I need some help identifying this.
    #14592379 - 06/10/11 07:56 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)



Habitat:
I found this growing in some grass on the side of the road. There were a few other basic ones that grow all over Massachusetts and I just recently started to pay attention to these beautiful finds. All my life of running around in the woods, I've never seen this kind of mushroom.

Gills:
When I took a look a the gills, it really wasn't "Gill Like". More of a solid white underneath the cap.

Stem:
About 2 inches from root to cap, white but bruised a violet redish color.

Cap:
The cap in light yellow with darker yellow splotches all around it. It reminded me of the epic Fly Agaric.

Spore print color:
I didn't really have a chance to take one. I had to toss it because I things to do and didn't want to be "that guy" walking into mcdonalds with a shroom.

Bruising:
Redish violet on the stem.

Other information:
I assumed it could be poisonous so I destroyed it and washed my hands afterwords. But none the less, I would love to know what kind it is and if it has any business growing in Western Massachusetts?

No I didn't. All the information I can give I have written down. I know, not the best but I did what I could for the passing moment. I only have one more pic but it's really no different. I apologize for not taking correct precautions for I know it is an inconvenience to the question. I'm a beginner :P

If it doesn't have gills, It's not Amanita. But slugs and little bugs seem to love the easy-to-eat gills, but they usually leave evidence of gills. By the way it looks, I'd also say it's Amanita, but lack of gills takes that away.
And I'm no expert either =D Pretty mushroom you have there, though.

by "no gills" could you mean that they are still veiled? It kinda looks like A. Muscaria var. formosa.

break the solid white underside with a knife or something.. you'll find the gills inside.

notice the gills are still veiled on the left side of the mushroom

The warts are reminiscent of Amanita but I don't think it is. Its pretty small for Amanita especially how mature it appears to be. Ive seen Amanita buttons with unopened caps 4-5 tmes that size.  We need better pictures to really ID it. Clear and in focus shots of the cap gills and stem would help a lot.


Did the "Gills" look like a flat white layer of tiny tiny pores, did it appear finely dotted? For some reason i think it looks Boletales. unless theres no pores and the gills were eaten or OP doesn't know what an veil is or somethin.

Amanita muscaria var. formosa has white warts that are more like flat pieces of skin on the the cap rather than raised and somewhat shaped like these appear to be.

Thanks for the veil reference, I didn't think of that.
Maybe something in Amanita gemmata? I don't know, just shooting in the dark as usual.

there's a possibility that gemmata and formosa can be confused.. i'm honestly having trouble finding a significant difference between the two in any of my reference books.

they do mention (mushrooms demystified) that the formosa should fade yellowish with a peach center, so if it (and it's brothers/sisters) don't have it I'd lean towards gemmata. (however web picture results aren't 10 for 10 showing a peachish center.

the trouble i'm finding is that there is no reference to "gemmata" in mushrooms demystified so my powers of perception are limited from here.

Thanks I learned something new :P  When I touched it my finger felt kinda funny. But I may be just silly. Keep in mind that it did bruise red. I've never seen that around here.

Bruised red you say? 


Amanita flavorubescens seems pretty good then.

Not sure what the reddish staining could be. It almost sounds like Amanita rubescens, but they're usually brownish reddish...? And don't have raised bumps. We seem to be hovering around Amanita, but I know a TI will chime in and I'll totally facepalm. :facepalm:

Yes. But a violet redish. When I pulled it from the ground I noticed the bottom of the stem start to slowly tare. Then the red started to fade in slowly.
