Cortinarius calochrous var. barbaricus Brandr.
[HOME]
dk[x]
This coniferous forest variety of C. calochrous is characterized by the persistently lilac gills and a blood red alcaline reaction on the cap surface. It might be confused with C. calochrous var. haasii, but the latter has lemon yellow basal mycelium, negative alcaline reactions and posseses abundant patches of veil remnants on the cap surface.
