The Fungi World (233) : Golden Bootleg

Golden Bootleg is a rare fungus with a strong odour of bitter almonds.

It’s an attractive apparition in the autumn forest, but unfortunately stands worldwide on the Red List as vulnerable (except for Alaska where it can be found abundant)

Mildly toxic.

Dutch name : Goudhoed
German name : Goldfarbener Glimmerschüppling
Latin name : Phaeolepiota aurea

Bottom right, you can see the birth of an Amethyst Deceiver (Amethistzwam / Violetter Lacktrichterling / Laccaria amethystea).
See picture below for a mature specimen.
