The Wood Blewit (Lepista nuda or Clitocybe nuda) is a striking and edible wild mushroom often found in leaf litter from autumn into winter, especially after temperatures drop. Its cap begins a blue-purple colour but turns russet brown as it matures. The crowded gills and robust, fibrous stem also display a lilac hue. Wood Blewits have a meaty texture and a strong, perfumed, sometimes floral scent. They thrive in woodlands and are sometimes found growing in “fairy rings.”
