Nice post! We can easily conceptualize that mushroom foraging can be dangerous due to lookalikes, but it's far more satisfying to have a solid example of lookalikes, like this post. Furthermore, these poisonous shrooms like to live with their lookalikes and have the same purplish spores.... even look similar under a microscope!

Absolutely - it's easy enough to talk about confusing lookalikes, but it's rarer to be able to point out the perfect example.
