Default Beware amanitas!!

My awareness is growing! While out getting a bumper crop of huckleberries.. I came upon lots of red tops... they are fantastic.... its tough to find non wormy ones (but that's just extra protein).

Driving out I found a batch of large 'false red tops' they were the fly amanitas mushroom. Rather deadly.

I'm also 90% sure I found some 'death cap' mushies around Allison Lake. So ya... one has to watch out.

That coral fungus is also known as goats beard and its fantastic! I just found some around here.

The wet year down south has made it a super year for mushrooms..... anyone seen any shaggy manes yet?

also.... has anyone ever found chantrelles?? I here they grow in Alta....
