Cortinarius trivialis is a rather striking toadstool with a slimy brown cap and distinctive bands of veil remnants on its stem. It is widespread and fairly common in Britain, usually associated with willow and birch in wet woodland. In West Glamorgan it is often found on old coal tips where it may occur in conspicuous groups. It also occurs with willows along forest roads in conifer plantations, sometimes in very large numbers.
