Blusher (Amanita rubescens) 

The blushers are out! This is another herald of the soon-to-come summer mushrooms; it is a substantial edible that is commonly available and widely spread long before chicken of the woods and (in the cooler parts of the UK at least) many oyster mushrooms. 

These fungi can be recognised by their pinkish tinge which is exacerbated by any damage to the gills or flesh. 

If it is to be eaten, care should be taken not to confuse it with other, poisonous Amanitas, and also to cook it thoroughly, as it is itself poisonous in its raw form, containing a hemolytic toxin that causes anemia, but is broken down when the mushroom is properly cooked.

Blusher (Amanita rubescens)

Another blusher - contrast with my last post to see the difference in cap colour; this feature is often not very useful for identifying a mushroom with certainty.

Blushers (Amanita rubescens)

The gorgeous pink tint to the head of these young amanitas reveals them to be Blushers - they will likely turn a more brownish-pink as they mature, but as with many species, the cap colour varies significantly from pale off-white to a fairly deep reddish-brown. The flesh will always turn a dull pink or red when damaged, however. 

These mushrooms are considered edible if thoroughly cooked, but as with all amanitas, they are often avoided for fear of confusing them with one of the deadly species in the genus.

Blusher (Amanita rubescens)

Blushers are quite variable in colour, varying from deep tan to off-white with a pinkish undertone, though the gills always blush a pink or red when handled. My favourite are these rosy ones that are just varying shares of pink, looking kind of embarrassed. 

Unlike most other Amanitas, blushers are edible but they must be thoroughly cooked to avoid poisoning, so I’ve never been quite brave enough to try one.
