need more pics, but I would not feel comfortable giving an ID on dried out specimens, especially dried Amanita given that there are so many which are toxic.
don't be so eager to experience any substance that you neglect your health/better judgment.

Those pictures are before drying, sorry, I should've cleared that up.
As far as my better judgment goes, I've been doing a lot of research and i'm about 99% sure that this is a guessowii. However, my better judgment told me to verify that here before consuming, and here we are.

ya, if thats before drying, it might be wise to just consider it 'past prime'
just remember if its not in the shape you'd want your food in, its not in the shape you'd want to eat either.
for any reason.
unless you like getting the shits. i always forget that caveat.

It looked a lot better than that when I first picked it up! It was definitely ripe, but it wasn't so wrinkly and misshapen. I found it while i was catfishing and threw it in a plastic bag with a bunch of other stuff, didn't get to take the pic until about 3 hours later.
