UK Blewits in March !!!???
    #5399419 - 03/14/06 02:27 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I was just installing a new vent on the side of my parents house (birds had got in to build a nest) and spotted a bunch of mushrooms growing in a sheltered area on leaf litter!

On close inspection they look just like Blewits that I've picked many times before in the woods apart from they don't have that sweet, perfumey smell that I associate with Blewits  :confused:

There's no sign of a cortina but I'm taking spore prints now just to rule out the possibility of them being Cortinarius.

It'll be strange if they are Blewits, they normally disappear around December time here.

Hmmmmmmm...

Interesting.. You sure they aren't Laccarias? Got any pics?

No pics unfortunately.

They're definitely not Laccaria. I often pick L. amethystea and L. laccata to dry out and throw in stews.

Managed to ID them even though they haven't dropped any spores yet  :smile:

They're Inocybe geophylla var. lilacina, the smell of green corn gave them away plus they don't stain with KOH.

Strange as they don't look anything like the specimens I've seen online or in books with the conical caps with obvious umbos plus there was no sign of a cortina :crazy:

The circled mushroom in the pic below looks more like the specimens I have.



Well, I've learnt something today.

Good job I didn't eat them lolzz  :tongue:
