Wow! Not edible but still purple.

The Rare Violet Pouch Fungus – New Zealand’s Purple Treasure 🌿🍄💜

Deep within New Zealand’s native forests lies one of the country’s most striking natural wonders – the Violet Pouch Fungus (Cortinarius porphyroideus). Endemic to Aotearoa, this rare mushroom is instantly recognisable for its vibrant purple hue, from its pouch-like fruiting body to its delicate gills. Its jewel-like colour makes it one of the most beautiful fungi found in the wild.

The Violet Pouch Fungus grows in symbiosis with native trees such as beech and mānuka, helping to recycle nutrients in the soil and sustaining forest ecosystems. While it is not edible — and should never be foraged for food — its true value lies in its ecological role. Scientists study fungi like this to better understand the health of native forests, as their presence often indicates strong, balanced ecosystems.

Culturally, the Violet Pouch Fungus is admired for its rarity and beauty, and it is increasingly celebrated by photographers, conservationists, and nature lovers. Protecting it means protecting the unique forest habitats of New Zealand.

This purple gem reminds us that not all treasures come with wings or fur — some hide quietly in the undergrowth, dazzling those lucky enough to find them.
