That_Guy Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 It’s a little early to be seeing wood blewits here in Southern Ontario, according to my field guide. But they look very similar. They have distinctive purplish colour to the cap, with some tan/bronze tinges. Cap is quite firm, and rolled-in at the edge, stem gets bigger at the base. Gills appear to be free, but could be narrowly attached, it’s hard to see, gills are whitish/buff colour. Veil is like cobwebs, still attached in some places. Flesh is white, but slightly yellowing in some places. Smells like acorns, taste like it smells, but mild. Growing in the ground under oak trees, aspen, and birch. Waiting on spore print, will update later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamilleR Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 No. Blewits don't have a veil. This is a Cortinarius with a cobweb veil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
