Blushing Rosette (wide-pored, annual polypore, can vary in form, cap width:5-20cm)

Blushing Rosette (wide-pored, annual polypore, can vary in form, cap width:5-20cm)

Inedible, taste mild, but it has a strange mushroomy smell (some authors describe the smell as somewhat unpleasant).

Occasional and widespread in the UK.

Young, irregular fruit bodies secrete/oozing red droplets. In this form it can be confused with Devil’s Tooth (Hydnellum peckii) and/or Mealy Tooth, but both species can be found exclusively in old conifer forests, near Pine or Spruce, also these species have spines (teeth), not wide pores.
The regular fruit bodies might be confused with the rarer Zoned Rosette, which also prefers hardwoods, especially Oaks, but Zoned Rosette doesn’t have visible pores. If we look it more carefully it more reminds of a pink to red stained Wood Cauliflower than a Blushing Rosette.
