   There's a chance one could mistake a Cortinarius for a blewit.  Corts   
   are always very plentiful in the forest around my home.   
      
   Blewits can be plentiful some years, but there have been years where I   
   found none.  My foot found one last fall.  Unfortunately, it was the   
   only one I stumbled across.  (At least I know where to look this year.)   
     Last autumn was *very* dry.  If it is wet enough, they come up in my   
   yard, in the woods next to the garage.  Haven't seen them back there for   
   a couple years now.
