Amethyst Deceiver (Laccaria amethystina)
This purple beauty is found in deciduous and coniferous forests in temperate zones around North America, Central and South America, Europe, and Asia. Though vividly purple when young, older specimens loose their bright coloration and are more difficult to identify, which is why it is called the "deceiver". Though technically edible, it isn't considered a good choice to eat especially because pollutants in the soil, such as arsenic, can bioaccumulate in the mushroom.

Well, it's raining and cool here today. Hope it's sunny and warm where you are. Thanks for stopping by.
My very first crocuses I've have grown from bulbs. For people who know me it's a bit of a surprise, me growing flowers. I used to be such a city girl, but now I find a pleasure in doing different things ;)

These Purple Swamphens are an invasive species in Florida, they are similar to the much smaller Purple Gallinule. The coloration of the Legs, beak and forehead shield make them easy to distinguish from the Gallinule, they are also about 3 times the size. It is believed that they escaped from local bird keepers during hurricane Andrews in 1992. View my previous upload for comparison.
