Cortinarius archeri

Cortinarius archeri

Description:

A thick blue stipe with a robust purple-blue cap when young but fading some after aging. These ones are very young.

Habitat:

Growing from woodchip mulch under a mix of oak and eucalyptus in suburbia.

Notes:

Native to southern Australia but has been found in California and is mycorrhizal with the roots of eucalypts. Pics 3,4 were taken 6 weeks later to show how different they can look when older.

Added 2 pics of the same mushroom 6 weeks older. This shows one of the big problems in identifying many species of fungi.
