RAU Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Pretty sure I found the most inedible poison mushroom in our woods!!! The destroying angel. This is it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastedBrew Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Looks to me for sure like an amanita that’ll do some damage to you. I can’t comment specifically on species... My woods are loaded every year. I could have collected 10 pounds of different amanitas. I believe I have yellow-orange fly agarics, brown panther caps, and the death caps. Ive read a couple times about how they have an “aura” -like some kind of fairy tale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staveshaver Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Quote They are more common here than I originally thought. For some reason I thought they were like a needle in a haystack.... but I find them regularly here in western Pa... and I'm certainly not looking for them. In hindsight, I think maybe I heard from folks who live where they don't grow as often, or perhaps partly because subconsciously at least, I thought that something that dangerous, 'must be' less prolific. Now that I know what to look for, I see them pretty regularly.... especially late summer into fall. I saw these this week... and saw a handful of others that hadn't opened yet... wish now I would have taken pics of them too... they called to me... but I was on a steadfast Sheepshead mission. See the third one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
