Amanita sp.
Cup type with orange top Gills were close & came all the way to top edge of cap Stalk central
Red clay hillside in Cushing Mem. Park in Canton, Ga 30114 Light rain yesterday
I could not positively ID from my Nat Audubon Soc Field Guide to N A Mushrooms, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Also any iPhone apps or web sites that help ID... PS pics #3,4,&5 are taken on 7/26/13 at same location but showing different stages of growth.
It's likely to be an amanita, but the wrong time of year for muscaria.
True cup mushrooms do not have a stem/gills, and yes, many mushrooms flatten or even cup with age
Hummm, why is this not a type of Cup room? Do mushrooms invert themselves when older?
When I look up Amanita I see listing for 18 types & lots more on scientific listings?
I am a neophyte when it comes mushroom IDs, so thanks for any help!
Looks like an Amanita from the ring on the stem and the radial lines on the cap.
