici en Europe.
ZuSammenfaSSung
Die charakteristische, recht artenarme Cortinarius-Funga trockener, saurer bis reicherer, aber
nicht kalkliebender Eichenwälder Südnorwegens und Ungarns wird verglichen. Annähernd 20
Cortinarius-Arten kann man als typisch für diese Wälder in Norwegen und Ungarn betrachten,
einschließlich der folgenden mehr oder weniger standort-speziischen Arten nicht kalkliebender
Eichenwälder: C. cagei, C. emollitus, C. orellanus, C. sabuletorum ss. Saar und C. subcompar.
Einige weitere nicht kalkliebende Taxa haben ein etwas weiteres Wirtsspektrum und können
als typische Quercus-Carpinus-Fagus-Arten (z.B. C. subporphyropus, C. subpurpurascens)
oder Quercus-Picea-Arten (z.B. Cortinarius purpurascens) betrachtet werden. Die ungarischen
Eichenwälder unterscheiden sich durch das Vorkommen einiger südlicher Arten, die man nicht in
Norwegen indet, nämlich C. scaurotraganoides, C. xanthochlorus und C. xanthophyllus. In den
norwegischen Eichenwäldern wiederum kommen einige wenige Arten vor, die man in Ungarn nur
in Fagus-Wäldern indet: C. barbatus, C. humicola, C. tofaceus.
Beschreibungen werden für die folgenden seltenen, wenig bekannten Arten gegeben: C.
subpurpurascens, C. subporphyropus, C. sabuletorum ss. Saar, C. xanthochlorus, C. subcompar,
C. scaurotraganoides und C. emollitus. C. subcompar ist eine Charakterart saurer Eichenwälder
in Ungarn, ist aber mit Ausnahme einiger Nachweise aus Spanien, wahrscheinlich aus Frankreich
und je einmal aus Deutschland und Norwegen im übrigen Europa fast unbekannt. C. sabuletorum
ss. Saar ist eine andere, offensichtlich auf Eichenwälder spezialisierte Art mit bisher wenigen
Nachweisen in Europa.
riaSSunto
Vengono confrontate specie rare del genere Cortinarius che crescono in boschi di quercia
asciutti, da acidi a più arricchiti, ma non calcarei della Norvegia meridionale e dell’Ungheria.
Per questi boschi della Norvegia e dell’Ungheria, circa 20 specie del genere Cortinarius sono
caratteristiche, comprese le seguenti specie che sono più o meno legate a particolari luoghi di
ritrovamento in boschi di quercia di terreni non calcarei: C. cagei, C. emollitus, C. orellanus, C.
sabuletorum ss. Saar e C. subcompar. Altri taxa di terreni non calcarei sono micorrizici anche di
altri alberi e sono specie tipiche di Quercus-Carpinus-Fagus (per esempio, C. subporphyropus,
C. subpurpurascens) o Quercus-Picea-Arten (ed esempio, Cortinarius purpurascens). I boschi
di Quercus ungheresi si distinguono per la presenza anche di alcune specie meridionali, che
mancano in Norvegia. Queste sono: C. scaurotraganoides, C. xanthochlorus e C. xanthophyllus.
Invece, nei boschi di Quercus norvegesi troviamo alcune poche specie che in Ungheria crescono
nei boschi di Fagus: C. barbatus, C. humicola, C. tofaceus.
Sono descritte anche alcune specie rare e meno note, quali C. subpurpurascens, C. subporphyropus, C. sabuletorum ss. Saar, C. xanthochlorus, C. subcompar, C. scaurotraganoides e
C. emollitus. C. subcompar è una specie rara, tipica dei boschi acidi di Quercus in Ungheria,
ma eccetto alcuni ritrovamenti segnalati in Spagna, probabilmente anche in Francia e un unico
ritrovamento in Germania e in Norvegia, è una specie quasi sconosciuta nel resto d’Europa.
Cortinarius sabuletorum ss. Saar è un’ulteriore specie verosimilmente legata ai boschi di Quercus,
ma inora sono segnalati solo pochi ritrovamenti in Europa.

