Reddening amanita
The reddening Amanita , amanita rubescens , is also known under the name of vinous amanita , because of its color.
Characteristics
The Amanite S are Champignon S with white blades, seldom yellow, with bulbous foot often engainé in a volva, with or without ring, whose spores are white.
Description
The reddening Amanite is a mushroom with a hat (4 has 20 cm), of color brown rosy, strewn with small warts (coming from the veil) white broken or cream ochracé (which can be washed by the rain), with stained blades of pink of which the subbulbeux foot is of color blanchâtre to brownish 6-22 X 1,5-3,5 cm). It has a white flesh which reddens in the wounds and with the break. It is often attacked by the parasitic insects. It pushes on the poor grounds as well in the wood of leafy trees as in the wood of coniferous tree, of the summer to the autumn. It is in the forests of spruces that the largest specimens are found.
Use
It is a good edible, delicious, on the condition of being well cooked.
Risk confusion
Attention: possible confusion with the Amanita panther which is a very toxic mushroom. The distinction is however rather easy to make for the initiates:
- the reddening amanita, as its name indicates it, reddens with the break, while the amanita panther remains white;
- the amanita panther has a hat at the striated edges, the reddening amanita not;
- the amanita panther has a thick volva forming a pad, while that of the reddening amanita is almost absent.
