Abstract
A first series of observations on the fungus flora of the alpine zone in mountains of Wyoming and Montana is presented here. Special attention is given to species of the genus Cortinarius. Thirteen species of this genus are discussed or described, 5 of them are new: Cortinarius absarokensis sp. nov., C. fuscoflexipes sp. nov., C. mucronatus sp. nov., C. rufoanuliferus sp. nov., and C. vulpicolor sp. nov. Several of the other species treated are new for North America, including Lactarius nanus Favre.
