2/2 Mit zunehmendem Alter verändert sich die Hutfarbe, wobei Gelb-, Ocker- und Brauntöne die Violetttöne überwiegen. Geruch eher unangenehm.
Womöglich (!) handelt es sich um den bunten Klumpfuß (Cortinarius dibaphus), 40% KOH-Testung steht aber noch aus.

Ein Schleierling (Cortinarius spec.) aus der Familie der Schleierlingsverwandten (Cortinariaceae), mit dicker Schleimschicht auf Hut und Cortina. Jung Farbgebung hauptsächlich in lila-violett-Tönen. In Mischwald, jedoch Nadelbäume (Weißtanne und Fichte) vorherrschend. Rotbraunes Sporenpulver. 1/2
