The Amethyst Deceiver can be seen growing in broadleaved and coniferous woodlands amongst the leaf litter. It is edible but is similar in appearance to the poisonous Lilac Fibrecap.
Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking
The amethyst deceiver can be seen growing in broadleaved and coniferous woodlands among the leaf litter. It is edible, but is similar in appearance to the poisonous Lilac fibrecap; indeed, never pick and eat fungi that can you cannot positively identify. Fungi belong to their own kingdom and get their nutrients and energy from organic matter, rather than photosynthesis like plants. It is often just the fruiting bodies, or 'mushrooms', that are visible to us, arising from an unseen network of tiny filaments called 'hyphae'. These fruiting bodies produce spores for reproduction, although fungi can also reproduce asexually by fragmentation.

A fairly small toadstool, the amethyst deceiver is bright purple in colour. It has lilac flesh and the gills are attached to the stem, widely spaced and are deep purple. The stem is covered in tiny, white hairs.

Max discovered this little purple gem on our first trip (of this year) to the New Forest. Amethyst Deceivers are one of those photogenic species that you can use to experiment with techniques; For this one I used a light above the subject angled so it would shine through the gills.
I think this is called an amethyst deceiver which is meant to be edible. I am not that good at fungi ID so if anyone knows any better I would love to be informed. But I do know that there are other violet coloured ones that are poisonous so I won't be trying my luck in cooking these.

My only comment being to confirm that I am still struggling to cure that addiction to narrow dof. Though, please note this is f/3.5, so it could have been worse :-)))
Additional comment added:
I think this might be an amethyst deceiver (Laccaria amethystina), which is described by my mushroom book as being a deep violet (meaning it represents "vein" in my fungi rainbow) and edible. The colour is strongest when the specimen is young, so this must be a baby by my reckoning.
