Spooky mushrooms

Do you know those purple mushrooms? Meet the amethyst deceiver (Laccaria amethystina), a nitrogen-loving fungus commonly found in Poland. It’s got quite a spooky reputation as a fan of cemeteries, graves, and other resting places. You know… nitrogen. I love how it looks, so I really wanted to get a nice picture of it. And finally, I did! I was thrilled—until I realized what might’ve made it grow in the little grove by the parking lot, where I’d been crawling around to get the shot. So, uh… yeah. Pretty, isn’t it?
