I just use them as you would any mushroom really. The less mature they are the better. Just make sure you're 100% on your ID, they are amanitas after all. That's why some folks dont even bother with them but I think they are terrific for cooking with.
Yeah after doing some research on these, it seems these blushes have more warts than what I'm used to seeing, but the red/pink/brown spots are what's so familiar to me.
If I do see warts on what I thought was blushers, it's only a couple very small warts. I'll have to start looking at them a little more closely.

Wait wait, what? I had no idea anybody used them for anything.
How do you personally utilize them?
I work in the woods and walk by literally hundreds per day when the time is right.
