Birken-Gürtelfuß

Cortinarius bivelus is a mycorrhizal agaric fungus in the family Cortinariaceae, assessed as Data Deficient (DD). Like other members of the genus, it forms ectomycorrhizal associations with forest trees and produces a characteristic cobweb-like cortina veil when young. Insufficient data on its distribution and population size prevent a reliable conservation assessment.

Wiesen-Hautkopf

Cortinarius pratensis is a webcap mushroom associated with grassland and woodland edge habitats, featuring an ochre to pale brown cap and the rusty-spored gills typical of Cortinarius. It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with trees in temperate European environments. Listed as Data Deficient, its precise ecology, population status, and taxonomic boundaries require further investigation.
