Cystolepiota bucknallii

About

Cystolepiota bucknallii is a species of basidiomycete fungus of the genus Cystolepiota. Found throughout Europe, it is a rare fungus occurring in deciduous forests. The small fruit bodies bear a distinctive smell of coal gas and appear in autumn on damp ground. It is not an edible mushroom.

How to use it

While the lilac dapperling is not edible, it plays a role in its ecosystem by decomposing organic matter in deciduous forests. This helps recycle nutrients back into the soil, supporting the growth of other plants and fungi.
