ID Help - What is this monster?
    #27072009 - 12/04/20 02:24 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Found this absolute monster when I was having a picnic with my kiddo yesterday (SF Bay Area). It was solo, growing under a tree, in what looks to be a combination of bark and wood chips.

The cap was about the size of my Daughters head. I've seen Amanita Muscaria growing around town before, but this one doesn't seem to have the classic white dots.

Curious to see what you guys think!

It Is A Bolete Of Some Sort, Probably One Of The Bluish/Greenish Bruising Boletes. Cut It In Half & See If It Changes Color.

Agreed! Glad we nailed it. It's quite pretty, though I don't know if I'm going to eat it. Likely just going to admire it, and remember what the heck it's called next time I see one :smile:

Thanks!
