The Fungi World (134) : Cortinarius vibratilis

Cortinarius vibratilis (no English name exists) is a rare fungus standing on the Red List of vulnerable and threatened species !

Its slimy rusty-brown cap is edible, but beware : this is probably the most bitterly tasting fungus on earth !
The picture shows the last stage of its life, just before dying.

Dutch name : Gele Galgordijnzwam
German name : Bitterster Schleimfuss
Latin name : Cortinarius vibratilis

    I was thinking the same thing as Bryan - looks as if it is melting, looks as if it is quite soft and slimy. How do you find these rare ones, Mark !!!! A great capture with the tiny visitor, fine light, sharpness and colours.
    greetings, Adele

    It almost looks like molten wax in this part of its life. Stunning shot Mark, Very well done catching that little insect so clearly too
