Would this be a Vermillion grisette?

Trying to learn mushrooms. Is this a Vermillion grisette or maybe a Ceaser?

Welcome to JungleDragon! Thanks for sharing this cool mushroom! Can you please add the geotag? That will help make identification easier.

Unless you are located in Australia, I doubt this is Amanita xanthocephala (Vermillion Grisette). Also, when comparing to other online photos of Amanita caesarea, it seems unlikely that the mushroom in this photo would be a Caesar.

I would try comparing it to Russula sp. or Lactarius sp. Also, when photographing mushrooms, it is very helpful to get a clear shot of the gills/pore surface.

Hope this helps! Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago

Thanks for the greeting and the advice. lol, as you can see I couldn't decide whether to get more gil or cap in the photo. Hopefully I will come across some more specimens soon. Looking forward to learning here in the jungle. Posted 3 years ago

  You're welcome! I enjoy photographing mushrooms too, although I don't know that much about them. They can be tricky to ID. Posted 3 years ago
