eat-bolete Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Please tell me it’s blewits (spore printing now). I found the most saprobic environment I could (leaves and woodchips). Very fragrant (pleasantly). Some more purple, others more beige/brownish but they all grew together. Last photo is taken indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 These look like Blewits to me. Color generally varies from purple to tan, but sometimes the caps fade to a very pale color. Good idea to get a spore print to verify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVa Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Nice EB, I'm going to look tomorrow myself. As of now they still elude me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MushroomDan Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 If none of the younger ones had veil or partial veil over the gills then I would say Blewits. Definitely spore print a bunch. Usually to me they print fast. Color of print should be off-white super light beige or buff very light pink. Great find!!! October-November is when we find them by me. The only look-alike we seen are Violet Corts. Those always have the veil or some veil over the gills when young and they print rusty brown or dark copper. They are nasty fellas.

Matt McDermott Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Good find (as long as they print right). Have not found any yet this fall. All of my normal leaf compost areas I find them in are still a no show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Nice haul of blewits imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eat-bolete Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Thanks guys. Spore print came out pretty crappy, probably due to too much rain, but color seems right. Left some behind to grow, will go back on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 That looks like a Blewit print, pale pink. Blewits are best when they're young and firm. The insects really like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
