Stomping around today and this caught my eye. The lilac hue is what drew me to it, photo doesn't do it justice.
So out with the foil, and spore print comes out whitish. EDIT - transfer to paper gives a light pinkish....which is more in character.
Lepista nuda ? - I heard something about wood blewits spreading across aus., its a first for me on the home range and appears there are a few about.

northern Tas ferret, never seen them here at home before with well over a decade on this patch, and now they have moved in.
Nice smelling buggers as well.

Lucky you! They're pretty widespread from what I've gathered, and once you've got a patch, it lasts for yonks.
I'm running a few workshops in Tassie this year...mainly Cygnet, but also Penguin and Lilydale. I've given a few free spots to members here and elsewhere, you're welcome to come along if you want-only proviso is you pipe in with tips!

yep looks like Lepista nuda
I wanna add, they really rule dried, so If you find a lot, and as they can get maggots easily in,
dont hesitate to dehydrate them! its worth it

looking very blewitty - lucky you. are we neighbours in northern tassie? i found a blewity looking thingy and was getting all excited (but it had a brown spore print) since they are cultivated in teh northern hemisphere - the sydney firm who had them in culture stopped seling them apparently. i wonder if someone has spawn left around?

Maydena railway station has a patch...some near Gardners Bay, and a promise of some from the Derwent Valley. If I get some, I'll share them for free. Big thanks to Watertrade for his genorousity.
