      Photo taken in a hurry. I didn’t have time to take a sample.

      This was in mixed woodland (ancient woodland that was overplanted with conifer now being gradually cleared of conifers) under hazel, but birch, oak and willow also present nearby.

      I assume it’s a Cortinarius, but I can’t see anything like it in Kibby&Tortelli. Any pointers?

        If anyone is interested, this was sent for DNA analysis, and came back as being in the Cortinarius croceus clade, with GenBank suggesting C.polaris or C. cinnamomeoluteus with the Unite database suggesting C.uliginosus.

        C.polaris is highly unlikely given this is an artic/montane species associated with dwarf Salix.
