Truly feel blessed this season! Continually astounded by what we're finding up here.

The last few days...

Got some funny looks from motorists along 99E checking these ammys out.

And a hooded merganser and a crane were checking us out too. (NevermindConfused )

Checked the growth in the cyan patches and ran across some allenii...that's it on top ( or as it appears here, the left, i think, it's the less caramel one, jeez)

EDIT: once again, uploading pics to the nexus is an exercise in frustration.Thumbs down This is too consistent and isolated to be an issue in my end. I have lots of great pics to share with y'all, but when it takesten minutes per upload its not worth pulling out the last few hairs on my head... Also this upside down crap is getting old, that's the uploader, not my pic, and i can't fix it by trying to guess which way it'll orient next, I'll always be wrong. Each puc here is turned a different way, there isn't one right side up.

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

I've seen such "freak mushrooms" before. They can get so big that they collapse from their own weight. Amazing indeed.

Mas.
I'm not sure what variety the light colored ones are. They aren't death angels or panthercaps.

Bottom pic= first allenii finds.
Second to bottom: took the skin of one of the big ammys and stretched it over a rock which i then put in the oven at 250 until it turned brassy. Now i have a nice shiny amanita paperweight.

Thumbs up
I've found that the skins make a good craft project material and can be applied to metal, glass, wood, etc for interesting ceremonial objects or just nifty and unique decor. No need for a fixative or glue and it seems to create at least a semi permanent bond when the shi skin dries onto the object. In the process of making a ceremony bowl and going to get some birch to make a mushroom wand...

Cool thread Null those are some enormous amanitas. I love the copper color of the skin after it dries.

Great resurrection Tony!

I agree those don’t look like pantherinas or var. formosa, null. That stipe looks like a regular muscaria. I’m guessing it was just a bit more pale. I’ve seen a pretty big variety of color coming from what appears to be the same flush. I’m guessing a modest difference in soil nutrients or a spot where two separate mycelium had little get together (boom chica wa wa), lol.

Did you eat the yellow/orange ones?

Anyway, thanks again Tony. We now know null’s super secret crafting technique Twisted Evil
