#1 I think is a Suillus species. #2-3 Amanita species
#3 Amanita muscaira #2 pictures wont enlarge. Possibly also Amanita muscaria
-------------------- Favorite quote: I want to know if they are active and magic or not. And if they are not active, can i pick them before they are active and then they will become active or do they have to grow till they activate?

Thanks. I was thinking Species #1 was Poor Man's Slippery Jack after consulting Mushrooms Demystified, but I don't know jack about taxonomy. Pretty fun to learn more!

Thanks, Alan. I am excited for summer to end, so I can get out and start hunting. Here's to the rain!
