The cap is coppery yellow to olive green, then red-brown, convex then expanded, with a central umbo; its margin is smooth and sometimes slightly wavy. The cap surface is woolly, with radiating fibrils, not viscid nor sticky. The stem is straw yellow to olive yellow, without ring, with a cortina. The flesh is olive-yellow, unchanging; its taste is faint, bitter; the odour is weak, of radish; its texture is fibrous. The gills are bright to olive yellow, adnate, distant . The spore print is rusty brown. This species is mycorrhizal. It grows on the ground, in coniferous or mixed woods, on a rather acid or neutral soil, with spruce, pine, birch, oak. The fruiting period takes place from July to December.
Chemical tests : none. Distinctive features : olive-yellow then reddish brown cap; cortina and stem yellow; bright orange to cinnamon-orange gills, and remaining so a long time; bitter taste; thin species; with conifers Cortinarius cinnamomeus is quite rare and scattered in the forest of Rambouillet, and is occasional, more generally speaking . | ||
