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

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.