Introduction
Calcareous deciduous forests house a very diverse funga of Cortinarius species. Many taxa
especially of subgenus Phlegmacium are calciphilous and many are more or less restricted to
calcareous forests dominated by Quercus, Carpinus, Fagus, Tilia and Corylus (Brandrud &
BEndikSEn 2001, Brandrud & SchmidT-STohn 2011, JEppESEn & FrøSlEv 2011). Deciduous
forests on less or non-calcareous soils are much less species rich in cortinarii, and their species
composition differs considerably (cf. KnudSEn & VESTErholT 2008). However, the Cortinarius
funga of the non-calcareous forests are less focused and less documented.
In the present paper, we compare the acidophilous to eutrophic oak-dominated forests on noncalcareous ground in S Norway and Hungary. Both regions, although widely separated, have welldeveloped oak forests as a major component on thermophilic–xerophilic sites with intermediate
to acid bedrocks, and in both regions these forests have been extensively mapped for Cortinarius
species.
Material and Methods
Data from the Norwegian and Hungarian museum herbaria (herb. O, herb. BP; including own
material) has been compiled, with focus on data on habitat preference. Furthermore, the presented
species have been studied from various oak forests of the regions, including documentations with
photographs and descriptions of macro- and micromorphology. Lists of investigated material from
Norway and Hungary are included, with the present authors abbreviated TEB, DB and SSt. Some
of the collections have also been DNA (ITS) analysed, following standard methods (FrøSlEv et
al. 2005, cf. also SchmidT-STohn & OErTEl 2009).
Eutrophic–acidophilous oak forests in S Norway and Hungary
S Norway: Xerophilous-thermophilous Quercus robur-Q. petraea forests are found along the
coast of southernmost Norway, with a concentration in the counties of Aust-Agder and Vest-

Agder. These are usually open, dry, shallow-soil forest types (Fig. 1), with co-dominance of
Corylus avellana and Tilia cordata (in rich types) as well as Populus tremula. Carpinus betulus
is often co-dominant in nemoral European oak forests, but does not occur as far north as Norway.
These dry oak forests range from edaphic rich (but not calcareous) low herb types with species such
as Hepatica nobilis, Lathyrus niger and (abundant) Convallaria majalis to strictly acidophilous
ones with Deschampsia lexuosa, Melampyrum pratense and Vaccinium myrtillus. Most stands
occur on siliceous, but somewhat richer bedrocks (amphibolites, larvikites, basalts), whereas the
most acid bedrock ridges are occupied by pine forests. These thermophilous oak forests include
a number of habitat-speciic, southern fungi in Norway, such as Hydnellum and Ramaria species
(see e.g. Brandrud 2007, Brandrud et al. 2012). Floristically, the richest Quercus-Tilia forest
types on more siliceous bedrocks («amphibolite oak-lime forests») resemble the calcareous Tilia
forests of the Oslofjord area, but their fungal elements area quite different (cf. lists of calcareous
Tilia forest species in Brandrud et al. 2011).
Hungary: Four main association types of the acidophilous oak forests exist in Hungary (Genisto pilosae-Quercetum petraeae, Deschampsio lexuosae-Quercetum sessililorae, CastaneoQuercetum and Luzulo-Carpinetum). They are developed mainly on siliceous bedrocks, e.g.
amphibolite, rhyolite, dacite, andesite, gneiss, mica, sandstone, etc., usually at the top of steep
slopes (25–40°) (Fig. 2). All of them are characterized by Quercus petraea mixed with e.g. Car-

