Laccaria ochropurpurea is a species of fungus. The pinkish to yellowish cap ranges from 4–13 centimetres (1+1⁄2–5 in) wide and the stipe from 5–19 cm (2–7+1⁄2 in) long.[1] The gills are purple and the spore print is white.[2] It can resemble species such as L. trullisata (found in sand), Cortinarius torvus, and C. lucorum.[2]
Found under hardwood and conifers east of the Rocky Mountains from July to October,[2] L. ochropurpurea produces an edible mushroom.[3][4]
