Cortinarius laniger Fr. subgenus Telamonia Cap 4-10cm across, domed, campanulate; heavy and thick-fleshed; ochreous cinnamon-colored; broken up with fibrils, only a touch hygrophanous.

Flesh creamy marbled with cinnamon patches. Odor said not to have an odor, but mine smelled distinctly of pelargonium (household geranium). Taste mild.
