Spotted the first Amanitas of the year. These guys usually show up in late October or early November, never seen them so early. Perhaps our long, wet, cool spring this year fooled them into things it’s already Fall. If you’re wondering if this is a version of the iconic Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria var. formosa) I’m not sure. The bulb is more like the one for Amanita flavoconia, and at times I see ones that look like Amanita frostiana.
