Taxonomy

It was described in 1928 by John Burton Cleland who classified it as Cortinarius lavendulensis.[2]

In 1960 it was reclassified as Phlegmacium lavendulense by Meinhard Michael Moser.[1]

In 2022 a genomic study of the family Cortinariaceae transferred many Cortinarius species to new and existing genera. The basionym Cortinarius lavendulensis was transferred to Phlegmacium and listed in the paper as a novel combination accredited to the mycologists Tuula Niskanen and Kare Liimatainen.[3]
