Cortinariaceae
This is a large family with brown spores and entire gills that
are always attached to the stem. Many species have the characteristic cobwebby/fibrous
veil (called a cortina) that collapses to leave a thready ring on the stem.
None are found on dung, but many are saprophytic on wood, humus or soil. Many
others are mycorrhizal with hardwoods or conifers.
