The Panther cap is darker in color and if you see the the marks where slugs have eaten the mushroom (or so it seems to me) the flesh of the mushroom began to turn red and I bet that if you cut the base of the stem, where it is bulb is, the same would be there: the redish coloring of bruised bits.

Hi there, I was going between the blusher and panther cap! What was distinctive about this one which gave you your conclusion? :)

This is not the Panther Cap, this is The Blusher (Amanita Rubescens).
