Rhodotus palmatus

A species of Netted rhodotus, Also known as Rosy veincap

The netted rhodotus (Rhodotus palmatus) is a striking mushroom that is hard to mistake for any other. The texture of its cap has a net-like appearance, adorned with a series of curving, interconnected ridges. Because that cap is usually a pink or orange-pink color, the species is sometimes called the "wrinkled peach mushroom". This otherworldly species is found in temperate areas across the northern hemisphere, but it is rare across much of its range.

Cap Diameter:

3 - 10 cm

Indistinct, non-descript mushroomy smell.
