  1. I'm def thinking Amanita sect. Lepidella, but I'm not very versed in this genus. T_T The orange/red staining and the yellowy/golden tint makes me think this isn't A. bisporigera, but I could be wrong. Posted 5 years ago
    1. Oh, cool...thanks. The orange color threw me off and I wasn't sure where to plop it taxonomically, aside from being an Amanita. Posted 5 years ago
