The purple-silky crack mushroom ( Inocybe lilacina ) is a frequent poisonous mushroom from the family of the crack mushroom relatives (Inocybaceae). The fruiting body is small, violet and with an ocher-brown hunched hat.

features

Macroscopic features

The hat reaches 1–4 cm in diameter and is initially conical before expanding into a curved shape with a pronounced hump. The fibrous, silky surface is particularly violet when young, later fading in color with an ocher-brownish color on the hump and at the base of the stem. The edges of the hat are curved in front of the screen and connected to the stem by a white hair veil partial covering ( Cortina ). Some of them are bent upwards with age and can tear (→ “Risspilz”). The thin stem is 1–6 cm high and 3–6 mm thick. The Cortina does not leave a ring. The crowded lamellas are attached to the stem or almost free-standing and cream-colored when young, before they darken to a brownish, eponymous earth-color with the ripening spores. The cutting edges are bulbous and remain whitish. The spore powder print is ocher brown. The meat tastes sharp. The strong smell has been compared to flour or earth.

Microscopic features

The elliptical to almond-shaped spores are smooth and measure approximately 7–9 × 4–5.5 micrometers. There are numerous crystal-bearing (metuloid), half-length swollen pleuro cystids of 40–60 × 10–20 micrometers and similar cheilocystids.

Species delimitation

It could be mistaken for the edible violet lacquer funnel ( Laccaria amethystina ), whereby this species has a fibrous stem and fruity smell and does not have an ocher-colored hump and conspicuously distant lamellae .

Distribution and ecology

The purple-silky crack fungus is common and widespread in Europe and North America. ( Find reports from Western Australia for var. Lilacina turned out to be Inocybe violaceocaulis .) It lives in mycorrhizal symbioses in deciduous and coniferous forests. It is fruiting from June to November in grassy spots, near paths or waterways, or often on rich, bare earth that has been churned up along roadsides.

toxicology

Like many crack fungi, the purple silky crack fungus contains muscarin . The symptoms are those of muscarinic poisoning, namely greatly increased salivation , perspiration ( sweating ), constriction of the pupils, slowed pulse and watery eyes within 15 to 30 minutes after ingestion. At high doses, these symptoms may be followed by abdominal pain , severe nausea , vomiting , diarrhea , blurred vision, and shortness of breath. The symptoms of intoxication generally subside within two hours. Delirium does not occur. The specific antidote is atropine . With the onset of symptoms promptly, induction of vomiting is also advisable to remove fungal material. Deaths due to consumption of this species are not documented. The mushroom is often ignored by mushroom pickers due to its small size.

Taxonomy

It was and is partly listed as the variety lilacina or violacea of the earth-leaved crack fungus ( Inocybe geophylla var. Lilacina or var. Violacea ). Phylogenetic genetic analyzes show a clear differentiation from Inocybe geophylla .
