ChefsWild Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 There were some entirely orange ones with the same morphology that weren't as accessible to photograph, but these were quite pretty!
Dave W Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Nice! There should be a partial veil covering the gills or an annulus ion the stalk (same thing... different developmental stages) if it's an Amanita section Caesareae, which I believe it is. Amanita jacksonii (a species from section Caesareae) has orange floccose material on the stem. The stems seen here appear to be quite smooth. There are NA species from section Caesareae which have not yet been classified/named. This may be an example of one of them. Also, look for distinct striations along the cap margins... possibly a bit difficult to detect in a very young tight cap.
ChefsWild Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Posted July 10, 2015 The older ones had the clear striation and the flushing from red to yellow at the edges.
Dave W Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 I think this is a species other than jacksonii. If you email the photos to me, I'll post them on Mushroom Observer, where they are are virtually guaranteed to catch the attention of Amanita expert Rod Tulloss.
Dave W Posted July 17, 2015 Report Posted July 17, 2015 The big red/orange/yellow Caesars are one of the most beautiful mushrooms out there.
