Wood Blewit Toadstool

 I was very happy to find this toadstool in Craiglockart Dell alongside the Water of Leith today. It's a Wood Blewit, quite easy to recognise with it's purple colour (though there are other purple fungi).

They make good eating I believe? I've been finding some interesting fungi lately too

How exciting to discover a Wood Blewit in Craiglockart Dell! Its vibrant purple color must have been striking against the backdrop of the Water of Leith. I love how you’ve pointed out that there are other purple fungi, which adds an extra layer of intrigue to the find. It’s always a delight to stumble upon unique natural treasures during walks, especially ones that are as eye-catching as this toadstool. Thanks for sharing your discovery!
