Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis is a mushroom found under conifers, usually pine, growing alone, scattered or gregariously in western North America.[2]
Description
The cap is 1–7 cm in width.[3]
The gills are purple.[4] The mushroom is edible.[1]
Spores are 7.5–10.5 x 7–16 μm, subglobose or broadly elliptical. The spore print is white.
Similar species
This species is similar to L. amethystina but differs by occurring than hard wood forest and in Eastern North America, rather than conifers forest; having a smaller sporocarp; and being a lighter purple color.[citation needed] L. bicolor is smaller and less purplish; L. laccata has whitish mycelium at its base.[5] Cortinarius violaceus is darker and has a less fibrillose stipe.[5]
