size: 6″ high x 4.5″ wide. This Amanita Species has a flesh that stains red, thus called “The Blusher Mushroom” and can grow to 15 cm across. The stalks have a bulbous base with a lot of cottony patches on the stalk with a large ring. I love the pinkish brown tinges on the cap and stalk. Do not eat this species as most amanitas are poisonous but beautiful.
