Wood blewits?
    #22355477 - 10/09/15 05:20 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I believe these are wood blewits. I've ruled out Cortinarius because these have a white spore print. What else could they be?

Habitat: Forest floor in northern Switzerland.
Gills: lilac / purple, crowded, detached.
Stem: Stout; pale lilac with darker purple tracery over towards the bottom.
Cap: 6-8 cm diameter pale cream to light brown in centre. flattened domes, with one specimen cracking radially.
Spore print color: White

Seems logical to me. Let's see what someone else with more experience ID'ing this species has to say.

Are you sure the spore print is white? It should be lilac.

Indeed - I've looked again after a night of spore dropping and they're definitely off-white in a direction not inconsistent with lilac - maybe pale salmon. In this photo there are the spore prints below, wrt armillaria above, which is definitely white. What do you think?

I think they are blewits. The only thing that put me off, is that I've never seen the cap cracking like the specimen on the right.

Did u eat those? They Don look like blewits to me not sure tho



Some I found this yr

They have no veil, bulbous base, notched gill attachment, smell fruity good, fade from purple to brown due to being exposed to light. I've found nice big specimens hiding under a pine still purple. If they were out in the open they'd have been cacki brown

Look like Blewits to me, one of my favorite cold weather fungi to pick too.

They are a Lepista species but have sone characteristics that seem unusual. Lepista nuda never cracks on the edge and nor do saeva or sordida.
