Entoloma virescens

Aceh, Indonesia

It's called Skyblue Pinkgill. It's a mushroom with a bright blue color throughout, both the cap and stem. Its Latin name is Entoloma virescens. This mushroom also has gills on the underside of the cap, and I found it growing directly on the ground among dry leaves.

It's small, with a stem only about 3 cm long. However, I didn't find many of them, only one at a time. This means this type of mushroom is rare in our area. I accidentally found it among dry leaves and took a macro photo of it, and the gills are clearly visible.

Interesting and quite beautiful with that color. I wouldn't think it is edible?
