Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Purple Cort

This is the gill pattern of the purple mushrooms I posted yesterday. If I happen to be with someone who pulls a mushroom for ID purposes, then I will photograph the underside with no guilt, LOL. Sometimes, when walking through the forest, I'll come across a mushroom that has either been knocked over or pulled by someone and so take a photo or two. The colour of this mushroom was amazing. Thanks to Doug (dougwaylett) and Ron (Ron Wolf) for the ID and extra information : )

It was a thrill to come across these on Thursday, when we were walking at the west end of Bragg Creek Provincial Park. It's very unusual to come across purple mushrooms, so this was a real treat! Thanks, Doug, for letting me know the ID, Cortinarius violaceus, 'Purple Cort'. Feels so good to know the name : )
