Laccaria amethystina, commonly known as the amethyst deceiver, or amethyst laccaria, [1] is a small brightly colored mushroom. Because its bright amethyst coloration fades with age and weathering, it becomes difficult to identify, hence the common name "deceiver".
The mushroom cap is between 1.5–7 cm, [3] and grows from egg-shaped when young to broadly convex, finally ending up nearly flat. [4] The cap's color starts yellow or bright yellow, and fades to whitish or greyish with age. [5]
Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colors', versicolor accurately describes this fungus that displays a unique blend of markings.
Baorangia bicolor, also known as the two-colored bolete or red and yellow bolete after its two-tone coloring scheme, is an edible fungus in the genus Baorangia.It inhabits most of eastern North America, primarily east of the Rocky Mountains, and is in season during the summer and fall months, but can also be found in China and Nepal.

The species was first described scientifically by American mycologist Howard James Banker in 1913. [2] Italian Pier Andrea Saccardo placed the species in the genus Hydnum in 1925, [3] while Walter Henry Snell and Esther Amelia Dick placed it in Calodon in 1956; [4] Hydnum peckii (Banker) Sacc. and Calodon peckii Snell & E.A. Dick are synonyms of Hydnellum peckii.
