Calonarius

Calonarius is a genus of fungi in the family Cortinariaceae.

The genus was created in 2022 when the family Cortinariaceae, which previously in then-recent phylogenetic studies contained only the one genus of Cortinarius, was reclassified based on genomic data and split into the genera of Cortinarius, Aureonarius, Austrocortinarius, Calonarius, Cystinarius, Hygronarius, Mystinarius, Phlegmacium, Thaxterogaster and Volvanarius.

The genus is further divided with subgenus and section classifications:

The name Calonarius derives from the combination of the genus name Cortinarius and the section name Calochroi in which these species were placed prior to the reclassification.

As of January 2023, Species Fungorum accepted 133 species of Calonarius.
