Gray (Phallales, Gomphaceae) Fruit-body: consists of cap-like and stem-like parts, often more fruit-bodies growing together. Cap: 6-12 cm diameter, convex when young, later flattening, finally becoming unevenly expanded, funnel-shaped. Margin wavy-wrinkled. Its colour at first violet, later ochraceous brown with lilac tint. Surface crumpled, wrinkled, with fine, velvety touch. Hymenium: decurrent, thick, wrinkled, veiny, often anastomosing, lilacviolet when young, then with ochraceous brown tint. Stem: short, tapering downwards, pale lilac, whitish at base. Flesh: white, thick, tough. Scent is not obvious or pleasant, taste mild, slightly sour. Life-strategy: mycorrhiza (under Fagus sylvatica, Abies alba, Picea abies). Occurrences in Hungary, habitats: July-August, acidic deciduous woods, pine forests. Distribution, frequency: Very rare in Hungary, and infrequent in other parts of Europe in montane, subalpine elevations, where it grows in mixed forests. Known from North America and Asia (KRIEGLSTEINER 2000). Hungarian red list category: 1. Justification: Endangered because of the decline and degradation of its habitat, eutrophication of forest soils, climatic change, inappropriate forestry practices. From the 1980s its populations apparently becoming extinct from several countries of Europe (KRIEGLSTEINER 2000). The striking edible mushroom of special colour draws people's attention. Listed in the proposal for protection of fungi in European level of the European Council for Conservation of Fungi (DAHLBERG and CRONEBORG 2003).
