Dave W Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Looks like one of the species in the Amanita amerirubescens group. Rod Tulloss has recently described several different NA species within this "Blushing Amanita" group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smalldridge Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Chefs, I've been finding similar mushrooms locally for a few years that I believe are Amanita Amerirubescens as Dave has suggested for your grouping. I posted a photo of one on the general discussion forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
