Description

We found this hallucinogenic mushroom in front of Denny Hall in the grass under Douglas Fir trees. Apparently, these are the only trees it grows near. This may mean they have a symbiotic relationship. This was also seen east of rainier vista in a grassy knoll by the meal trucks.

Description

The slugs were chowing down on these Amanita fungi but they are poison for humans.

I think this is the pantherina species.

Amanita pantherina var. pantherina, also known as the "European Panther" and "False Blusher" due to its similarity to the true Blusher (Amanita rubescens), is a species of Europe and western Asia. Material described as A. pantherina in the Americas seems to belong to a number of distinct taxa only some of which have been described.
