Thaxterogaster talimultiformis is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Cortinariaceae.^[1] It was previously known as Cortinarius talimultiformis.

Taxonomy

The species was described in 2014 and classified as Cortinarius talimultiformis. It was placed in the subgenus Phlegmacium of the large mushroom genus Cortinarius.^[2]

In 2022 the species was transferred from Cortinarius and reclassified as Thaxterogaster talimultiformis based on genomic data.^[3]

Etymology

The specific epithet talimultiformis refers to the similar features it shares with species Thaxterogaster multiformis and Thaxterogaster talus.^[2]
