FOTD #091 : spotted cort! (cortinarius iodes)
the spotted cort (also viscid violet cort) is an agaric fungus in the family cortinariaceae :-) it occurs in many different areas of north america, south america, central america & northern asia. this mushroom mostly forms associations with deciduous trees !!
the big question : can i bite it??
it is technically edible, yes - but "not recommended for consumption".
c. iodes description :
"the cap is initially bell-shaped before becoming broadly convex & then flat in maturity (sometimes retaining a broad umbo), & attains a diameter of 2–6 cm (0.8–2.4 in). the cap surface is slimy (in wet weather) & smooth, & has a lilac or purplish colour. the flesh is white, firm, & thin. the colour fades in maturity, & the cap develops irregular yellowish spots, or becomes yellowish in the centre. gills are attached to the stem & packed together closely. they are lilac to violet when young, but become rusty brown to greyish cinnamon when the spores mature. the stem measures 4–7 cm (1.6–2.8 in) long by 0.5–1.5 cm (0.2–0.6 in) thick, & is nearly equal in width throughout other than a somewhat bulbous base. it is solid (i.e., not hollow), slimy, smooth, & has violet or purplish colours that are usually lighter than the cap; sometimes, the stem base is more or less white. the cobweb-like, pale violet partial veil leaves a zone of thin, purple or rusty fibers on the upper stem."

Best Acoustic Baritone Guitar for the Money [2022 Reviews]
Standard guitars can't go where a baritone guitar can. The acoustic baritones provide a powerful sound that can fill a whole room because of their longer scale length, heavier bodies, and stronger internal bracing. Additionally, you can make a baritone guitar sound exactly like a conventional guitar by using a capo, so you can still easily play many well-known songs. You should read the post below from Jacob Golden about five suggestions for the best acoustic baritone guitar to learn about and make your decision quickly.