pinus betulus, Fagus sylvatica at higher altitudes/N exposition, and with Quercus robur, Castanea
sativa, Pinus sylvestris in W and SW Hungary. Quercus pubescens might be co-occurring on
more thermophilic sites, and Betula pendula and Populus tremula in younger stands. The poor
vegetation is characterized by e.g. Deschampsia lexuosa, Genista pilosa, Hieracium spp., Luzula
luzuloides, Melampyrum pratense, Vaccinium myrtillus. The moss layer is often well-developed
sometimes with almost 100% coverage, with Dicranum spp., Polytrichum spp. and Leucobryum
glaucum. The funga of these forest types are dealt with in the classic mycoenological study of
BohuS and BaBoS (1967) and BohuS (1984), focusing the fungal assemblages along the gradient
of soil pH from calciphilous to acidophilous frondose forests.

Cortinarius species with preference for eutrophic-acidophilous oaks forests
S Norway: Altogether 15 Cortinarius species have the majority of Norwegian records in dry,
eutrophic-mesotrophic(-acidophilous) oak forests (Tab. 1). This list includes e.g. three taxa in
each of the (sub)sect. Purpurascentes and sect. Phlegmacioides of subgen. Phlegmacium, and
ive taxa of subgen. Telamonia. A few species are rather frequent (C. largus/lividoviolaceus,
C. orellanus, C. torvus), but most are fairly rare, with <15 known occurrences under oak. Many
of these preferent oak forest species also have a number of localities in the steep scree forests of
Tilia(-Corylus) type or Corylus (-Betula-Pinus) type along the fjords of W Norway, some also in
SE Norwegian Fagus forests. However, this fungal community normally lacks in the calciphilous
Tilia-Corylus forests in SE Norway (Tab. 1).

Altogether 9 species are exclusively or almost exclusively associated with rich to acidophilous oak
forests, including three taxa often placed in section Orellani of subgen. Cortinarius (C. humicola,
C. orellanus, C. tofaceus). Most of the species in Tab. 1 are found in the rich oak forest types,
some in mesotrophic/semi-rich ones, and only few species such as C. emollitus occur in the strictly
oligotrophic/acidophilous types in Norway. Cortinarius talus and C. variecolor, being most frequent
in Betula pubescens and Picea abies forests, resp., are also included in Tab. 1, since their southern,
thermophilous deciduous forest populations have a preference for eutrophic-acidophilous oak forests.
11
Hungary: A total of 15 Cortinarius species are typical in acidophilous oak forest type in Hungary
(Tab. 2), from which 12 are also found in similar habitats of Norway. These cortinarii are more or
less rare (except C. torvus, C. cagei) but widespread. Altogether 9 species (C. balteatocumatilis,
C. purpurascens, C. sabuletorum ss. Saar, C. xanthochlorus from subgen. Phlegmacium; C.
cagei, C. scaurotraganoides, C. subcompar from subgen Telamonia; C. orellanus from subgen.
Cortinarius; and C. emollitus from subgen. Myxacium) are almost exclusively associated with
oaks on acid to strongly acid soil, and can be regarded as character species of these oak forests.
However, all of the species included in Tab. 2 can also occur occasionally in acidophilous Fagus
forests, or in Picea plantations in case of C. purpurascens. Cortinarius largus, C. subporphyropus
and C. talus are fairly rare with Quercus, but more common with other hosts e.g. Fagus or Betula.
The occurrence of C. variecolor and C. acetosus (C. rigens ss. Lange) is uncertain due to the
confusion of the related species.

