Clitocybe nuda
Edible mushroom. This mushroom can range from lilac to purple-pink. Some specimens are duller and tend toward tan, but usually have purplish tones on the stem and gills. The gills are adnates and attached to the short, stout stem. Mature specimens have a darker color and flatter cap; younger ones are lighter with more convex caps. Wood blewits are very aromatic, with a fruity flavour. The taste is sweet and agreeable. Wood blewits have white to pale pink spore print
