Review (by Malcolm Storey)Reviews this subgenus of Cortinarius nominally distinguished by both cap and stem having slimy coating. In practice this is a theoretical distinction and a number of species break the rules. The paper presents a key to species followed by species accounts. There are good photographs of most of the species.

Specimen PreparationSpore micro-characters are fundamental in this group.