Comparison of the cortinarii of oak forests in S Norway versus Hungary
The acidophilous-eutrophic oak forest element is remarkably similar in S Norway and Hungary;
at least 12 of the species are common for these kinds oak forests in the two areas, and almost all
of the most specialized oak forest species in S Norway occurs in similar oak forests in Hungary.
12
At least the following taxa can be regarded as specialized non-calcareous Quercus forest species
in both countries: C. cagei, C. emollitus, C. orellanus, C. sabuletorum ss. Saar and C. subcompar.
The Hungarian oak forests differ, however, in the occurrence of some southern species not found
in Norway; C. scaurotraganoides, C. xanthochlorus and C. xanthophyllus. Among the taxa on
the Norwegian list, C. humicola, C. tofaceus and C. barbatus cannot be found in Hungarian
oak forests, but these occur in other acidophilous-mesotrophic forest types in Hungary. Some
of the species treated here, can be regarded as typical Quercus-Carpinus-Fagus species on noncalcareous ground (e.g. C. subporphyropus, C. subpurpurascens).
The high similarity in the eutrophic-acidophilous oak forest element in S Norway and Hungary
indicates that this fungal element is widespread, and with fairly similar habitat requirements in
different parts of Europe, ranging from northwestern, suboceanic areas to central, continental
districts. The same element is apparently found also in SW Germany; in park-like oak stands on
loamy/sandy acid soils, with inds of C. sabuletorum, C. lividoviolaceus, C. balteatocumatilis, C.
subpurpurascens, C. orellanus, C. hinnuleus, C. torvus, C. subcompar and C. emollitus (G. Saar,
pers. comm.). Cortinarius subcompar, which stands out as one of the more habitat-speciic taxa
of acidophilous oak forests, is recorded from this habitat also in the Thüringen district of Germany
(pers. obs. SSt; Kyffhäuser/Rothenburg; acidophilous oak forest on sandstone with Leucobryum
glaucum; together with C. bolaris), and apparently also occur in similar habitat in oceanic areas of
Spain (CadiñanoS AGuirrE 2006; sub nom. C. moserianus, C. pseudophlegma).
However, some differences in habitat between Hungary and S Norway can be seen. There is a
tendency that these species occur in more acidophilic oak forest types in Hungary than in Norway.
For instance, the poisonous and well-known C. orellanus occurs rather strictly in acidophilous
oak forests in Hungary. Otherwise in C Europe it is partly indicated as a character species for
acido-thermophilous habitats (GmindEr & KriEGlSTEinEr 2010, DähnckE & DähnckE 1979) and
partly indicated from basic as well as acidic soils (BrEiTEnBach & Kränzlin 2000), whereas it
in Norway almost always grows in the richer (but not calcareous) low herb oak forests, often
together with Hepatica nobilis. This regional difference is even more pronounced in the case
of the yellow/greenish Phlegmacium species C. xanthophyllus and C. xanthochlorus. BohuS
(1970, 1984) documented that these were growing in more or less acidophilic forests with low
pH topsoils in Hungary. In the northernmost outposts for these species in SE Sweden, on the
contrary, these are occurring on strictly calcareous ground. Similar regional patterns are seen also
with some other species in related habitats. For instance, Cortinarius splendens occurs mainly
on siliceous ground under Quercus suber in Mediterranean areas (pers. obs. TEB), whereas the
species in NE Germany occurs in calcareous beech forests (Brandrud & SchmidT-STohn 2011)
and in SE Norway in calcareous Tilia forests (Brandrud et al. 2011).

Habitat and distribution: Eutrophic to acidophilous Quercus, Carpinus, Fagus, Tilia and
Corylus forests, very rarely on calcareous ground. Apparently distributed in most parts of Europe;
from NW Norway-C Sweden south to the Mediterranean area. Distribution in some areas uncertain
due to confusion with the related C. purpurascens.

Comments: C. subpurpurascens is distinguished from C. purpurascens by the more clavate,
hardly-marginate bulb and the often paler, more ochraceous brown pileus. Generally, the
violaceous colours are also paler (and usually lacking on cap) on C. subpurpurascens. The spores
are furthermore slightly larger. The taxon has formerly often been named C. purpurascens var.
largusoides. C. purpurascens have a wider ecology, occurring in deciduous and in coniferous
forests, including young Picea plantations. In oak forests, however, these taxa may be co-occurring.
C. subpurpurascens in Norway normally occur in rich low-herb Quercus(-Tilia-Fagus) forests.
However, it is a «negative indicator» of the calciphilous Cortinarius element; when you ind this
species, you normally do not ind the calciphilous ones. In Hungary it is typical in acidophilous
or subacidophilous frondose forests, associated mainly with Quercus, but also with Fagus and
Carpinus.

