Description
The cinnamon bracket (Hapalopilus rutilans) is a fungus that causes a white rot on dead wood. Its poisonous fruit bodies appear as brackets, and tend to grow in a dull orangish shade. A chemical reaction with ammonia, however, turns it purple. This fact can be exploited for the creation of wool dyes, with colors ranging from light lavender to deep purple.
