title: A re-evaluation of the Cortinarius scobinaceus and Cortinarius impolitus complex in the Mediterranean area.
abstract: We have conducted a taxonomic study of Cortinarius belleri, C. cistohelvelloides, C. impolitus and C. scobinaceus from material collected in Spain, France, Italy, Portugal and Morocco. Based on anatomy, morphology, ecology and distribution (geographical data) we recognize two species, C. impolitus and C. scobinaceus, and the new combination C. scobinaceus var. cistohelvelloides is made. Cortinarius belleri, C. cistohelvelloides, C. impolitus and C. scobinaceus have been typed, and a key for identification of these taxa is included.