Comments: Cortinarius subporphyropus is the smallest Phlegmacium species in Europe. The
species is distinguished from C. porphyropus by the smaller fruitbodies and the larger spores (C.
porphyropus spores: 8–9.5 × 5–6 µm). The habitat is also different; C. porphyropus is a strict
Betula associate, mainly occurring in N Europe subalpine Betula forests, but also with Betula in
C Europe, whereas C. subporphyropus mainly occur in Quercus and Fagus forests, sometimes
also in Picea plantations, possibly also with Betula. The spore morphology of C. subporphyropus
shows a high, but apparently not taxonomic relevant variation. In S Norway, comparatively small
spore are found, 9–10.5 × 5.5–6.5 µm, whereas in Hungary spores (9.5–)10–11.5(–12) × 5.5–
7 µm are found. Cortinarius mendax Bidaud, Mahiques & Reumaux is macroscopically quite
similar to our species, but is described with even smaller spores, of the size of C. porphyropus
spores (8–10 × 5–6 µm; Bidaud 2011).

Cap 4.5–8(–10) cm, convex, viscid-glutinous when young, often radially innately ibrillose,
initially (pale) greyish blue, at least towards margin, sometimes completely whitish, but soon
discolouring to pale greyish brown, centre becoming more fulvous brown, sometimes apparently
almost whitish towards margin. Gills initially greyish white. Stem 4–8 × 1–2 cm, bulb up to
2.5 cm wide, cylindrical-clavate to almost marginate bulbous, greyish white, somewhat (red)
brownish spotted with age; when young girdled or peronate of lilac blue veil. Flesh whitish,

DNA (ITS) sequence: No internal (infraspeciic) variation found. Differs by >30 nucleotides
to related species. Nearest neighbour species not clear.
Habitat and distribution: In rich-mesophilous-acidophilous (non-calcareous) QuercusCarpinus forests. Hitherto with certainty known from S Norway, Hungary, Germany (Saar 2010)
and France (Jura; pers. obs.; cf. also Bidaud et al. 1995, 1996, sub nom. C. sabuletorum, C.
clarobaltoides).

Comments: C. sabuletorum ss. Saar is characterized by its initially pale bluish cap (margin)
and veil on stem, and otherwise whitish stem, lesh and gills. These features resembles those of
C. balteatocumatilis, but C. sabuletorum ss. Saar is generally much paler, usually smaller and
becomes more pronounced brown discoloured when bruised. The present species also resembles
C. largus, but this always has a (faint) tinge of bluish in young gills and stem. The species has
been quite unknown until recently, but was depicted and described in detail by Saar (2010).
18
The blue pigment is fugacious and seems mainly restricted to the veil. Saar (2010) described
C. sabuletorum with cap «jung weisslich, graulich-lila, lilabräunlich», and one picture shows
young specimens with white cap margin. In our experience, the species normally has a pale lilacbluish or pale greyish blue cap when young and quite fresh, as a «diluted C. balteatocumatilis»,
but quite white young caps have been observed occasionally also in Hungary (see Fig. 7). The
original description of C. sabuletorum (Bidaud et al. 1995) its our species in many respects, but
might also represent pale forms of C. largus or related species without bluish tinges, and the type
material should be further investigated (including DNA). Cortinarius clarobaltoides Rob. Henry
ss. Bidaud et al. (Bidaud et al. 1996: Pl. 207), probably also represents our species.
The species is typical for eutrophic-acidophilous oak-hornbeam forests in Norway and Hungary,
and is reported from the same habitat also in Germany (Saar 2010: «auf nicht kalkhaltigen
Böden»). The species are named C. latobalteatus in the Norwegian red list (KålåS et al. 2010).
Cortinarius xanthochlorus Rob. Henry
Fig. 9
Cap 4–8(–10) cm, convex, with age often slightly innately ibrillose, when young yellowish green
or pale olive green, centre more olive brown. Gills yellowish green. Stem 4–6 × 1.2–2.5(–3) cm,
with an often acutely marginate bulb (–5 cm), greenish yellow, veil at bulb margin slightly volva-like,
greenish yellow. Basal mycelium whitish, sometimes with a lilac tinge. Flesh greenish yellow in stem,
whitish in pileus and bulb. Macrochemical reactions: KOH olive brown in context and on surfaces,
40% KOH often faintly reddish on bulb margin. Smell faint, somewhat unpleasant, yeast-like.

