Keeps several days in a paper bag in the fridge. It is too watery to dry well, so freeze it cooked, as cooked-and-frozen blewits hold up better than raw, or preserve it pickled in vinegar.
Always cook thoroughly, never eat raw, as raw blewits can cause stomach upset. Slice and fry slowly in butter until the moisture cooks off, then add to creamy sauces, risotto or pasta; the firm texture also holds up well in stews and soups.
It can be confused with violet Cortinarius species, some of which are poisonous. The key difference is that Cortinarius produce a rusty-brown spore print and a cobweb-like veil on young caps, whereas a true blewit has a pale pinkish-buff spore print and no such veil.
