Is this a Amanita Mascaria?
    #23775760 - 10/27/16 07:11 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Went for a search today for liberty caps, got a little lost and found these guys (pics attached), are they Amanita Mascaria? I found two patches of them, from what I could tell they were the same appart from the first batch were more orangey red and the others deep red. Deep red seamed to have less white spots. From what i could identify they seem legit but I've seen users suggest uploading photos no matter what for the experts to check, so here you are, thanks:)

Habitat:
Found these in the Uk, Berkshire, just wondering whether they were Amanita Mascaria, found it on next to some woods on a grassy sort of field (picture showing the mushrooms and environment).

Gills:
White, very fine spacing, as shown in picture. Spore print: White or Non-existent? might just be they havent been left long enough, in which case i will update.

Stem:
quite long stems, white and very solid.thick.

Cap:
Cap about 10cm wide, colour ranging from orange/red from the first i found to a deep red with the second bunch, both with white dots on them.

Smells of normal regular gross mushroom smell











Thanks - Conno

Can you name a couple so I can understand which ones you are talking about that are deadly and look alike? This is not a smarty pants question I really want to know what you have heard in the past or know so I can see the trend of info going around.

Just gone on some of the posts on this website with people posting those which look similar such as Amanita flavoconia, Amanita jacksonii, Amanita pantherina and other ones in the same family. I just want to be 100% sure i know what I'm dealing with before i do anything with them:)

You're alright though because it is the only pillar box red Amanita in the UK. I don't know that any red ones are deadly anywhere. If you're ingesting these either cook them very well, tossing them at heat, for a meal, they are tasty, although maybe a tiny bit emetic, and maybe a tiny bit happy/calming, or make sure you prep them correctly for whatever you are planning.

You'll need to research that one without me, I have enjoyed eating it well-cooked but never mastered preparing it as an entheogen.
