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]
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.

All bioluminescent fungi share the same enzymatic mechanism, suggesting that there is a bioluminescent pathway that arose early in the evolution of the mushroom-forming Agaricales. [5] All known luminescent species are white rot fungi capable of breaking down lignin , found in abundance in wood.
Turbinellus floccosus, commonly known as the scaly vase, or sometimes the shaggy, scaly, or woolly chanterelle, is a cantharelloid mushroom of the family Gomphaceae native to Asia and North America. It was known as Gomphus floccosus until 2011, [ 1 ] when it was found to be only distantly related to the genus's type species, G. clavatus .
The spore deposit is a light rusty saffron color. The spores have an elongated ellipsoid shape with a finely punctate (studded with punctures) to almost smooth surface, and measure 8.5–10 by 4.4 μm. The basidia (the spore-bearing cells) are 20–30 by 5–8 μm. [5] Fruit bodies of C. cinnamomeus are used in mushroom dyeing to produce a ...
