strange mushroom ID?
Hello all,
I have a friend who has found a beautiful pale lavendar "toadstool" type mushroom that are perhaps up to 2" in diameter and maybe an inch off the ground that grow below the grass line. They are very high in water content and very delicate with almost a ruffle shape on the edges of the cap. We can't find it in any mushroom ID book and look to this group to see if they can tell us what they are. We are just curious! Many thanks, Judi |

Many thanks, Judi I can't help in the ID, but I saw two of the same ones in my woods. I have never seen these before. I thought of them more as light slate blue, but you could say a greyish lavender. Discription the same, coming up under some leaves, and partially exposed, til I uncovered them to look. Kira |

Judi,
I found a website that *might* have an image that would help you. It's the John C. Tacoma Mushroom Slide Collection, 1968-1978, Indiana University -- and it seems to have a *lot* of images: http://www.ulib.iupui.edu/special/mss019.html Good luck! Anne Lurie PS -- Googling for "blue mushroom" brings up images, but they're fish! |

Hi Anne,
Thanks for the great link! After noodling around, I saw some very familiar sights. I have greyish-lavender blue ones like this: http://www.ulib.iupui.edu/special/tacoma/mush0412.html And tan ones like this: http://www.ulib.iupui.edu/special/tacoma/mush0409.html And coral-y red ones like this: http://www.ulib.iupui.edu/special/tacoma/mush0404.html http://www.ulib.iupui.edu/special/tacoma/mush0407.html All of these are called Russula. Does anyone know about the toxicity with these? -- laurie brooke adams (Mother Mastiff) mastiffs at mindspring dot-com ***If a DOG could choose whether to just be beautiful, or to be sound and healthy TOO, what do YOU think the dog would choose?*** (C) 2002 My words are my own.
