How cool is this?

I didn't harvest it. There was just the one and I didn't have the heart to cut it from the sugar maple.

I can't be sure... but I'm suspecting that it's zz's brain. Mr. Green

There was a break in the rain today, so I took the opportunity to walk through the forest for a couple of hours looking for mushrooms. I came back with seven or eight samples most of which were small, but a couple of larger, really interesting ones.

The most interesting one by far was a red capped, white stemmed,large mushroom that I found toward the end of my hike, near my stream. It isn't listed in my book, which means that it probably isn't one of the more common edible ones. I went to the Internet and first thought that it was the highly toxic Yellow Fly Agaric (Amanita Muscaria). However, it lacks the warts on its red cap that are characteristic of the Yellow Fly Agaric. It must therefore be the similar looking and related (but edible!) American Caesar (Amanita Jacksonii).

Score - can't wait to try it!

Two photos of my Amanita Jacksonii follow. Then one of the poisonous Amanita Muscaria.
