Southeast Wisconsin Amanita finds
    #4823819 -

V sorry for the bad webcam pic V

I found these on an island on the Fox River. I'm 100% sure they are Amanitas, and not the poisonous kind either. They are the yellow variety with the white flecks on top. I ate them last year with my friends. Not that great of an experience, but I figured I'd pick them again this year for the hell of it. I have no use for them, so I'm drying them out for whoever wants them. There are still more out there maturing, and probably more still popping up too. The largest caps in this picture are the size of my hands. Me and my friend walked by these at first, but when we were coming back we started finding them like crazy. I have the area pinpointed on this one island where they grow like crazy. It's the same place as last year. All you have to do is look carefully around this one grouping of trees on a part of the island that is only accesible by foot, after walking through a low marshy area. So it's a pretty elite hunting spot that no one else really knows about. Also, I know of a kid that supposedly has them growing all over the place in the woods behind his house.

I've been finding all sorts of interesting fungi here in Wisconsin this fall. Puffballs, fairy rings, shelf fungi, slime molds, etc. I've even found some poisonous Amanitas this year as well, although in much smaller numbers than the edible kind. I need to get a better camera to take pics of them all. I could find many pictures to share with you all. Soon, I plan to take a trip to Kettle Moraine state forest. I hear that is a good area to go hunting, and it isn't that far from where I live. I'll be sure to keep the hunting forum updated.

woah woah, slow down there  :cool:

first of all, that picture is really blurry,
but they don't even look like Amanita's to me.

next, please do not eat any unidentified mushrooms.
it is extremely risky, especially when dealing with Amanita mushrooms.

"so I'm drying them out for whoever wants them."
woah woah woah, slow down..
please do not offer people unidentified mushrooms
not cool, not wise, not kind :smile:

if you can't name the exact species of mushroom you found, then you certainly shouldn't be eating them.

some species of Amanita are considered deadly poisonous

so don't toy with them

Thanks for caring, but I'm 100% positive these are Amanita muscaria(var. formosa, I believe). In any case, these are EXACTLY the SAME ONES I found in the EXACT same spot as last year, and me and three other people ALREADY ATE without any ill effects. And I had quite a bit, so I'm pretty sure noone's gonna die. :rolleyes:

I mean, I understand why you would be concerned. Yeah, the pic is blurry as hell. Just looking at it myself, I would think the same thing...they don't look like Amanitas. THAT'S BECAUSE THE PIC IS SO DAMNED BLURRY! If I had a better camera, you wouldn't be disagreeing with me. :wink:

I would never give anything out or eat it myself if I was unsure about whether or not it was poisonous. That said...I'll toy with them all I like! :smile:
