Collybia personata (also recognised as Lepista personata, Lepista saeva, Clitocybe saeva and Tricholoma personatum, and commonly known as the field blewit and blue-leg) is a species of edible fungus commonly found growing in grassy areas across Europe and is morphologically related to the wood blewit Collybia nuda (formerly Lepista nuda). This mushroom was moved to the genus Collybia in 2023.[1]
