Surrounded by bright, sunlit, green moss, and emerging from a small bank of wet soil, a beautiful purple mushroom grows. Its stipe is dull purple and roughly textured. Its cap is bright purple and has an almost fuzzy texture. The mushroom's shape is very umbrella-like, including the bent, handle-like base of its stipe.

A beautiful bright purple Cortinarius violaceus, the violet cort, makes a perfect umbrella-like shape among a slope of bright moss

Some drying out roadside mushrooms the ones in the front can be seen that their skirts are colored by the reddish brown of their spores. Behind it can be seen green foliage with some peeking blue sky, and a thick trunk with a dark cavity.

The forest has eyes on fungi✨
