The Fungi World (269) : Goatcheese Webcap

Goatcheese Webcap is a very rare fungus that stands on the Red List as almost extinct !

This species that likes to grow in coniferous woods, especially under spruce, has a very lilac to purple color when young and discolors to golden tones in aging.

This small beauty however has a disgusting smell !
Some say it smells like rotten potatoes, others say like a stinking old goat and still others like sweaty feet…..
Anyway, I was glad when the picture was ready :-))

Dutch name : Kamfergordijnzwam
German name : Bocks-Dickfuss
Latin name : Cortinarius camphoratus
