flowntheloop's Identifications

Habitat: Found in soil near a pine forest area.
Notes: Cap, stem, and gills are all clearly white. Gills appear to nearly touch the stipe. Pileal surface has some white warts/patches, which could suggest a previous presence of a veil. Veils are very common in the Amanita genus. White spore print, which is typical of the Amanita genus.

Habitat: Fruiting body found in a hardwood and pine forest.
Notes: The fruiting body has a noticeably blue pileus and stipe, but the gills are more purplish. When cut, the gills did not leak latex, indicating that this species is not Lactarius indigo. There was evidence of a previous rusty cortina on the margin of the cap, which is a signature of the Cortinarius genus. Upon investigating macroscopic features, the mushroom appeared to be similar to C. alboviolaceus, but I wasn't completely sure.

The undulations are hollow and will break fairly easily. Growing on what I believe is a dead hardwood. No obvious parasitism going on. No discernable odor. First micrograph at 400x (1div=2μm) showing septate 4-spored basidia. Second micrograph at 1000x (1div=1μm) showing clamp connections?
