Notes: A moderately large, fleshy Phlegmacium that we at first thought was C. alboviolaceus because of its light, silvery purplish-gray cap and thick, whitish stalk. However, upon handling the specimens showed strikingly bright purple discoloration in all parts of the fruitbody – cap and stem surface, flesh, gills (the pictures don’t do it justice because we thought it was C. alboviolaceous when taking them).
It grew in a floodland mossy birch forest in scattered groups.
