Laccaria amethystina
Bright purple, long-stemmed mushrooms growing out of a rotting trees and leaf litter.
A dark, wet, wooded area of a local nature preserve.
Although this mushroom is edible, it's not considered a good choice. While not inherently toxic, in soils that are polluted with arsenic, it can bioaccumulate a high concentration of that element.
