Blusher
The European blusher has a reddish-brown convex pileus (cap), that is 5–15 centimetres (2–6 inches) across, and strewn with small white-to-mahogany warts.This is a key feature in differentiating it from the poisonous false blusher or panther cap (Amanita pantherina), whose flesh does not.(In North America there are several different species that fit into the name A. amerirubescens) [2] It grows on poor soils as well as in deciduous and coniferous woodlands, appearing from June through to November in the UK.Parasitized fruiting bodies are extremely difficult to recognize unless they occur in conjunction with healthy ones, although some retain the "blushing" characteristic of the species.[9] A. rubescens contains a toxic hemolytic protein in its raw state, although it is not apparently harmful to consume and can be destroyed by cooking.
