Reddening hygrophore is also called reddish hygrophore. It has a classic appearance with a domed hat and a fairly long stem. A fully ripe mushroom gradually opens its cap. Its surface is pinkish-whitish with some yellow spots. It is uneven both in color and texture.
You can find reddening Hygrofor in ordinary coniferous forests or in mixed forests quite easily in August or September. Most often, it is located under a spruce or pine tree, with which it is adjacent.
Many people eat this mushroom, but without hunting, it does not have a special taste and smell, it is good as a supplement. Most of all, related species are similar to it, for example, Hygrofor russula. It is almost the same, but larger and thicker. The original looks more elegant on a leg of 5-8 centimeters. Professionals examine the plates for a careful distinction.
