Where to look: wood blewit

About the species. Edible when correctly identified and thoroughly cooked; do not eat it raw. Several violet webcaps can look similar, and some Cortinarius species are seriously poisonous. Rusty-brown spore deposits or a cobweb-like veil are warning signs, but beginners should not use the absence of those features as proof that a mushroom is a Blewit.

Wood Blewit: the species in brief

How to tell it

Fresh specimens are violet to lilac across the cap, gills and stem, fading towards buff or brown with age. The spore print is pale rather than rusty brown. The smell is often sweet or fruity.

Where it grows

In leaf litter in broadleaved and mixed woodland, hedgerows, parks and piles of decaying leaves.

In the kitchen

Cook thoroughly. It can be fried, stewed or preserved; much of the violet colour fades during cooking.

Nutrition

Low in calories. It is valued mainly for its late season and abundance.
