The mushrooms have really begun to pop up in our yard this past week. I found this pretty little Amanita growing under one of the pine trees yesterday.

Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly Amanita, is a poisonous and psychoactive basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita. Native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Amanita muscaria has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the Southern Hemisphere, generally as a symbiont with pine plantations, and is now a true cosmopolitan species. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees. The quintessential toadstool, it is a large white-gilled, white-spotted, usually deep red mushroom, one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture. Several subspecies, with differing cap colour have been recognised to date, including the brown regalis (considered a separate species), the yellow-orange flavivolata, guessowii, and formosa, and the pinkish persicina. Genetic studies published in 2006 and 2008 show several sharply delineated clades which may represent separate species

We even had them in our NorCal place Ron. this is a perfect example well taken. I have not ingested, being pretty much against such things...although I do have a brew ever so often....always trying to keep it in balance. you have done so well and I don't know if I would have much memory of Ohio would it not be for your contributions!
