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

Two violet corts! My third ever tattoo on a person, from a while back. Pretty proud of this, and it's healed so well.
Still offering pwyw/pwyc tattoos in Montréal while learning ❤️
