Description

Thanks for viewing !! :o) - Last one... now i have to check my archives *sigh* Amanitas pantherina The Panther mushroom (Amanitas pantherina) is a species of Amanita, a genus that features some of the deadliest mushrooms in the world. Description A. pantherina has a pale orange-brown pileus (cap) bearing small white warts and between 5 and 15 cm in diameter. In younger specimens the cap is domed, becoming flatter with age. The upper remains of the velum form a ring around the cap margin. The stipe (stem) grows to a length of between 6-10 cm and between 1-2.5 cm in diameter. The lower remains of the velum form a volva (sheath) around the basal bulb. The white spores are smooth, elliptical, non-amyloid and 9.5-13 x 7-9.5

One of the most beautiful of the Amanitas family ! and a splendid shot ! He seems a giant in the forest with your POV ! Why the most toxic mushrooms are so toxic ??? it's a pity !!!! for who love to eat them... but always a gift to see them ! How many time have you spend in the forest to find all these mushrooms Jeroen ? Fantastic serie, I love all of them !!! V
