Albatrellus blushing is a saprotroph.
The basidiomas of the fungus are represented by a stem and a cap.
The diameter of the cap can reach 6-8 centimeters. The surface of the cap is scaly; old mushrooms may have cracks. Color – light brown, may be dark orange, brown, with shades of purple.
The hymenophore has angular pores, the color is yellowish, with shades of green, there may be pinkish spots. The tubules strongly descend on the stem of the fungus.
The stem may be eccentric, and there are specimens with a central stem. There is a small fluff on the surface, the color is pinkish. In the dried state, the leg acquires a bright pink color (hence the name – blushing albatrellus).
The pulp is dense, cheese-like, the taste is bitter.
The blushing albatrellus is very similar to the sheep mushroom (Albatrellus ovinus), as well as to the lilac albatrellus. But in the sheep mushroom, the spots on the cap are greenish, but in the lilac albatrellus, the hymenophore does not run to the leg, and the flesh has a light yellow color.
