Amanitas!

This is a beautiful specimen of Amanita flavoconia (Yellow Patches) that I found in Clarion, Pa this past fall. The cap is yellow & darkens toward the center to an orange tone.  The scales and the stalk are a brilliant yellow.  The flesh inside the mushroom is white, as are the gills and the spore print.

This is another amanita I found in Clarion on the same day.  This one is an Amanita Rubescens (The Blusher)  You can see a button form of the mushroom and a mature specimen. It was a beautiful rust-red color fading to beige nearing the margin of the cap.
