Is this a Fly Agaric?
    #19144800 - 11/16/13 10:37 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hi,
  I found this mushroom and wondered if it's a good one?

I found it last week (very small, bright red ball, with brilliant white spots).

Went back today and it had fully opened (11cm) and turned more of a orange color (see picture).  I'm drying it out now, but wondered if it was safe?



(I didn't keep the stalk :frown: )

Yes it is fly agaric.  No drug is "safe", however it won't kill you unless you aspirate your vomit.

I thought it was.  I keep finding them and thought I'd better check - you don't think it looks a little too 'gnarly'?  Should I have picked it last week when it was a bright red ball?

I dont see any bugs(not a big deal) or rotting(a VERY big deal) but the pics don't show the underside. Looks ok though. General rule of thumb is choose your mushies like grocery produce....if you wouldn't buy it then don't pick it.

Cool. Yeah the under side is fine - snowy white, not rotting. Thanks for your help. Looking forward to trying amanita :smile:

At that stage of maturity it will probably get eaten by maggots quite fast if you don't do something with it immediately.
