RHH's photos with the keyword: amanita

Photographed along the Park Butte-Railroad Grade trail in the North Cascades, there were hundreds of these attractive mushrooms, all in good condition in spite of a frost the night before. The Fly Agaric is a strongly psychadelic mushroom but also very dangerous and possibly deadly.

I believe these are the yellow form of Amanita muscaria, the Fly Agaric, an hallucenogenic mushroom. They were photographed along the trails at Rosy Mound Natural Area near Lake Michigan.

Amanita muscaria or Fly Agaric is a known for its hallucenogenic qualities. We did not sample it for that reason, bjut did photograph it at the Ravines, a park near Grand Valley State University in Michigan. Usually a bright red this one was yellow, as were others we saw near Lake Michigan.

This was photographed near the beginning of the Park Butte trail on the south side of Mount Baker where I hiked on one of the few good days we had in October. It is the Fly Agaric, Amanita muscaria, a mushroom that has hallucinogenic properties. I've decided that I'll keep posting photos here until Ipernity disappears, though there seems little reason to do so after all the effort put into Ipernity. At this point I have little desire to start over elsewhere though I've opened an account at 23hq. I'll almost certainly not go back to Flickr, since I hate their interface and despise Yahoo. Thought I had found a happy home here, but I guess it is not to be.

This is Amanita gemmata, the Gemmed Amanita, photographed in Wallace Falls State Park last autumn. Though very beautiful, it is toxic. Eating it causes hallucinations, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain and there are even a few cases of death recorded as a result of eating this species.

Thanks, Barbol, for the identification of these mushrooms. We found them growing on a bank when out for an evening walk. They were huge, at least six inches in diameter and very beautifully colored. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/12/autumn-afte...
