Earthy webcap
Cortinarius hinnuleus
A species of Cortinar.
The moldy, earthy scent of the *Cortinarius bolaris* is what gives it its common name. Its brownish cap has a smooth texture. While resembling many brown webcaps, it has a slight distinction due to its preference for moist environments near poplar or willow trees.
