Tylopilus plumbeoviolaceus fungi

Tylopilus Plumbeoviolaceus

Glomalin, a by-product from mycorrhizal fungi, can capture and store carbon in the soil, removing it from the atmosphere which can help control climate change. Is Tylopilus Plumbeoviolaceus edible? Is Tylopilus Plumbeoviolaceus safe? The answer to both questions is no, so stay away. First described in 1936, the mushroom has a disjunct distribution, and is distributed in eastern North America and Korea. The fruit bodies of the fungus are violet when young, but fade into a chocolate brown color when mature. They are solid and relatively large—cap diameter up to 15 cm (5.9 in), with a white pore surface that later turns pink, and a white mycelium at the base of the stem.
