Blood-reddish cobweb (Cortinarius semisanguineus)

Cobweb red-lamellar or blood reddish (O le t. Cortinarius half-blood) ose ituaiga o ga'o e iai ile ituaiga Cobweb (Cortinarius) ole aiga Cobweb (Cortinariaceae).

Cap of the red-plated cobweb:

Bell-shaped in young mushrooms, with age it very quickly acquires a “half-opened” shape (3-7 cm in diameter) with a characteristic central tubercle, in which it remains until old age, sometimes only cracking at the edges. The color is quite variable, soft: brown-olive, red-brown. The surface is dry, leathery, velvety. The flesh of the cap is thin, elastic, of the same indefinite color as the cap, although lighter. Smell and taste are not expressed.

Faamaumauga:

Quite frequent, adherent, characteristic blood-red color (which, however, smooths out with age, as the spores mature).

Spora pauta:

Enaena enaena.

Leg of red plate:

4-8 cm high, lighter than the cap, especially in the lower part, often curved, hollow, covered with not very noticeable remnants of the cobweb cover. The surface is velvety, dry.

Faʻasalalau:

The blood-reddish cobweb is found throughout autumn (often from mid-August to the end of September) in coniferous and mixed forests, forming mycorrhiza, apparently with pine (according to other sources – with spruce).

Ituaiga tutusa:

There are more than enough similar cobwebs belonging to the subgenus Dermocybe (“skinheads”); a close blood-red cobweb (Cortinarius sanguineus), differs in a hat red, like young records.
