Lepiota lilacea is a species of fungus belonging to the family Agaricaceae.[1] It was first described in Italy, in 1893, by Giacomo Bresadora, in his book Fungi Tridentini. [2][3]

It is characterised by its small cap (up to 36 mm broad), with a dark purple disc, and its distinct annulus. Its spores do not turn reddish-brown under Melzer's reagent (are non-dextrinoid).[4]

It is poisonous to humans.[5][6]

It is native to Europe and America.[1]
