Abstract

This article deals with the taxonomy of three species belonging to <em>Cortinarius</em> subgenus <em>Telamonia</em> section <em>Flexipedes</em>. The micromorphologies and mostly ITS gene regions were examined from the lectotypes and some syntypes of <em>Cortinarius phaeopygmaeus</em> J. Favre and <em>C. rusticellus</em> J. Favre. <em>Cortinarius phaeopygmaeus</em> appeared to be a previously unrecognized species. <em>Cortinarius rusticellus</em> is reduced to a synonym of <em>C. comatus</em> J. Favre. Its lectotype and protologue agreed with <em>C. comatus</em>. The syntype of <em>C. rusticellus</em> was conspecific with <em>C. lamoureae</em> Bon. <em>Cortinarius chrysophilus</em> is described as new from <em>Salix</em> vegetation on boreal seashores and in the alpine zone. It belongs to the <em>C. cucumisporus</em> complex.