Extractable pigments: lavomannin-6,6’-dimethylether (FDM).
Spores 12–14 × (6.5–)7–8 mm (MV = 13.14 × 7.36 µm), Q = 1.79, citriform to amygdaliform,
very distinctly and rather densely verrucose. Cap cuticle ± simplex, hyphae (3–)4–8(–10) µm
19
wide, some hyphae zebra-striped encrusted, below with cemented bundles with thick, refractive
walls. Also with greenish yellow pigment, becoming ± purple with KOH on exsiccates.
DNA (ITS) sequence: Phylogenetically apparently fairly isolated; differing >30 nucleotides
to related species.
Habitat and distribution: Nemoral and (sub)mediterranean deciduous forests. Associated mainly
with Quercus spp., mainly Q. petraea, Q. cerris and Q. pubescens, more rarely with Q. robur, and
Fagus sylvatica, probably also with Carpinus betulus, in thermophilous, calciphilous to mesophilopusacidophilous, often dry, grazed, herb-rich, open woodlands or forests of Quercus or Quercus-Carpinus
type. Very rare. Most records are from Hungary (e.g. BohuS 1970 as C. olivascentium p.p.; Rimóczi
& AlBErT 1992, AlBErT 1996, VaSaS & LocSmándi 2009) and the Appennines, C Italy (PödEr 1982;
ConSiGlio 1997 as C. olivascentium and C. pseudofulgens). Otherwise recorded in France (HEnry 1966;
EySSarTiEr 2004), Spain (Ballarà 1999, as C. olivascentium), Belgium (VEllinGa 1986), Switzerland,
Germany (KriEGlSTEinEr 1991) and a few outpost localities in Sweden (Brandrud et al. 1996). Depicted
material from Japan apparently also belong here (leg. & det. K. Maruyama, available on the Internet).

Comments: C. xanthochlorus is characterized by its olive green colours, robust fruitbodies
with a sharply marginated bulb, innately ibrillose cap and large spores. The spores are larger than
those of any other, resembling frondose forest taxa. The colours resembles those of C. citrinus,
and their main pigment lavomannin-6,6’-dimethylether (FDM) is the same, but these two species
are genetically fairly distant according to ITS sequences (FrøSlEv et al. 2007).
The species seems restricted mainly to southern temperate-supramediterranean, open oak-hornbeam forests. The species is collected form calcareous soils e.g. in the Appennines in C Italy, in
W Switzerland, S Germany and S Sweden, whereas in Hungary it occurs in more siliceous soils,
almost avoiding the calciphilous forests types. The latter habitat preference is untypical for the
calochroid-fulvoid Phlegmacium species.
The present concept its well with the type material of C. xanthochlorus, having the
characteristic, large spores, and FDM pigment. According to the descriptions in HEnry (1951,
1966), the name C. olivascentium seems to be a synonym, but the spores in the type material are
too small.
Cortinarius subcompar Bohus
Fig. 10, 11
Cap 3–6 cm, convex, often slightly umbonate, silky ibrillose when young, dry but may be
slightly sticky when wet, hygrophanous, greyish-bluish to ochraceous brownish, sometimes pale
silvery greyish, usually with persistently bluish tinges at margin. Gills crowded, emarginate, pale
greyish blue at irst, blush tinges often very weak, and soon fading, then turning pale ochrerusty brown. Stem 2–4 × 0.5–1 cm, with clavate to marginate bulb at the base, dry, whitish
ibrillose, with bluish tinges, especially at apex (often contrasting more greyish lamellae); cortina
pale greyish-blue. Flesh greyish, bluish-violet, with hygrophanous streaks, becoming ochre at the
stem base, taste slightly sour, smell indistinct. Chem. reaction: brownish with KOH.

