A few days ago I was walking near my home in western Canada and saw three large, colorful mushrooms emerging from the ground. I thought they might be Amanita muscaria magic mushrooms as they had bright red-orange tops.
When I went back the next day, they were gone. Someone had taken them. But, nearby, was a larger patch of the same kind of mushroom. This time I had my camera with me, so I took these pictures. They sure look similar, but the tops seem to be flatter and less cone-shaped than I would have expected them to be.
But now I was now in a dilemma. How could I tell for certain if they were actually Amanita muscaria mushrooms, and not a look-alike that might be dangerous? Could I take pictures of them and show them to a mycologist? Could a mushroom expert know just from the pictures if they were Amanita muscaria or not?
Eventually I decided that it would be much safer and less of a chore simply to buy Amanita muscaria mushrooms from a reliable source, like Bouncing Bear Botanicals, rather than risking the dangers that could come with not being able accurately to identify mushrooms growing in the wild.
Nevertheless, it was wonderful to see these large, colorful mushrooms growing so close to my home. I wonder who picked the other ones and what they did with them. Anyway, I am happy to share these pictures. If anyone can help me by saying for certain what kind of mushrooms they are, please let me know. It would be great to know that Amanita muscarias grow so close to where I live.
The bottom one is certainly an amanita muscaria. The top ones are more iffy. If they are red/orange, then you’re in the gold, if they are even slightly brownish, don’t eat them.
yea i found some of those up at my cabin in bigfork,MN wondering the same thing cause i want to just eat them all haha
They definately look like Amanita muscaria to me.
Of course I’d need more info for absolute identification, but I’m 99.5% sure they’re A. muscaria. The top pic may be Amanita frostiana.
A. muscaria is abundant in your area as are psilocybes if you’re not too far north.
yeah those are Amanita Muscaria
well, at full maturity these mushrooms are quite flat, but mind you there are many look a likes and i am a kid doing a report on these, so dont rely on me completely.
Yes I am 95% positive those are Amanitas. They grow all over the U.S./Canada. You can tell by the white stars on the tops of the caps. You can find them in a variety of colors including yellow (Eastern North America) and the further you move West the redder they become. The caps also come in a variety of sizes and at their peak they will flatten out rather than being in a ball-like shape. If you want a second opinion I will ask my friend who knows a lot more than I do and is actually studying mushrooms in college.
those are magic mushrooms
those are very rare Psilocybin mushrooms (also known as magic mushrooms) which is a fungi mainly of the psilocybe genus that contains the psychedelic substances psilocybin and psilocin, and occasionally other psychoactive tryptamines.
You should eat it.
hey i found identical mushrooms. did you ever find out if they were amanita muscaria?
