I love your videos guys 💖 i have always find them under elm trees and in graveyards, found some today though that had extra growing ontop of the caps so will do a spore test to see!
Wonderful video. Very informative. I feel confident that i have discovered these mushrooms and am returning today to gather them and do spore prints. They look delicious to eat. Thank you
Thank you for this video it's so helpful. I found a blewit in my garden and I couldn't understand why it was brown..it looked exactly like the old one you found.. mystery solved! I hope more grow, really want to try them now!
some can be very tan and the "lilac" is almost whitish. in that case it's better to discard them cuz there're sister species that look really alike and produce spore prints of the same color 😀
@@OldManoftheWoods I have some growing from a black pine, it really seems to match with blewits but it's never got any purple so I just keep.lesving them alone... but this one tree produces alot! I'd sure like to ID them
I'm doing some research to ID the mushrooms I found today. They meet all the criteria for Blewits EXCEPT I found them in the lawn at a golf course, not in the woods. I'm in western Washington.
I have a stupid amount of blewits growing in the garden outside my apartment. Kinda cool that I can eat them if money gets so tight that I can't afford food. I'll just have to get to them before the slugs and snails do.
I found these while working in a yard last fall under cedars and pines. They were all young, but we trampled on them while blowing leaves. I plan on checking that house in the next few days and weeks. Right now it's Honeys and still some Maitake. Thanx for your info!
To me, blewits have a sweet citrus smell, like concentrated orange juice before you mix it in water. Sometimes they remind me of those jelly candy orange slices. The scent is stronger or milder depending on the age. Field blewits are usually stronger than forest blewits
i blew it found a 2 or 3 kg bunch of blewit mushrooms yesterday i prepared them with leek and shorama with chickenherbs and rice i always thank god what he gave me to eat.
I wish we had so many mushroom species in Republic of Georgia, the best we've got are Caeser's , boletes and some endemic and delicious honeys.You guys are lucky.
Very interesting, it is like treasure hunting, btw is it safe to touch any wild mushroom by hands? I mean that won't it be that any mushroom poisonous to be touched?
Great video, I have been finding these but have not eaten yet due to my fear of the few imposters. Do you have any information to share on the possible look a likes?
Glad to know you found so many blewits! Several look alikes I can think of are from the Cortinarius family, such as Cortinarius traganus and Cortinarius camphoratus (generally regarded as inedible), and Laccaria ochropurpurea (edible, see 6:00 on my other video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2jsIf_0_1eA.html). Be sure to check the color of the fruit body, spore sprint, (Cort has rusty brown spore prints but blewit is tan to pinkish), location and in this case the unique aroma. Its look-alikes won't posse all the same features.
You can help ID the mushroom this way, it looks cool, it's also a VERY easy and valuable way to obtain spores to grow more on your own or help spread them around the wild.
I live in Connecticut right outside NYC. I’m hoping to find psilocybe ovoideocystidiata. If I can’t i plan on buying a spore print and inoculating some wet lands at my mothers new house👍. At her old house we used to pick lots of black trumpets.
The one in the video is wood blewit. I guess you were talking about field blewit? The latter is more likely to appear in grass and I haven't seen any here on the East coast.
Old Man of the Woods no it's the wood blewit and it's usually around clouded agarics and it's on the grassy hills where there's gorse bushes where i am
just a quick note on cooking garlic...if you don't let the crushed garlic oxidize for at least 15 minutes you are not getting hardly any, if at all, of the nutritional value from it. Garlic needs to be crushed and let sit for at least 15 minutes. Then you can cook it however you want and you will still get all the health benefits. It's the first thing I do when I cook...crush the garlic and let it sit out while I prepare everything else. Great video!
@@zekehorton8545 yeah its a shame its nice to think of garlic as medicinal. i regret being so aggressive in my first comment though i guess i was having a bad day
@@lepistanuda good recovery man, you weren't so hateful, since you questioned it I did too, now we both learned something, it was a good deal for me atleast. Cheers
