Map

Where to look: field blewit

A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.

About the species. Edible when correctly identified and thoroughly cooked. Do not eat it raw. Because it often grows in pasture and other open ground, avoid visibly contaminated, heavily treated or roadside sites.

Field Blewit: the species in brief

How to tell it

A pale buff to greyish cap on a thick lilac or violet stem. The contrast between the pale cap and coloured stem is characteristic, but should not be used as the only identification feature.

Where it grows

On pasture, downland, grassy commons, garden edges and other open, nutrient-rich ground.

In the kitchen

Cook thoroughly. The flesh is firm and works well fried, stewed or preserved.

Nutrition

Low in calories with a modest protein content.
