The species was described in 2014 and classified as Cortinarius myrtilliphilus. 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 Phlegmacium myrtilliphilum based on genomic data.[3]

Etymology

The specific epithet myrtilliphilum (originally myrtilliphilus) alludes to the association with Vaccinium myrtillus plants.[2]
