Cortinarius flos-paludis is a mycorrhizal agaric fungus in the family Cortinariaceae, assessed as Least Concern (LC). It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with trees in wetland or boggy woodland habitats and produces a characteristic cortina veil when young. It is a relatively widespread species within its specialised habitat.

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.
