Calonarius is a genus of fungi in the family Cortinariaceae.
== Taxonomy == The genus was created in 2022 when the family Cortinariaceae, which previously in then-recent phylogenetic studies contained only the one genus of Cortinarius, was reclassified based on genomic data and split into the genera of Cortinarius, Aureonarius, Austrocortinarius, Calonarius, Cystinarius, Hygronarius, Mystinarius, Phlegmacium, Thaxterogaster and Volvanarius.
