Abstract
Cortinarius peraurantiacus is a truffle-like fungus associated with Leptospermum. In the protologue of this species, a second, morphologically different but closely related form is mentioned, found in association with Nothofagus s.l. Phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequences indicates that both the Leptospermum-associated and Nothofagus-associated forms are nested within Cortinarius, but are distinct species. Cortinarius peraurantiacus is closely related to Protoglossum luteum. The southern beech-associated form is sister to an undescribed truffle-like species from Tasmania, and together are related to the New Zealand native mushroom Cortinarius dulciolens. Cortinarius beeverorum is described and illustrated to accommodate the southern beech-associated form.