Fig. 11 — Cortinarius subcompar (SSt 07-190)
spores 2000:1, focus-stacking from 6 single photos
21
Spores (6.5–)7–8.5 × 4.2–5 µm, ovoid to (broadly) ellipsoid, strongly and rather densely
verrucose, moderately to fairly strongly dextrinoid.
DNA (ITS) sequence: Preliminary DNA (ITS) study shows that C. subcompar is related to C.
malachius (Fr.) Fr. and C. quarciticus H. Lindstr., both associated with conifers.
Habitat and distribution: In acidophilous nemoral and submontane frondose forests,
associated with Quercus spp. (rarely with Fagus sylvatica), somewhat thermophilous, main
fruiting period is at the end of August or beginning of September. Norwegian ind from rich
Quercus-Tilia forest. C. subcompar is a character species in the Hungarian acidophilous Quercus
forests, especially at the Vaccinium-Leucobryum type. Rare but widespread in Hungary (from W
Hungary to NE Hungary), however, it is almost completely unknown in other European countries.
Recently recorded from Germany (Saar, Schmidt-Stohn pers. com.), Norway and from Spain
(CadiñanoS AGuirrE 2006, sub nom. C. moserianus and C. pseudophlegma; in acidophilous oak
forests), possibly also found in France (HEnry 1981, sub nom. C. pseudophlegma).
Investigated material from NO and HU: NORWAY: Aust-Agder, Arendal, leg. I. Kytövuori,
TEB 625-11 (Quercus-Tilia). HUNGARY: Pest; Budakeszi, BP 56933 (holotype) (Quercus).
Pest; Budakeszi, DB 1775 (Quercus); Győr-Moson-Sopron; Sopron, DB 3118 (Quercus); Heves;
Parádóhuta, DB 4124 (Quercus, Fagus).
Comments: Cortinarius subcompar is characterized by the stout and phlegmacioid appearance,
the silvery greyish-bluish colours, the persistently low umbo on cap, the almost marginated bulb,
the small spores and the occurrence on acid soils with frondose trees. Hungary seems to be the
chore area for this rare and little known species. In Hungary the species can be easily recognized
since no similar species occur in that kind of habitats. The coniferous species, C. quarciticus
seems to be closely related according to morphology and DNA studies. In CadiñanoS AGuirrE
(2006), the described and depicted material of C. moserianus and C. pseudophlegma, possibly
also C. argentatum-silvae represent C. subcompar. Furthermore, the original description of C.
pseudophlegma Rob. Henry its also well with C. subcompar (HEnry 1981, p. 272–273.), thus the
former seems to be a synonym of the latter. But further molecular studies are needed to clarify
this hypothesis.
Cortinarius scaurotraganoides Rob. Henry ex Rob. Henry
Fig. 12
Cap 5–9 cm, convex, ibrillose-tomentose when young, later becoming naked, radially marbled,
may be slightly sticky only when wet; whitish-cream, greyish, pale ochre, sometimes with faint
bluish tinges at margin, ochre brown when wet, sometimes slightly hygrophanous with age. Gills
broad, crowded, emarginate; ochre brown at irst, inally rusty brown, edge paler, somewhat
wavy. Stem 5–8 × 1.5–2 cm, light greyish ochre, with more or less marginated bulb (2.5–4 cm
wide), with abundant ibrillose silver grey veil remnants at bulb margin. Flesh yellowish ochre,
sometimes with violet tinges at stemapex, saffron to rusty ochre brown at the base; taste sour,
smell strongly fruity, like that of C. traganus.
Spores 7–8.5(–9) × 4.5–5.5 µm, ellipsoid to somewhat amygdaloid, inely verrucose,
moderately dextrinoid.
Habitat and distribution: In acidophilous Quercus forests (Vaccinium and Leucobryum
type), only exceptionally in Fagus-Carpinus forests, with distinct southern and thermophilous
distribution. Associated with different species of Quercus, e.g. Q. petraea, Q. pubescens, Q. suber,
and very rarely with Carpinus or Fagus. Known from France (Bidaud et al. 1993), Hungary
(LukácS 2002, AlBErT 2011) and Spain (Ballarà et al. 2010). Apparently very rare, but seems to
be widespread in S Europe.

