The Fungi World (191) : Blusher
In the dark cavity of this old stump where I spotted a few years ago White Milking Bonnets (see picture below), I discovered this time a beautiful Blusher on exactly the same spot.
Must be an ideal biotope for fungi over there !
The Blusher got its name because its flesh reddens wherever it is damaged.
Poisonous if raw but edible if cooked. It’s one of the few fungi where the toxin is destroyed by the cooking process.
But fungi newbies have to watch out, as the Blusher can easily be confused with the deadly poisonous Panther Cap !
Moreover, this fungus is much too beautiful to be picked for the kitchen table…….
Dutch name : Parelamaniet
German name : Perlpilz
Latin name : Amanita rubescens
***
This is probably my last fungus shot of the 2012 autumn, because winter has suddenly arrived here with cold frost and lots of snow.
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures of the fascinating fungi world as much as I did when I found and shot them all.
