Cortinarius atroviolaceus is a fungus native to Borneo, where it was originally collected by E.J.H. Corner on the slopes of Mount Kinabalu in 1964 and described by Meinhard Michael Moser in 1986.[1] Specimens from New Zealand classified as this species are probably a different species. It is poorly known.[2]
The mushroom is wholly dark purple with slightly paler flesh, and resembles Cortinarius violaceus though is smaller.[1]
