DAVFP: 29724

Fungus name: Cortinarius luteo-ornatus (M.M. Moser) Bidaud, Moënne-Locc. & Reumaux

Substrate: Soil and Duff

Year of collection (y-m-d): 2016-07-27

Map coordinates: 56.1469°N, 127.2090°W

Collector: Berch, S.

Determiner: Ammirati, J.; Liimatainen, K.

Collection location: Motase Peak (near Shelagyote Peak), B.C.

Remarks: on ground near Abies lasiocarpa (Hooker) Nuttall; field collection 72; 2 big sporocarps; cap dark brown and criacked; stem beige at top, whiter at base; with cluster of buttons; Ammirati says "Your field collection 72 fit this species well. It is fairly common in conifer forest and can occur in subalpine Betula forests as well. Nice to see this with Abies lasiocarpa."

Collection location: Motase Peak (near Shelagyote Peak), B.C.

Remarks: on ground near Abies lasiocarpa (Hooker) Nuttall; field collection 73; cap slightly conic, silky, pale cinnamon brown; gills cinnamon; stem beige with cinnamon brown; Ammirati says "Cortinarius, section Laeti – Your field collection 73 Kare listed under C. auchmerus Moser, this is a synonym of C. laetus Moser. C. detonsus (Fr.:Fr.) Fr., your field collection 78, is a similar to laetus morphologically, however, it has basidiospores 9-10 x 5-6.5, ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid, slightly verrucose to nearly smooth, while the basidiospores of C. laetus are 10-12.5 (-14) x 5.2-6.8 µm, somewhat more verrucose and amygdalioform. Your field collections 73 and 78 both have relatively large spores, here it would be a good idea to sequence additional material and compare these two taxa."

Collection location: Motase Peak (near Shelagyote Peak), B.C.

Remarks: on ground near Abies lasiocarpa (Hooker) Nuttall; field collection 85; cap smooth and glossy; stem short; Ammirati says "Your field collection 85! As Kare indicated this is an interesting species, perhaps without a name, although there are still a number of unresolved arctic/alpine Telamonia. It does not key out to any species for certain. The habit and coloration of the basidiomata, the black exsiccatae, and the moderately large, slightly verrucose basidiospores are an interesting combination of features. This is one where more material and sequence data would be helpful."

Remarks: In soil, the dominant trees were Pseudotsuga menziesii, Thuja plicata, Alnus rubra, Corylus avellana. The Corylus had gone wild from an old orchard above the springs. English ivy covered much of the ground. Fungus (sclerotium) was about the size of a football, weighed 11 lb., and seemed to be made up of compressed soil with hardened soil on the outside. Discovered when making a trail down a hillside on property to some old springs that once were the source of drinking water for the city of Vancouver in the 1800s.
