Cortinarius rotundisporus
The cap can grow to 70mm diameter, convex at first, flattening out, often turning up with age. It is a deep indigo blue, paling with age, eventually becoming a rusty-brown tinged with blue. At first, the cap is viscid (slimy), but dries with age. A broad greenish-yellow umbo (central swelling or 'bump') is usually present in mature specimens. Gills are close together and of various lengths; pale lavender tinged with buff in young specimens, maturing to a rusty-brown. T
Very wet mossy forest floor.
