Must be my day!

Wow. Wish I had a camera! Who'd think I'd get so lucky as to ID _TWO_ types of mushrooms I hadn't seen before in a single day. First I found the panaeolus species and now, at lunch time, I found a whole mess of Amanita Phalloides AKA the Destroying Angel; The Death Cap; Destroyer of Worlds, and so on.

They're really quite beautiful. Pristine white eggsack that the fruiting body has burst from. The caps are bright yellow-green right now. Except for being the most deadly mushroom IN THE WORLD, they're really quite beautiful.

I mentioned them to a local mycologist I've been talking to. Maybe he'll take a few photos for us. :)

I'm back from Vegas now, and I have a camera, and I specalize in macro photography. So I could do it...
