Funguary Feb 24 - Cryptic False Blusher - Amanita pantherina

Amanita pantherina, also known as the panther cap. This creature is a liminal beast, both mushroom and feline. Members of this hunting species vary from almost white through various shades of pink and brown to almost black. They are not easily domesticated, but their impressive colours mean that people who are particularly dedicated will try regardless.

The nodules on the Cryptic False Blusher colour change from white to pinkish red when the animal grows warm throughout the day. This species is a common focus for wildlife photographers.

🍄 Funguary 24: Panther Cap

They are incredibly nimble and fast. They get along surprisingly well with normal panthers!

Panther cap / false blusher (Amanita pantherina) 

This is fairly uncommon in the UK, though grey spotted amanitas (Amanita excelsa) are sometimes misidentified as the panther cap. They can be distinguished by the stem - the panther cap’s is smooth below the stem ring, while the grey spotted amanita’s is scaly. Additionally, A. excelsa has greyish cap spots, while A. pantherina’s are white, stained darker only in the rain, as seen here - most of them have in fact washed off entirely.
