Great info on the differenciation between the two. Adam, I appreciate all the videos you do, no fluff, so informative. Watching your videos has made fungi grow on me, I have learned to love the fungus among us.
Thanks for the video Adam! I just found my first Blewit's(I hope???) today almost 2 years to the day since you posted this. I am still not 100% sure if they are the ones, but I am doing a spore print right now to make sure they dont have the rusty brown spore prints from the look alike Cortinarius poisonous types. I found mine on a huge leave litter, and on the bottom of the stems of the mushroom is a dark composty looking substrate with some spots of white substance that looks like it may be mycelium. I found mine in an oak forest. Didnt see any rings on them. I think I have the right ones. Thanks!
True story! I decided to watch this video just out of curiosity but hadn't really planned to look for them specifically. Ten minutes later I am talking to my son outside off the front porch stairs, I look down and see a patch of blewits. Thank you so much for your outstanding videos!
Always look you up when I need an answer about a mushroom. Your videos are always good and helpful. Plus I always get my answer from your information. Thanks your awesome
Oh man, I need to go on a walk with someone like you! I love mushrooms and there are so many on Long Island. I am a little overwhelmed by all the information needed to properly identify edible species.
Hey Adam,again your videos get it all across with no bullshit or waffle👍.Always go to you and Marlow from Wildfood uk,to help me identify anything as well as my books,thanks for all your efforts.Good hunting from England.
I have been watching your videos lately and they really help! Yesterday watched this video for the first time I think and then today I came across blewits for the 1st time in 2 separate locations. This last location was a mix of pine and cedar trees planted in rows beneath the dam here in my small Kansas town.
Hi Adam! I love your videos and have learned so much from them! Could you add a segment on Flowery Blewits, aka Lepista/Clitocybe Irina? I think I found some today while looking for regular Blewits. I did find 3 Blewits just outside a huge fairy circle of white mushrooms that I would have sworn were blewits if they weren't pure white. They smelled the same, had the same shape, size, bulbous stipe, leaf litter location, etc. But I can't find any info on them in video form except in Russian or Spanish...Yikes!
Thanks for this. I found a bunch of lookalikes recently, blewits continue to be a difficult one for me to identify. I did find my first maitake today, though! Didn't pick it, too young.
Found one earlier today, been trying to identify, bless the information. I never assumed you might already have a video, but shoulda thought to look...
Found some blewit mushies in the backyard You're video was awesome in helping me to turn in that please keep going keep up the good work thank you much
I found a group of what I have tentatively ID as Blewit. The match your discription EXCEPT I found them on a golf course in western Washington, no oaks around.
While removing leaves at work today I saw at Least 50 with honeys and aborted entoloma and even a couple chanterelles, all within a 10x10 area. Wow. Sad part is we had to hurry to the next house. Note to self for next year.
So I took photos of this mushroom cluster(s) there were more then one. They were the most beautiful mushroom I’ve seen is this Blewitt at a young stage? Wish I could attach a photo
Hi Adam! Liked your video so much! Well filmed and very helpful :) I got some Clitocybe geotropa (trooping funnel) lately but can't be 100% certain (although all characteristics match the internet and book). Would be appreciated if you can make a video to help with ID. Thank you!
You found in one hunt the 3 mushrooms which seemingly elude me. I am watching this video to help vet some blewits I finally found. I have found honey mushroom rhizomorphs, but no Maitake still. And you find them all in one video. How long did it take you to find this spot Adam Heritan?
Hello, I have watched your videos and I'm very interested in collecting wild mushrooms . I Live in central NY and recently walking around my friends property I found what I believe to be gem studded puffballs but because I am over cautious I'm afraid to try eating it. So my question to you is 1 are there any mushroom clubs in central NY that you know of that might join and 2 what is the best reference book to get to use when in the field ? Thank you Mark G.
I am struggling to identify a brown mushroom that looks like a clouded agaric, only browner. The stems are short and solid, and the spors are cream colord like the gills. There is no ring or Cortina. I am guessing it is a Clitocybe , but I can't find anything about this one. It looks kind of like a blewett , but the smaller ones look more like young button mushrooms, but more pointed on the cap. More of a rounded point. The mycelium is growing around the base of the mushrooms, that grow in small clusters, with little tiny bullets growing out of the stems at the base. They are short like blewetts. I am wondering if you have any clues. They don't seem to be growing in a ring. And there is a lot of leaf litter , shade and roots in the woods where they are growing. I tend to find them in November in Georgia. I don't see them often, but I am always keeping an eye out for them. I just have a feeling that they are edible. I don't go by a feeling. I just want to know what this is.
Its late spring here in central KY and i believe i havee found a ton of the wood blewitt. Has white spore print everything lines up except o dont see any pink or lilac color to them at all. What does that mean?
In California Blewit's also have a lookalike that has no root, still waiting a purple color, but does not display the hardiness of stem. Be careful, it is nasty tasting and slightly Poison. I know, from personal experience. I am a permanent subscriber, your advise and help if invaluable. Thant you.
This year sucked big time in southern Ontario. We had no rain for sept and Oct. Its halloween tommorow, ive been out all week and hardly found anything. Bummed me out. Poor farmers too.
So do these have psilocybin in them because I found some.... I'm sure I can't be that lucky. 🍀 I searched the internet but no information as far as yes or no on whether they contain psilocybin. So I'm assuming it's a no but gotta check
How did you learn about what mushrooms you could pick and eat and which ones would kill you? Would love to be able to find and pick wild mushrooms but I'm really scared I'll mess up and die. I checked out the website and there seems to be a local class during work hours so that doesn't work. Is there a good book or advice you can provide? Subscribed!
Is it possible for the spore print be a light beige/tan? I found what I believe to be blewits in my yard and everything matches up except the pink spore print. I did pick them after a rain so maybe the moisture muddied up the color
would you consider grand fir foliage hardwood leaves? thats where im finding them, unless its a different mushrrom. ive done a spore print but its my first one sooooo. no worries im not eating anything,
Hey Adam! Have you been out for these this year? I found some a couple weeks ago and I've been finding them, but they're all old and no new ones are growing where I'm at in PA. Do you think there will be any more or has the frost and cold temperature stopped them? Thanks!
Hey! I just saw a bunch of fresh ones two days ago. It's getting later in the season for them, though it's not over by any means. It's been rainy and warm here in SW PA... and the blewits seem to like this.
Learn Your Land Hopefully t some point this week I'll be able to go to the mountains or something. I thought yesterday's storms might have brought some fungi.
Has anyone ever seen a white blewit? I have plenty of purple ones, but there are also white one very similar to the purple ones. They even smell the same, just not the same color.
i ALWAYS take that home-the mycelium & plant in "LIKE CONDITIONS". *ALWAYS!* All FUNGI that i believe to be MEDICINAL/EDIBLE *_thanks Adam_* i TRUST YOUR *KNOWLEDGE and THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING with US*
Hey I was out mushroom hunting today and i ran into some that the flesh of it was a pretty lavender color where the bugs had eaten through the white cap. Can the blewits get this lavender color in the meat of it like that? Because I cannot figure out what they were. I'm not eating them so don't worry because I didn't know but I am trying to figure it out. Man i would love to go exploring with you in the woods I could learn a ton lol. Anyhow thanks.
Since no one answered you... yes I have found blewits and they were purple all the way through but as they age they loose their color! Hope that helps!
I found some Blewits today. It is light purple to brown on the top and lilac purple on gills and stem when they are young. But when it is old, gill and stem become brown. It does grow on the ground with white fungi soil with ball end on the stem. it does not have net with it. I am pretty sure it is Blewit. However, when I cooked it, I feel it tastes a little bit bitter. So I am wondering whether I have the blewit. Can you comment? I only tasted 2 small ones.
And maybe it's just me but I can smell them when I get close! My kids even laughed at 1st but then about 5 feet away we found some so now my kids believe me when I say I can smell them! Lol
Can I be your email buddy? I'm a novice mushroom Hunter and am fascinated with identifying species and use. I want someone knowledgeable in the field for my mushroom questions!
I find you both adorable and ridiculously helpful.

