Are they the ones that smell like rotten meat??

Lovely clear shot.

Must admit, I didn't use my nose senses when I was around it... but it wasn't obviously massively stinky! :)

House of dwarfs? Nice closeup

i don't think it's amanita muscaria. it looks to be of the amanita family, but muscaria is usually a much brighter red in color.

and i hope it wasn't you who took a bite of it, doing that with unknown mushrooms can be deadly. if it were an amanita muscaria though you might be having some fun (they're hallucinogenic in smaller doses).

actually, after a little wiki-ing and googling, it appears to be an amanita pantherina. which is more poisonous than amanita muscaria.

anyway, i like the picture.

Yes, I looked in a book recently and thought it might be a Panther. My only concern was that the size of the mushroom suggested it was fully grown and as you can see it's not very tall or open. Also the panther seems to more rare than the muscaria at least for the area I took the photo.

might or might not be pantherina, but it'd be hard to identify just based on the picture. some form of amanita though, there are a lot of varieties within the species.

Very good mushroom shot:-))

Great Mushroom photo. I agree with LMoliviatis. I saw the red one once in Scotland -- I was thrilled it looked just like the ones in story books. It was bright red with white dots similar to your mushroom. That is one thing I miss about Scotland is all the wonderful mushrooms. Love your picture.

That would be Fly Agaric, Daughterson. They say if you lick them it has the same effect as LSD. Trippy, man.
