Yummy!

Amanita

Beautiful!

Thanks!

Oh cool, I was wondering what kind it was! Thank you!

Every mushroom can be eaten... once

poisonous

Amanita muscaria to be exact, or "fly agaric". it can be yellow or red as well. It's a mushroom with a lot of history. Never edible unless you really know what you're doing 😉

There’s old mycologists. Bold mycologists. But no old and bold mycologists

I’m not even sure knowledge of what it does would make ok to eat. From everything I’ve heard or read about mushrooms the effect of Amanita is at best a dreamy sluggish type of state. Enhanced actual dreaming too. But a lot say it’s dysphoric and uncomfortable

I swear Beaver Brook has some of the best mushroom hunting in the state.

I disagree. No concentric rings around the base makes me think this is just a Yellow Patch. These are often confused with the Amanita family.

You may be half right. Yellow patch is amanita flavoconia.

I should've clarified - confused often with Amanita Muscaria

That’s a great pic

All I see is a sesame seed bun

I’m about to move close to here! Excited to explore Beaver Brook

Youre right that amanita can be yellow, this looks more like amanita flavoconia aka yellow patches due to the yellow stipe and, well, patches lol. Amanita muscaria var. Guessowii (the yellow amanita youre referring to) has a white stipe and white patches and is usually a much paler shade of yellow.

Did you eat it 😂