Just got into foraging this summer and it has been great to have these educational videos to learn from. Thank you!

Hope you didnt get sick
Blewits don't generally make people sick usually.

I love mushrooms and there are so many on Long Island.
I am a little overwhelmed by all the information needed to properly identify edible species.
I have had very good luck in finding these. I often find these buried under a think layer of pine needles.
Yes you are the perfect vehicle to take this awesome passion you have for nature world wide. You know
Hey Adam,again your videos get it all across with no bullshit or waffle👍.Always go to you and Marlow from Wildfood uk,to help me identify anything as well as my books,thanks for all your efforts.Good hunting from England.
Don’t forget that there are field blewits also which are easier to id since they have a purple stem and it grows in the fields
That must have been a rewarding meal, Blewits, Hens and Honeys!!!
you are always me go to guide, thank you bunches. you are awesome and explain things simply. Keep up the fantastic work. :)

Had a huge haul of these and enoki today!

I've only found these once and I almost left them behind because I didn't know them.
They are my favourite eater to date
I found some today too in the leaves around wood. In oak woods. First time trying
I found a group of what I have tentatively ID as Blewit. The match your discription EXCEPT I found them on a golf course in western Washington, no oaks around.
Hey Adam, do you ever forage for lepista Irina? Would love to see a video about them!! You're the man! Love all your content!
Blewitts are my favorite and it's almost time for them.
I think I found one under an Alaskan Cedar here in the PNW. I'll do a spore print tonight if it's still there.
While removing leaves at work today I saw at Least 50 with honeys and aborted entoloma and even a couple chanterelles, all within a 10x10 area. Wow. Sad part is we had to hurry to the next house.
Note to self for next year.
The title/name are so suggestive.
I do my best!
Thank you. Found 2 lb of Blewit in NJ last weekend. October 2020. Best way to prepare them for consumption at home?
So I took photos of this mushroom cluster(s) there were more then one. They were the most beautiful mushroom I’ve seen is this Blewitt at a young stage? Wish I could attach a photo
Hi. The Tan Mushroom's beside the Hen of the Wood's. Are they Honey Mushroom's? Thank you. :)

You do a great job man. If you ever get the chance, the next one on my list is fried chicken mushroom.
I have so many growing in my yard but I can't find out if that's what they are for sure 🤔🤨🧐😏😒

If it's Halloween you should be looking for Witches' Butter (Tremella mesenterica), although I don't think it's really edible

Do Blewits have a volva? I found a large purple mushroom with volva in compost heap
Have never hunted these illhave to keep an eye out
I thought the mycelium webby stuff indicated the poisonous one

Turning her over and finding a "rusty brown ring" reminds of another occasion 🤣.

This mushroom is probably not for the beginner.

Get a book! Its honestly the best way to learn on your own time
When it gets cooler will I find mushrooms that aren't wormy? So sick of finding a mess of choice and they are all full of worms 🤬
Will these make u trip?
