  1. I don't think it is an Amanita. Posted 10 years ago
    1. definitely not an agaric - those have bumps, but there were more mature specimens in this same spot that looked much more amanita like - something similar to amanita phalloides, amanita crocea or amanita parcivolvata possibly. I don't pick or dig up specimens though, so I did not see if there were capsules. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago
  2. I am sure it is a Questionable Stropharia. (Stropharia Ambigua) Posted 10 years ago
    1. Sure does look like that - though it's rather out of season… but then again with the whacko weather we've been having, I suppose some plant confusion shouldn't be a surprise. Posted 10 years ago
