C.Nuda or Cortrinarius?

Found these guys growing in abundance after 6 days rain...
I've never picked Blewits before so not %100 on them. The fact that gills aren't purple makes me wonder...
Cap: specimens range from 2-15cm. perfectly purple in buttons, more of a dull purple in larger specimen.
Gills, most had brownish gills as you will see from the pics, veiled in button stage
stem: 5-15cm long, purple, veil remnants
bruising a marbled purplish brownish whiteish...
scent non-descript
spore print pending

They look very blewit like to me. If the spore print is brown well there corts. but I use to collect them religously after rains and they look like it to me. There good fried in a nice beer batter with pepper.

if you've never eaten blewits before try a small portion the first day without any other wild mushroom, this is the best way to test if you have a blewit allergy

Thanks...having never picked them before, I imagined them to be larger for some reason...

rev0kadavur found and prepared some while i was over at their house once. no one their had eaten it before so even though we had more wild mushrooms to eat that night, we saved them for the next day to test or palates out.

But IM not 100 % though wait for the spore print befor eating them, I can't get the enlarger thing on here to work for me but the one with you thum in it looks like it has posibly a cortinia which is a spider web looking vail. In the younge courts it is very notcaable.

Yes they do grow together but blewits grow in a striaght ark or a large ferry ring although I have found them solitary they are usually assceaated with alot of under burden. Like leaves and twigs and just alot of decomposing organic debri. I have found them on a bunch of roting nes papers once. Corts are more mycorrhzal having a host tree nearby.. Corts tend to grow here and there and not so much in ark but in little patches. That is what I have notced about the two. Im hopping to go out this weekend for my fall blewit hunt.

^^In this picture they look the most like blewits. The other pics are confusing... maybe its just that they look kinda haggard in comparison to ones I have found... the stipes look like corts that I have found... i wish the pics were sharper.

I think #1 and #4 are blewits and the rest are corts...1 and 3 were water logged and gross so I didn't take them home...

what is the best way to distinguish between corts and blewits in the field? combo of gill colour and growth pattern? ie, in an ark or ring with purple gills is most likely blewits, whereas clustered with brownish gills most likely corts?

I agree, those are the most likely to be blewits. #5 might be too, if I could see the top of the cap and the side of the stem then I could say for sure.

These are from my Private Blewit Patch that I have been propagating around the property here... paler specimens, but still blew~
The feature that catches my eye when I see a blewit is the cap texture... I have related that to its name, Clitocybe Nuda... the texture looks similar to the texture of soft flesh, though purplish.. Looks like some giant naked Clitoris.... That texture in combination with the general shape and structure of the mushroom... these really show off their shape. Usually find them in healthy tree duff under tall canopy's of oak around here. Can't say I have seen them anywhere else yet, always under oaks when I find them... Valley and Live Oak to be specific. They are usually in numbers, scattered in groups... I have noticed that I usually find them growing with Corts under Live Oak.
