Camphor cobweb (Cortinarius camphoratus)

tranon-kalamby (Ny t. A camphorated curtain) is a poisonous mushroom of the genus Cobweb (lat. Cortinarius).

Satroka:

6-12 cm in diameter, fleshy (slightly less textured compared to other purple cobwebs of this class), the color is quite variable – young healthy specimens stand out with a lilac center and purple edging, but the colors somehow mix with age. The shape is initially hemispherical, compact, later it opens, usually maintaining the correct shape. The surface is dry, velvety fibrous. The flesh is dense, of an indefinite rusty-brown color, with a rather characteristic musty smell, reminiscent (according to the literature) of rotting potatoes.

Firaketana:

Grown with a tooth, in youth, for a very short time – the color of the center of the cap (vaguely purple), then, as the spores mature, take on a rusty hue. As usual, in young specimens, the spore-bearing layer is covered with a webbed veil.

vovoka spora:

Volontany harafesina.

Tongotra:

Quite thick (1-2 cm in diameter), cylindrical, widened at the base, although usually without the hypertrophied tuber appearance characteristic of many similar species. The surface is bluish-violet, the color of the edges of the cap, with a slightly pronounced longitudinal scaly and not always visible strip-like remains of cortina.

Mihanaka:

Cobweb camphor comes across in deciduous and coniferous forests from the end of August somewhere to the beginning of October, infrequently, but in large groups. It bears fruit, as far as I can tell, steadily, year after year.

Karazana mitovy:

In similar species, you can add all cobwebs that have purple colors in their arsenal. In particular, these are white-violet (Cortinarius alboviolaceus), goat (Cortinarius traganus), silver (Cortinarius argentatus), and others, including Cortinarius sailor, for which there was no name. Due to the wide variability of colors and shapes, there are no clear formal signs to distinguish “one from the other”; we can only say that the camphor cobweb stands out from a number of fellows with a less massive structure and a more unpleasant odor. In any case, only a microscopic, or even better, genetic study can give full confidence here. I don’t like cobwebs.

azo hanina:

Apparently missing.
