Outlandish AMANITAS
    #6002089 - 08/27/06 03:53 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Hello.
In the past couple of days I have taken hundreds upon hundreds of outstanding mushroom photos. They are everywhere, stinkhorns to coral, and everything in between.

In my travels I encountered many amanitas, some familiar, and some outstandingly odd loners. Old pals include amanita cokeri and rubescens:







Now the fun part. [milk carton] have you seen me?!1one [/milk carton]
I am not DEMANDING an ID noob-style, but simply would love to hear ANY and ALL input from Shroomery peers regarding these neat finds!!
1-







(No matter how far I walked, I never found an opened up one. Days later, the old ones were mysteriously vanished (deer maybe?!) and only similar new-looking ones... :smile: superficially similar to a. cokeri, but naaaaaaaah, hehe. Note red inside occasionally chiseled basal bulbs...)

-2



(covered in rosy powder/fleks. Again, peculiar basal bulb. Cut one in half and had a strong FREAKIN' WEIRD odor. :o No staining.)

-3

(A fairly teeny one, blushes like a. rubescens, no patches or warts at any stage. Snail bait.)

-4+5 (WYSIWYG)




:strokebeard:
SO MANY HAPPY MUSHROOMS AROUND!

I love patting bottoms. Can I pat yours?

Amanitas are so f'ing cool. So much beauty in that genus, and so variable too. I love finding the cokeri, when they are purely white they look like they came from another planet. I think your number 1 is just a cokeri with an especially gigantic or mutated base, but who knows. From what I've read, most of our knowledge of the genus is based on european species, but the diversity in North America is much, much greater. Gumby or toxic or someone posted an amanita website from a prominent mycologist, might want to check there.

Thanks for posting these pictures, makes me want to go hunt.

Also, I've read in a guidebook that cokeri has ibotenic acid in it, but haven't seen that anywhere else. Not that I would eat it anyway!

Very cool :cool:

I like Amanita's, too, they're just so cool and diverse. A couple weeks ago, my girl was refering to those types as the "horny" looking ones, LOL.
And, I'm like HORNS? Those aren't horns, they're warts.  :smirk:

Well, I was bumbleing around through some books and online and briefly thought that the very last one could be a. spissa.

The problem however, is that I cannot see the basal bulb (which... apparently can frequently be buried in spissa) and also, a. spissa supposedly never has radial grooves around the margin like mine, and is more dark in the center lightening to the edges. Color here looks pretty thorough...
