The Bluefoot Mushrooms is a cultivated cousin of the wild Wood Blewit mushroom. Bluefoot have a very firm texture on a wonderful lilac coloring on the stem of the mushroom (which loses color through cooking). Bluefoot are great in sauces and stews and hold up well to sauteing due to their firm fibrous texture.
Bluefoot mushrooms are grown in France and are available year-round.
