The blusher is the common name for several closely related species of the genus Amanita. A. rubescens (the blushing amanita) is found in Eurasia and A. novinupta (the new bride blushing amanita or blushing bride) is found in western North America. Both their scientific and common names stem from the tendency of their flesh to bruise pink. Blushers are difficult to distinguish from similar species, but one identifying feature is the pink bruising. The mushroom is edible.
