Description The European blusher has a reddish-brown convex pileus (cap), that is up to 15 cm across, and strewn with small cream-coloured warts. It is sometimes covered with an ochre-yellow flush which can be washed by the rain. European Amanita rubescens is known to contain a hemolytic poison in its raw state. It also can easily confound whit the deadly panther cap.

Shot with a Canon EOS 50D + EF 100mm f/2,8L IS USM Macro.

>>It also can easily confound whit the deadly panther cap<<

no - if there is ANY red it is an A. rubescens (Perlpilz)

if not it is either A. pantherina (Panterpilz)  or A. excelsa (grauer Wulstling) and that is the deadly mushroom roulette
(there are also some more edible which aren't too comon)


btw wonderful picture
