Grape flavored?
It’s lavender! (Pricilla Queen of the Desert)
Lovely. Like something from a storybook.
What kind is it: toxic or tasty?
Could be both
Yeah, I heard death cap is tasty. A pity that it kills you.
Yeah but its worth it
More likely neither.
It’s probably a Cortinarius sp. and probably poison. There’s an edible purple cort but I think it’s usually a lot darker purple.
Might also be an Inocybe sp. which would also be poison.
We talking like, poison or like, poison Poison?
There are a few deadly Corts but those tend to be reddish instead of purple. Corts are very under-studied in general so there are are many with absolutely zero info about them (usually because they’re nearly identical to several others) and the deadly ones have a delay before they destroy your kidneys so it’s generally not a good idea to even try.
Inocybe are generally “days of your body attempting to purge out of every orifice” poisonous which usually won’t kill you unless you become too dehydrated.
It is pretty.
Boolo cap
For Karl
Mushroom!

Looks a lot like my own purple mushroom!
