Fibrillose stem, seemed like it might have been growing from dead wood. Taxonomy seems confused, but I guess this is *a* name.

Description from Wikipedia

Cortinarius is a genus of mushrooms. It is suspected to be the largest genus of agarics, containing over 2000 different species and found worldwide. A common feature among all species in the genus Cortinarius is that young specimens have a cortina (veil) between the cap and the stem, hence the name. All also have a rusty brown spore print. The common names cortinar and webcap refer to members of the genus.
