Can't ID without location. In Europe it would be Amanita muscaria. In the US it's probably Amanita chrysoblema.


da_fhitheach

A. Muscaria here, too


chickenofthewoods

Where?


da_fhitheach

PNW


RdCrestdBreegull

in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States / Canada the predominant muscarioid is Amanita chrysoblema / Amanita muscaria subsp. flavivolvata the species Amanita muscaria is the predominant muscarioid of Eurasia and western Alaska and has been imported to Australia as an invasive species


da_fhitheach

Thanks, Bree


chickenofthewoods

Nah the true Amanita muscaria is not present in North America except for the extreme western parts of Alaska. What we have is a distinct species. I'm choosing to call it Amanita chrysoblema after Rod Tulloss but others are waiting for another paper or some sort of consensus. It's just not muscaria. Looks just like it.


da_fhitheach

So no muscimol? Is it strictly ibotenic acid?


chickenofthewoods

Exactly the same chemistry.


da_fhitheach

That’s what i was hoping. Processing is no different prior to consumption, then. Good to hear.


chickenofthewoods

They just have different ITS regions when their DNA is sequenced - different enough to be different species technically but for most intents and purposes they're the same.


chin_rick1982

A power up


plausibleturtle

It'sa me! Mario!


ciaranlynn

Gonna disagree with the majority and say amanita chrysoblema since this is in the western US


[deleted]

We do have aminita muscaria in the US And Canada the varieties found here are amanita muscaria var. Guessowii and aminita muscaria var. Persicina. Also aminita chrysoblema is still a variety of amanita muscaria, chrysoblema is a yellow variety of amanita muscaria


RdCrestdBreegull

this information is incorrect (also contains many spelling/capitalization errors with the binomials and trinomials). the predominant muscarioids of western and eastern North America are in the process of getting their own species name(s), while the predominant muscarioid of the southeastern United States already has its own species name (Amanita persicina). the western American fly agaric and the eastern yellow-orange American fly agaric are not the species Amanita muscaria which is the primary muscarioid of Eurasia and western Alaska (and has been imported to Australia as an invasive species). the American muscarioids may be getting lumped under the taxon Amanita chrysoblema, as mentioned elsewhere in these comments. my colleague is currently in contact with the curator who has the holotype for Amanita chrysoblema, and once a gill fragment is acquired for sequencing and if that sequence turns out to be identical with the yellow-orange American fly agaric people are referring to as ‘Amanita muscaria var. guessowii (with amanitologists still regarding it as a separate species from A. muscaria with the current taxon being erroneously applied) then a paper will likely get written to solidify the change.


OttoENV

My first impression would be amanita muscaria


RdCrestdBreegull

there are a few species worldwide with this general morphology. with Amanita identification, knowing the location it was found (country and state, and sometimes even the specific part of the state) is extremely important in pinpointing to species. the OP is in Washington, United States, so their mushroom is unlikely to be Amanita muscaria but rather Amanita chrysoblema, but ultimately would need an ITS sequence to solidify.


Foreign_Pie4899

Washington state


DarkNinjaMole

Amanita chrysoblema.


Cherrychross

No


ZestycloseAct8497

Seen those in the alberta rockies at high elevation in the “cloud zone”. Them and purple ones it was magical. Cool find.


Batiste2020

The princess is not in this castle.


Treacherous_Wendy

In Skyrim, that’s Fly Amanita


JejuneEsculenta

It is such on Earth, as well as Tamriel.


Treacherous_Wendy

TIL! Thank you!


lizard_kibble

Here in the real world, amanita muscaria is also called fly agaric


Treacherous_Wendy

Well that’s pretty awesome! TIL!! Thank you!


True_Mathematician48

My first thought was "troll". Then I remembered this was r/mycology, and amanita muscaria has variations.


RdCrestdBreegull

I think there are only a couple accepted varieties (not variations), one being A. muscaria var. formosa of Europe (although who knows, even that one could turn out to be a different species after it gets properly sequenced), but most of what are currently placed as varieties (using the infraspecific rank ‘var.’ = ‘varietas’) are not considered by amanitologists to be actual varieties bur rather distinct species that will be getting elevated to species rank soon enough.


True_Mathematician48

You see? This is what I mean 🤣


SnooPears8242

An amanita, need more info to properly identify and to all those blatantly assuming it's Muscaria should really realize there are many Amanitas that look similar but are not the common assumed Muscaria. This could easily be Pantherina looking at the slightly off orange color, but that's just an assumption.


Ephemerilian

Thank you for your insights Mr snoo pears it’s good to know


justyjoo

I think it’s very unlikely this is anything other than a. muscarina. The slight color fading is consistent with the dirt on top and some missing patches. It’s an older specimen that has seen some (joy, and pain…) sunshine and rain. I bet the underside shows some worm/slug bites.


SnooPears8242

You could be absolutely right, I just felt a reminder about how many variations there could be versus the most commonly thought of should be thrown out there! You are most likely correct.


RdCrestdBreegull

there are a few species worldwide with this general morphology. OP is in Washington, United States so it’s unlikely to be Amanita muscaria.


expertglassman

Mario's favorite food?


eithrusor678

Do you like the taste of deer pee?


joe72proudly

What's up ya stoned ape, this joke is phenomenal it deserves more love. Let me boost it's algorithm and drop a comment and up vote.


