two questions.
Sozo what's 9+10
do you know of the Cortinarius violaceus?
It is 19. Obviously.
Cortinarius violaceus, common name; Violet Webcap. A lovely purple mushroom. Typically with a tall stipe and textured cap. Some say they are edible but just not worth it as they do not taste as distinct as they look. However consuming them may cause extreme stomach pain and other adverse health affects. It is recommended not to consume any type of cortinarius mushrooms due to this common trait.
One of the most beautiful mushrooms I’ve found in Washington is the violet cort or violet webcap, Cortinarius violaceus. The “webcap” name comes from the cobweb-like veil that covers the gills when the mushroom is young. It’s surprisingly hard to spot, despite being a deep purple, and it’s fairly uncommon. I’ve seen it most often in old growth forests, which are rare these days. I found this one in Olympic National Forest near Lena Lake. They’re edible, but unpleasant-tasting, despite having a pleasant cedar-like smell.
