Extract from Wikipedia article: Cortinarius triumphans, also known as the birch webcap, or yellow girdled webcap is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Cortinarius found in Europe. It is regarded as edible by some authorities, although others call it suspect and it resembles inedible species.
Cortinarius triumphans is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Cortinariaceae. It has a cap that ranges from 2-6 cm in diameter, initially convex then becoming flat, with a reddish-brown to orange-brown color. The gills are adnate to emarginate, moderately spaced, and rust-colored. The stipe is 3-7 cm long, 0.5-1.5 cm thick, and has a club-shaped or bulbous base. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Cortinarius triumphans typically grows in coniferous forests, especially with spruce and pine, from late summer to early autumn. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be found in areas with rich soil and adequate moisture.
