Cord. Do "regular oval/flat" mushrooms invert their caps when they get old? I was thinking this was a cup type?-
Many thanks, I will look for younger spec. & post additional pics to help w/ID.
Some sort of Amanita sp.
The fact that this is an old specimen and it has lost it's color makes me think that this is Amanita pantherina.
