Cortinarius mushroom with blue colors - mood indigo
I found this fresh Cortinarius mushroom in the woods today. It has the viscid cap and bulbous stem of the subgenus Bulbopodium, though you can't see them in this photo. Maybe it's Cortinarius sodagnitus or C. glaucopus or something similar? This one is growing under Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia, Fagaceae). I have another photo of a similar mushroom from a week ago here. It's more of a blue-gray than an blue-violet, but it's my best shot at an indigo mushroom. Compare my [Previous] photo. This is my photo for the Macro Mondays group, with the theme "Inspired by a Song" - the song being "Mood Indigo" by the great Duke Ellington - listen here. HMM! (San Marcos Pass, 8 January 2017)
