Beautiful Cortinarius
    #19180517 - 11/23/13 08:58 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I found this gorgeous Cortinarius this afternoon. I was about as excited as if I'd found a big patch of morels. Just ask Dave.

Wow! the contrast of the spore deposit on the dark stipe is incredible! :heart:

Maybe something like Cortinarius alboviolaceus?

I think what we get in the U.S. is believed to be a seperate species.

Hello, i live in coastal area South Carolina, i seem to find those really beautiful cortinarius everywhere. I think when i looked it up i saw that it may be cortinarius violaceus. They popped up about a month ago and have just dominated the area. Are they edible lol?

Thanks, applesmasher. I read that we have forms similar to alboviolaceus that grow in North America, and I had considered both alboviolaceus and violaceus last night, but I was too tired and neither of the seemed to really fit well. 

I looked at Mushrooms of the PNW (Trudell/Ammirati) this morning and the description for C. violaceus seemed to fit. Cap of my mushroom is 8cm wide at its narrowest by 10cm wide, which fits for violaceus but not albo-violaceus (listed up to 7cm). Also habitat of mixed oak and conifer seems to fit violaceus better.

The smell is described as very distinctively cedar wood. My wife and I smelled the decapitated cap and it definitely smells like cedar. I almost didn't admit that, because I remember the thread a few days back about sysnesthesia, I think it was called?  Wishful-smelling. I supose that could be the case, but man, it really smells like cedar.

Due to the whitish color of the flesh I'd point towards C. alboviolaceus rather than C. violaceus.

If it is indeed any of the two species. Try looking for more specimens, both really young and
battered old ones. Try splash it with some ammonia as well.

That gill shot with the mounded heaps of spores below is really nice! :smile::thumbup:

I asked Dimitar and he said "does not look quite like Cortinarius violaceus, but I think it is – I have some similar dried specimens with lacerated cap."

The lacerated cap might be due to weather conditions.  I found the mushroom on Saturday.  It had rained the previous Tuesday/Wednesday, but prior to that the last rain was the end of Sept.

The only photo I saw of C. violaceus that looked remotely similar to my specimen was in Trudell/Ammirati.

Cortinarius is the coolest genus of mushrooms. Amanitas are a close 2nd

That is all I have to add to this thread.
