FOTD #034 : amethyst deceiver! (laccaria amethystina)
the amethyst deceiver is a mycorrhizal fungus in the family hydnangiaceae. it is found in most temperate areas across europe, asia & central + south + (eastern) north america.
the big question : can i bite it?? yeah !! this fungus is edible, though not necessarily choice.

l. amethystina description :
"the cap is 1–6 cm in diameter, & is initially convex, later flattening, & often with a central depression (navel). when moist it is a deep purplish lilac, which fades upon drying out. it is sometimes slightly scurfy at the center, & has pale striations at the margin. the stem is the same colour as the cap, & has whitish fibrils at the base, which become mealy at the top. it is fibrous, hollow, fairly tough when rolled in the fingers, with dimensions of 0.6 to 7 centimetres (0.24 to 2.76 in) long by 0.1 to 0.7 centimetres (0.039 to 0.276 in) thick. the flesh is without a distinctive taste or smell, & is thin, with pale lilac coloration. the gills are colored as the cap, often quite distantly spaced, & are dusted by the white spores; their attachment to the stem is sinuate—having a concave indentation before attaching to the stem."

Amethyst deceiver (Laccaria amethystina)
Just gorgeous.
CORRECTION: This is a wood blewit (Lepista nuda) which I didn’t look at nearly carefully enough before posting, because they’re easy to tell apart if you do! Amythest decievers have decurrent gills (they run down the stipe), whereas blewits have sinuate gills (they attach near the top of the stipe, very slightly curving down it).

Funguary Feb 20 - Edible amethyst deceiver - Laccaria amethystina
Like many other Galliformes, edible amethyst deceiver grouse are generally heavily-built birds.  While they resemble mushrooms in order to distract foxes and martens, unfortunately for the deceiver, both of those creatures will eat fungus if they must. As a result, the edible amethyst deceiver has been forced to camouflage itself in places more suited to it's colouration such as goth mood boards and EBM clubs.

It's not Funguary, but I was bored and decided to draw mushrooms from photos, most of which I had saved for the challenge

I'm planning to draw mushrooms that match my OCs, but I haven't decided yet how this will be done (You may have seen one of them for 21 days with Giant Puffball)

BACK TO FUNGUARY!!! decided to make amethyst deceiver a monster of sorts, as it can become a poisonous mushroom depending on the enviroment it grows since it can absorb arsenic from the soil, but can still be a friendly little fella :)
