ChefsWild Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 No clue what this one is, though I've seen both blewits (keyed out for sure) and what I suspect are amethyst decievers locally. Flesh stains instantly a very bright violet, and the stain oozes onto fingers, too. I washed up before touching any edibles. It did not look yummy, though I could be wrong on that. Better safe than sorry, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaffD Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Dave's ID is mine as well and the same mushroom as in my display picture. This is indeed edible from my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Yup, same opinion here. although I have only found one and that was last week, but it really is caracteristic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefsWild Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I was lucky to hook up with some local mushroom folks and they demonstrated how to find and ID this species, which is actually pretty yummy as well as visually spectacular on a plate.
