Location: Mixed conifer forest, HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon and WA State

Notes: This is a relatively common and fairly distinctive PNW member of Section Anomali that was identified for me but for which I have not found a Type. An upcoming paper will stabilize the names in this section. The three collections here vary by 2 base pairs in a way that looks like a read interpretation (3 vs 4 bases repeated). North American species in section Anomali include at least 9 species:

• Cortinarius anomelovelatus
• Cortinarius anomalus
• Cortinarius barlowensis
• Cortinarius caninus
• Cortinarius sericeolazulinus
• And several undescribed species
