Okay this is a long post with 22 images of today.
I was walking down Pike street at 7 am this morning and I looked over towards Quernn Anne Hill as I was crossing the freeway and saw a rainbow which stretched from downtown Seattle to Queen Anne Hill.
So that is where i went to up to the end of the rainbow.
However, by the time I got my camera out and in focus, the rainbow was slowly disappearing. SOp here is the rainbow image I captured on the digital camera.
So next, I walked downtown to the bus and went up to Queen Anne Hill AND HERE ARE THE BLUE RINGERS I FOUND.
THE FIRST TWO IMAGES ARE OF COURSE BLURRED AS WERE ALMOST TWENTY OTHER IMAGES OR SO.
and a close up of a blurred cluster
ASnd now here are four clear images of P. stuntzii taken this morning in rainy soggy weather and soggy grassy lawn.
So after taking a few images I walked down the street from where I found the blue ringers and found some naematoloma shrooms growing in two beautiful clusters.
Here they are as I saw them and photographed them for you all to see. That is what my camera does and is for.
and then half a block from the Namatoloma mushrooms i found these beatiful Mushrooms of the Gods, in a grasy mulch and pine needle habitat.
Here are 13 images of Amanita muscaria var. muscaria.
Young Beautiful Buttons of Joy.
And finally a bouquet of amanitas
And that is how I spent my morning birthday

I've been wondering. What is the white fuzz on the amanitas. Cause I mean, I have never seen it up close, but from the pictures it looks really gross.

The white spots on the cap are remnants of the universal veil that the mushrooms have when they are young.
The yellow-orange A. muscaria tend to cause more nausea and vomiting. I don't suggest eating A. muscaria(any form) to anyone. It's bad news for most people.

I second Gumby Dudes point and it is well taken.
Amanitas are not nice to savor.
They will make you very uncomfortable, although some [people apparently liuke them, such as Jonathan Ott.
And James Arthur, author of Mushrooms and Mankind
And Heinrich Clark who wrote a whole book on Amanita. I suggest anyone really interested inlearning about them find a copy of R. Gordon Wasson's Soma: Divine Mushroom of Immortality..
I might post robert Graves articles on this subject and of the ancient mysteries of Greece.

They are related to Psilocybes in that they belong to the Agariccaceae families. But are not psychoaactive.
P. cubensis was also identlfied two years after its discovery in Cuba as naematoloma caerulescens by Patoulliard in Tonkin (what is now North Viet-Nam, Hanoi)
