Purple Mushroom?

Hi Woo,

They look like Blewits, if they are, then they are prized edibles.

Don't eat one yet, can you cut the stem off one & put it gill side down on a piece of white paper.

It will make a spore print over night, then we can see what colour that is.

In the meantime, i'll go thru the book and check any possible confusion with others.

 

Had a look thru, your pics are identical to my pics of Lepista Nuda, the wood blewit.

We'll know if it has a pink spore print.

 

Can't beat a weird mushroom.

I found a Stinkhorn Fungus on my oak stump a couple of years ago, looked quite rude :D

 

The stinkhorn, proof that God has a sense of humour.

 

Good Morning Woo,

Thats odd, were looking for a pale pink. If there is not a rusty brown print, then thats a good sign.

Have a look in the sunlight with a magnifying glass, it should have left something.

Im off to the woods now, see what I can find.

 

Hi Woo,

Sorry, lost me internet connection.

Don't eat it if its rusty brown, could be a cortinarius.
