Aren't these supposed to be red?

in photography •  7 years ago 

This one is decidedly orange; maybe it isn't a fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) at all; I'm not that good at determining mushroom species:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 220mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/100s

It's pretty in any colour, I suppose, and very autumnious as well.

Thanks for watching!

I spotted one today, I’ll share it today in a post

very great

That looks like Amanira muscaria var. guessowii. That variety is more orange-yellow than the typical Amanita muscaria var. muscaria.
According to mushroomexpert.com:

[Amanita muscaria var. guessowii is] widely distributed in the northern Midwest (south to Illinois) and in northeastern North America (south to the Appalachians).

Wow this is so beautiful mushrooms, nice capture @orchu

Nice bhai

I am pretty sure it is still a fly agaric. they sometimes get a little washed out in the colours. that happen to other mushrooms as well if they are exposed to more (or less) than average light or water etc.

Really nice one indeed 😁 but yeah batter u dont eat it could end really bad 😁😅
Anyhow really nice blog u have there boss i will follow u up see ya around 😁👍
Welcome in #brosarmy

I have no idea what type it is, but it is really beautiful, I went to a couple of parks this morning looking for mushrooms but couldn't find a single one

They must pop up at some point ...

I think so will check again next weekend

It is an Aminita they are sometimes orange.

Good!

Excellent post, very well articulated. thank you so much.

I have only seen the dull beige ones but would love to see these in color like yours.
