Wood blewit mushroom (pied bleu)

The wood blewit can be readily recognized among thousands of mushrooms! Its vivid purple colour and beautiful mushroom shape lend this mushroom a stunning appearance.

Although it can’t be eaten raw, after heating it can be used to prepare the most delicious dishes. Fry the wood blewit mushroom with an onion and some garlic: its pronounced, strong flavour will then come perfectly into its own! This mushroom is also a highly tasty addition to game dishes and stews.
