Red Juice-Mushroom.Fig. 2.
(Hygrophorus conicus.)482.
This truly handsome fungus is common in pastures and roadsides. It turns purple-black when bruised, broken, or old, and it has a strong and very forbidding odour.
It is of a succulent substance, and is not unfrequently a brilliant yellow or deep orange, in place of crimson or scarlet.
