Cortinarius subbalaustinus is a medium-sized, web-capped mushroom with rusty-brown coloring and a cortina veil characteristic of the large Cortinarius genus. It grows in deciduous and mixed forests forming ectomycorrhizal associations with oak and related hardwood trees in temperate Europe. This fungus exchanges nutrients with tree roots and produces fruiting bodies in autumn.
