Blewit (Clitocybe nuda) is an eye-catching mushroom that produces smooth, medium-to-large lilac caps. When cooked, they have a meaty texture that is quite satisfying. Their delicious flavor is mild but distinct, often described as mushroomy and woody with a hint of pepper.
Blewit mushroom yields can be somewhat unpredictable, and they can pose some minor challenges with identification. Therefore, they are not ideal for first-time cultivators or those unfamiliar with how to properly identify different mushroom species. However, they can be quite rewarding to more experienced growers.
Recommended use:
- Blewit sawdust spawn is only recommended for outdoor beds and top-fruiting containers.
- Blewit sawdust spawn must combined with a substrate (like woody debris) in order to fruit.
- Please note: Blewit mushrooms do not grow on logs.
Upon receiving your spawn:
Remove it from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive!