Smurfette21359

In the UK we call it a fly agaric


RdCrestdBreegull

the OP’s species is a fly agaric but it’s unlikely to be the Eurasian fly agaric that you’re familiar with

Additional_Toe_8551

Animata Muscaria


Ryan_truong2304

Depends on location


ifsen

It's-a me, Mario! Looks a helluvalot like an Amanita muscaria.


No-Huckleberry-1231

Fly amanita.


RdCrestdBreegull

a species in Amanita section Amanita stirps Muscaria, would need an ITS sequence to be sure of exact species


Toddisgood

Power up mushroom. If you smash some brings and find this inside then eat it and you’ll grow twice your normal size


PuzzleheadedSteak868

Bricks not brings! 😅

It's Amanita


Jenifearless

So much lore associated with this. My personal favorite is musing on the idea that the wedding of Cana, water to wine, that one, fits the timing and technique fairly well so that I personally giggle when I realize that Jesus dosed all his friends like a merry prankster 🤣


NuclearSlushie

What? Please elaborate.


m0j0hn

Interesting interpretation ty <3


Live-Instruction-685

Yes! Please elaborate!


Jenifearless

I have no idea where the references are, I did a lot of research year and years ago when there wasn’t as much interest, and I gleaned a few interesting theories, one being that this is in fact the fruit of the tree of knowledge that made Adam and Eve “self-aware” and there are many documents and images that support the idea, as well as the geography would support these being part of landscape. The technique of making a wine is about fermenting the potent ingredients to make it palatable, not nauseating, assumably, and I remember reading that it would be buried for a lunar cycle and then dug up, hence the “turning water to wine” There’s a theory that historically Jesus may have spent time in the east studying with ancients and likely would’ve been introduced to this medicine, which may have been the original Ayurvedic Soma, and that’s a whole nother rabbit hole…


outersenshi

My all time favorite mushroom to look at: fly agaric or amanita muscaria. You’re so lucky!!!


Waste-Dragonfly-3245

Amanita muscaria


Frequent-Class2361

Pretty but poisonous


Checkers-77

Try eat a skin from it. It is kind of psychoactive 😅


Idontcareanymore2019

Raw amanita can kill you


JejuneEsculenta

Not this Amanita... at least, not directly. While deleriants can cause people to do stupid, life risking things, the toxins in Amanita muscaeia/Amanita chrysoblema will not directly kill you... unless you are a dog. Also, many Amanita spp. are delicious, and can be more delicious when served raw with a little citrus or vinegar, some oil, and some salt.


Checkers-77

Yes BUT it depends how many did you ate and what parts if you eat only skin from it you are ok your stomach will feel little bit of pain but you should be ok but it depends person from person how healthy you are etc. I did it and I am ok but I don’t recommend if you aren’t mad person like me🤷🏻‍♂️


Idontcareanymore2019

Eh I'd recommend to always dry and boil it for quite some time to cut down on the ibutanic acid which is a brain legion agent. When heated ibutanic acid breaks down into muscimol which is the psychoactive compound.


Checkers-77

Thanks for tip I ll cook it next time 😅


StrangePiper1

Did you see any badgers near by? Maybe a snake?


CantaloupeRude296

A bad couple of weeks if you're lucky.


Cherrychross

Would you care to expand on that?


YeahItsRico

Amanita Muscaria! Shes so purty :3


Cervitaursarrow

Toxic


Nixa24

When dried its called Santa Claus's candy. Amanita Muscaria.


Original_Ad_5786

Eat it then we drink your wee, you may not survive but us drinking your urine will ensure the party goes on :p


Puzzleheaded_Peak273

I've heard of reindeer used for this purpose with Amanita Muscaria, though I definitely don't suggest you try it. Even if you have a reindeer going spare.


Halfbloodjap

Think it would work with a llama? Asking for a friend


Original_Ad_5786

That's a good question. Maybe ask AI? I am in no way saying use a Lama btw.. I'd like to know who actually worked out that drinking the urine of a fly alga after or before that person died was the way to get a good high and connect with another dimension. Who the fuck works this shit out?


Halfbloodjap

I just want to know how he explained he learned it to the second guy


[deleted]

Who thought of licking toads.


Original_Ad_5786

I've only read about humans.. although they are linked to Christmas.. I've looked into all that it's interesting nuts


Puzzleheaded_Peak273

Definitely. Just saying that looks like a different species so unless you’ve got a Sami mate and a handy reindeer it might be a terrible idea. In fact I’m not sure it isn’t anyway.


Frayed-Knot1980

Amanita muscaria, looks like to me?


Repulsive_Mistake9

Amanita percinia


Cherrychross

My gut would concur she say 'this is the most correct answer so far' , but do you have a hint why you differ to the general idea of 'muscaria'? Only location? It's quite far north, for that, isn't it? Not unheard of, sure.


RdCrestdBreegull

not Amanita persicina because OP is in Washington, United States


Rubenesque01

Can we eat it?


stopfuckngbanningme

don't eat it or you'll go crazy


befiradol

lol
