If this be death, it sure be tasty!

Let me just take a moment to say, "Mmmm... Blewit stroganoff."

Quite tasty and purple.

Yes, I'm eating strange purple mushrooms I found growing on the ground.
No, you shouldn't worry. There is absolutely nothing else these could possibly be but blewits. They're one of the easiest mushrooms for a novice to identify. Plus I ate one last night as a test to make sure I had no adverse reactions and I found them to be delicious. :) Sort of very slightly mushroomy with a kind of chicken-fried-steak flavor and a nice texture.

Definitely will eat these again. :)

So, aside from some really dumb wordplay about "but they're purple, not blew," where does the name "blewit" originate?

Per wikipedia, "Blue hat" -> "Blewit"
Perhaps the definition of color has changed in the past four hundred years.

Perhaps the Blewits weren't the first ones consumed. ;p
