Taxonomy

It was described as new to science in 2008 as a variety of another Cortinarius species, Cortinarius glaucopus var. subrubrovelatus[2] but raised to distinct species status in 2014. It was classified as Cortinarius subrubrovelatus and placed in the subgenus Phlegmacium of the large mushroom genus Cortinarius.[3]

In 2022 the species was transferred from Cortinarius and reclassified as Phlegmacium subrubrovelatum based on genomic data.[4] This study also reclassified Cortinarius glaucopus as Phlegmacium glaucopus.
