Amanita Season

On our hike today we saw lots of amanita mushrooms.

Must be the season for amanitas here.

This one was a beauty.

In Oregon I see them in the fall.

But hey, it is the fall here.


Their habitat is the pine forest (some kind of long-needle pine).

They come up through the thick layer of pine needles under the trees.

How many amanitas do you see in this picture (click on it to enlarge)?

I see six.
