Letter: All mushrooms are fungi, but not all fungi are mushrooms

Marie Freeman writes:
Definition fungi or mushroom is complicated one but all mushrooms are fungi. To me, there's nothing much more complex than the world of fungus...mushrooms. Interesting enough our DNA is closer to fungi than any other plant. Likely in the photo: Blewit (common name) Clitocybe nuda
I am no expert by any means just a hobbyist. It's called blewit because of the blue tinge, purple tinge to the mushroom. You caught this young and fresh because as they get older they lose that coloring. May also have a sweet odor to it. The great world of fungus. Now that we're finally getting some rain perhaps we'll see more. As always with fungus, it is an assumption, not a definite. Proceed with caution. https://www.mushroomexpert.com/clitocybe_nuda.html
