Lepista nuda
This mushroom is found amongst leaf litter in deciduous and mixed woodland, also occasionally under hedgerows, in permanent pasture and on compost heaps. It is sometimes seen growing in circles, known as ‘fairy rings’.
Lepista is derived from the Latin meaning goblet, and is a reference to the concave, funnel-shaped caps seen in mature specimens of this fungus.
May be confused with the Field blewit Lepista saeva which has a violet-blue coloured stem, but which does not have the same colouring to the gills or the cap. The Goatcheese webcap Cortinarius camphoratus is similar in certain respects, although rare. The Bruising webcap, Cortinarius purpurascens shares the purple-brown cap, purple stem and gills, but may be distinguished by its markedly-swollen stem base and the rust colour left by the spores on its gills.
