Protoglossum is a genus of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. [2] Protoglossum was circumscribed by George Edward Massee in 1891. [3]
Protoglossum niveum is the only accepted species which remains in this genus with the previous 8 subsequently being reclassified as Cortinarius species as a result of papers in 2002 and 2014. [4]
