Cortinarius urbicus is a robust, fibrous-capped mushroom in the Cortinarius genus with a silky brown cap and rust-spored gills at maturity. It inhabits coniferous and mixed forests, forming ectomycorrhizal associations with spruce, pine, and occasionally deciduous trees. This fungus obtains nutrients by trading sugars with its tree partners in forest soil environments.
