As most of my Buzzard Buddies know, I'm not a great fan of mushrooms, I think they're over rated, they steal the limelight from other more worthy forageable contenders and they all taste like feet.
I do however like finding them but I'm not as good at identifying them as I would be with plants and seaweeds.
This one however I'm pretty sure is a wood blewit, the colour, smell and cap shape are pretty obvious give aways.
I do love the bluey purpley colour of it and they were quite numerous in this new wee forest we found.
Quite a distinct fungi amd although I know they're edible I also know they can cause allergic reactions in some people, so personally I'll bring them home for a friend who does like a nibble on them but me, I'll be happy with a nice plump pheasant!!
