The genus also contains many edible mushrooms, but mycologists discourage mushroom hunters, other than knowledgeable experts, from selecting any of these for human consumption. Nonetheless, in some cultures, the larger local edible species of "Amanita" are mainstays of the markets in the local growing season. Samples of this are "Amanita zambiana" and other fleshy species in central Africa, "A. basii" and similar species in Mexico, "A. caesarea" and the "Blusher" "Amanita rubescens" in Europe, and "A. chepangiana" in South-East Asia. Other species are used for colouring sauces, such as the red "A. jacksonii", with a range from eastern Canada to eastern Mexico.
