Extract from Wikipedia article: Cortinarius armillatus, commonly known as the red-banded cortinarius, is a late summer and autumn (as late as in October) fungus usually found in moist coniferous forests, especially spruced ones. The species grows rarely in North America, but is common in Europe.
Cortinarius armillatus is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Cortinariaceae. It has a bell-shaped to convex cap, 3-6 cm in diameter, with a reddish-brown to chestnut-brown color and fibrillose scales. The gills are adnate to slightly decurrent, crowded, and rust-colored. The stipe is 4-7 cm long, 0.5-1.2 cm thick, and has a ring or zone of hairs. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Cortinarius armillatus typically grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce, pine, or birch trees, from late summer to early autumn. It is considered a rare to occasional species in the region, found in scattered locations, including parks, forests, and woodland edges.
