Extract from Wikipedia article: Clitocybe nuda, commonly known as the wood blewit and alternately described as Lepista nuda, is an edible mushroom native to Europe and North America. Described by Pierre Bulliard in 1790, it was also known as Tricholoma nudum for many years. It is found in both coniferous and deciduous woodlands. It is a fairly distinctive mushroom that is widely eaten, though there is some caution about edibility. Nevertheless, it has been cultivated in Britain, the Netherlands and France.
Lepista nuda is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. It is commonly known as the blewit or wood blewit. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Lepista nuda typically fruits from late summer to early winter, often in groups or clusters on rich soil, humus, or leaf litter in deciduous and mixed forests. The cap is 3-8 cm in diameter, convex to flat, and ranges in color from lilac to purple-brown. The gills are crowded, pinkish-lilac, and adnate to emarginate. The stem is 3-7 cm long, 0.5-1.5 cm thick, and has a ring or annulus that may disappear with age. Lepista nuda is considered edible and is prized for its sweet, earthy flavor and firm texture. It can be found in urban parks and forests, as well as in rural areas, and is often associated with deciduous tree species such as birch, alder, and willow.
