amanita? what EXACT kind? asap help please
Stumbled upon these... should have taken pictures first before picking but camera wasn't available. Bagged em and and jarred em as i knew it would be 2 days until i reached home since i was on the road
(I REALIZE I SHOULD HAVE DRIED EM OVER A FIRE asap)
upon opening the bag 2 days later, they were all SLIMY.... and most of the stems Really slimy/rotting.
More importantly the dots/spores? fell off the caps.
Upon INITIALLY finding them..... they weren't under any special tree. Also the CAPS were MORE yellow/Orange/brown (some more than others), I figured "They will turn MORE red if I don't pick them" (but i'm beginning to think THESE AREN'T muscarias)
Are the Caps/GIANT stems worth salvaging?
Any advice? Worth salvaging? ARE THESE A GOOD BREED.... WORTH GOING BACK FOR AND HARVESTING/HUNT PROPERLY?
Thanks so kindly

Those look pretty gnarly, next time maybe try putting your finds in something that actually breathes.

Drying over fire is a new method that this user is not familiar with. While keeping mushies in a bag for two days, is not the best idea, at least make sure the bag can breathe (like Aloe suggested above). Paper bags are ideal for keeping the harvested mushies in. Since your bag is plastic, they couldn't breathe and the moisture wrecked them. If they are edible/active, you may be able to consume them in tea.
Wait for a TI to ID them and go from there.

I would prob toss them, they look absolutely fucky to me. There are several active Aminita species that are not the traditional Santa Claus red of Muscaria, but rotten, slimy specimens like that are best avoided if you wanna be safe.
I would check carefully for maggots/flies etc too, I have harvested hundreds of Am. Musc in the past and some of them which initially look fine turn out to be CRAWLING with little beasts, worms/maggots, whatever. The season is long, go and hunt for a reliable find and take decent pics when they are fresh if you are intent on a Musc experience, a bit of reading goes a long way, and a lot of reading could save lives/cramps/puking and all other kinds of mishaps.
Wait for a TI tho, I don't have much experience with specimens that weren't pristine and fresh as can be when prepared.
