Amethyst Deceiver - Amethistzwam
There is a gorgeous diversity of mushrooms /fungi this year, I find mushrooms, like this one, I never saw before. Found it at a walk with a friend, who knew the name, so now I know how this one is called ;-))
And in the background on the left side you see some unknown fungi.
Laccaria amethystina, commonly known as the 'amethyst deceiver', is a small brightly colored mushroom, that grows in deciduous as well as coniferous forests. The mushroom itself is edible, but can absorb arsenic from the soil. Because its bright amethyst coloration fades with age and weathering, it becomes difficult to identify, hence the common name ‘Deceiver’. This common name is shared with its close relation Laccaria laccata that also fades and weathers. It is found mainly in Northern temperate zones, though it is reported to occur in tropical Central and South America as well. Recently, some of the other species in the genus have been given the common name of "deceiver". - WiKi
De amethistzwam (Laccaria amethystina), ook wel 'rodekoolzwam' genoemd, is een zwam uit het geslacht van de fopzwammen, een plaatjeszwam zonder manchet. De paddenstoel is vanwege de kleur genoemd naar de kwartsvariëteit amethist. De amethistzwam is eetbaar. - WiKi