Fig. 12 — Cortinarius scaurotraganoides (Hungary), DB 3117
Comments: Cortinarius scaurotraganoides is characterized by the whitish-greyish colours,
the saffron or orange tinged lesh at the stem base, the strong and typical smell of C. traganus,
and the occurrence in acidophilous frondose forests. It resembles to C. traganus but the latter
differs by having distinct bluish colours, slightly larger spores (8–9.5 × 5–6 µm) and different
ecology (boreal and montane coniferous forests). C. traganus f. ochraceus is very similar, but
it also has somewhat larger (traganus-like) spores and an associated with conifers. Cortinarius
niveotraganus Kytöv. Niskanen & Liimat. ad int. is also member of this group, but it occurs in
boreal Betula forests and has distinctly larger and strongly verrucose spores.
Cortinarius emollitus Fr.
Fig. 13
Cap 2–7 cm, convex to umbonate, margin often undulate; viscid-glutinous, innately ibrillose
(at least when not too dry), due to ine hygrophanous veins; vividly ochraceous brown to yellow,
sometimes with orange tinges, often uniformly coloured, or somewhat more brown at centre,
margin initially often pale ochraceous yellow to yellow white. Gills initially greyish white, later
greyish brown, pale brownish. Stem 3–8 × 0.5–1.5 cm, bulb up to 2 cm wide, cylindrical-clavate
to strongly bulbous, sometimes with a faintly marginate bulb, sometimes tapering below the
bulb, slender to (very) robust, whitish, persistent or somewhat ochraceous with age; universal
veil (very) thin, viscid, white, restricted to zone near bulb. Flesh whitish, taste bitter in all parts.
Smell indistinct.
Spores: (6.5–)7–8.5 × 4–5(–5.5) µm ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid, weakly verrucose.

Fig. 13 — Cortinarius emollitus (Hungary), DB 1067
Habitat and distribution: In acidophilous-mesophilous Quercus(-Corylus-Tilia) forests, also
found once in calcareous Tilia forest. Hitherto known with certainty (including genetic analysis)
only from S Norway, S Sweden (K. Liimatainen, pers. comm.) and Hungary, but collections from
SW Germany probably also belong here (Saar, Schmidt-Stohn pers. com.).

Comments: The species resembles C. vibratilis s. l., but differs in its normally characteristic
innately ibrillose cap and habitat in oak (versus coniferous) forests. The species is morphologically
variable, from rather small and slender to large and robust. In Hungary almost exclusively
associated with Quercus spp. and it seems to be a character species of the acidophilous oak
(frondose) forests. In Norway it occurs both in poor to rich, dry oak forest types, preferentially in
mesotrophic ones. However, C. emollitus is fairly overlooked and the real distribution is unknown,
due to the confusion with C. vibratilis s. l. The protologue and unpublished plate of C. emollitus
in Fries (FriES 1838) it well with our species; habitat indications correspond, and Fries indicates
also that this has an innately ibrillose cap.
