bobby b Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Found this growing in the sand at the North Carolina shore in early October. Faint pink staining, maybe it would intensify, the gill edges contrasting and tattered, the partial veil lined from contact with the gills, the volva covered with sand. I wasn't familiar with A. mutabilis and didn't check the odor. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Amanita mutabilis looks like a good proposal. Habitat fits (sandy Atlantic coastal). What type(s) of tree(s) are present? The pink staining may need some help... like rubbing/injuring the stalk or maybe slicing into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted December 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Thanks Dave! Barrier island pine trees and shrubbery being the omnipresent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 A. mutabilis is listed as an associate of oak and/or pine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
