Cortinarius lilacinus. Pk.
The Lilac-Colored Cortinarius. Edible.
The pileus is two to three inches broad, firm, hemispherical, then convex, minutely silky, lilac-color.
The gills are close, lilac, then cinnamon.

I have found this plant in but one place near Chillicothe. In Poke Hollow on a north hillside I have found a number of rare specimens. All were identified by Dr. Kauffman of Michigan University. All were found under beech trees within a very small radius. September and October.
