Cortinarius hillieri is a mycorrhizal agaric fungus in the family Cortinariaceae, assessed as Endangered (EN). It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with forest trees and produces characteristic cobweb-like veils (cortina) when young. Its endangered status reflects habitat loss through deforestation and changes in woodland management.
