Amethyst Deceiver
Laccaria amethystina
10 cc/mL liquid culture
Laccaria amethystina is one of the most recognizable members of the genus Laccaria, distinguished by coloration ranging from lilac and violet to deep amethyst. The common name Amethyst Deceiver reflects both its striking color and the way that coloration can change considerably as the organism matures and dries. It has a broad distribution across Europe and North America and has accumulated a substantial history in field guides and mycological literature. The genus Laccaria is placed within the family Hydnangiaceae, while L. amethystina is closely associated with several similarly colored Laccaria taxa, making its classification and changing appearance particularly interesting within the genus.
