Initially described as Cortinarius austrovenetus by Australian naturalist John Burton Cleland in 1928, this mushroom along with many other members of the group was separated from the huge genus Cortinarius, and placed in the newer genus Dermocybe, commonly called Skin-heads, derived from the meaning of their scientific names.
Cortinarius rotundisporus was initially described by naturalists John Burton Cleland and Edwin Cheel in 1918.
