Red Mushroom is a Russian apple cultivar listed in A Study of Northwestern Apples as accession No. 278. The bulletin describes it as showy, similar to Vasilis Largest and Zolotareff, with very large fruit for culinary use. [S1]
The fruit is very large and roundish to roundish oblong. It is cylindrical, obscurely angular, and unequal, with an unctuous surface, minute whitish dots, and some russet specking. The cavity is deep and acuminate, with much radiating russet. The stem is very short. [S1]
The flesh is white, subacid, and fair in quality. The basin is ribbed, deep, and abrupt. The calyx is open with erect segments. The core is closed, the tube is conical, the stamens are median, and the seeds are few, short, and plump. [S1]
Red Mushroom is listed as an August apple for culinary use, not dessert quality. The available source gives no tree habit, disease notes, storage behavior, or direct hardiness zone statement. Its Russian origin and inclusion in a South Dakota northwestern apple bulletin place it among cold climate apple material described for northern growing conditions, but the source gives no specific hardiness rating. [S1]
No direct parentage is reported. The comparison to Vasilis Largest and Zolotareff describes resemblance, not ancestry. [S1]
