Extract from Wikipedia article: Mycena pura, commonly known as the lilac bonnet, is a species of mushroom in the family Mycenaceae. First called Agaricus prunus in 1794 by Christian Hendrik Persoon, it was assigned its current name in 1871 by German Paul Kummer. Mycena pura is known to bioaccumulate the element boron.
Mycena pura is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped cap that ranges in color from pale lilac to brownish-pink. It has a slender stem and white gills. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Mycena pura typically grows in moist, wooded areas, often on decaying wood or plant debris. Fruitings occur from late summer to early autumn, with a peak in September. The species is considered common in the region, particularly in coniferous and mixed forests, where it can be found growing solitary or in small groups.
