   I go for frequent visits to Nursie at the surgery to have my INR   
   (blood-clotting) tested, and on the way there I pass the rolling grass   
   frontage of the council offices where frequently I find bluelegs   
   (bluestalks, blewits, Lepista saeva) at this time of year.   
      
   Yesterday, having a late appointment, I did a more thorough search and   
   collected about half a carrier-bag of them.   
      
   They are now salted down in two big jars. The brine they will generate   
   is excellent for adding to stews and casseroles, while salting tends to   
   compact the fruitbodies and (after soaking in fresh water) render them   
   very meaty in texture.
