Purple Knight Mushroom

Purple Knight's Fungi (also known as Blue Foot Fungi) are small to medium in size and have a flattened, rounded cap with a thick, cylindrical stipe. The hat is smooth, firm and cream colored with closely packed purple wavy gills on the underside. The stem is dense, thick and colored on the surface with deep lilac hues, but as the mushroom ages, the purple color will fade. When cooked they are very fragrant, velvety and silky in consistency and have an earthy, woody flavour.
