Violet ametysthat (Laccaria amethystina)

Denne svamp er temmelig almindelig, og den kan findes i både gran- og løvskov.

Den friske ametysthat har violet hat, lameller og stok. På ældre eksemplarer farves lamellerne hvide af modne sporer. Forveksles næppe med andre arter.

Arten regnes for en spisesvamp trods det faktum, at den er i stand til at ophobe anseelige mængder arsenfra jorden. Kulinarisk er ametysthat dog mest interessant som pynt, da den ikke har nogen nævneværdig smag.

Violet ametysthat findes fra august til november; men i milde år dog også senere.

Amethyst Deceiver (Laccaria amethystina)

This mushroom er quite common in both coniferous and deciduous forests.

The freshly emerged Amethyst Deciever has violet cap, gills and stem. On older mushrooms, the gills turn white with spores. Is unlikely to be confused with other species.

This species is considered edible, though it is known to absorb arsen from the soil. Its culinary value is limited to the visual effect as a garnish, as it has no noteworthy taste.

The Amethyst Deciever is found from August through November and even later in mild winters.
