Learn how to spot a true Candy Cap in the wild. Here’s a hint, you may need to use your nose! While hoping the mushroom found in this video was a Candy Cap, it indeed was a trickster - Lactarius subflammeus group. #candycaps #foraging #mushroomeducation #mycology #nature #culinarymushrooms </video> <video> Amanita “warts” (Amanita pantherina) Description: Did you know that the white speckles, or warts, you see on Amanitas are in fact remnants of the morphology it took at the beginning of its life cycle? Irrespective of how the warts are formed on the mushroom (from the universal veil, not growing spontaneously out of the cap), they are still referred to as warts as an identifying feature in ID field guides. As a reminder, Jacqueline has found an Amanita pantherina, a toxic mushroom not to be eaten! #amanita #foraging #mushroomeducation #mycology #nature </video> <video> Amanita life cycle (Amanita pantherina) Description: Jacqueline explains a few of the different stages of the Amanita life cycle! It is important to learn how to properly identify a mushroom during all phases of their life cycle since the morphology of some species can change quite drastically over time. This mushroom is an Amanita pantherina, a toxic mushroom not to be eaten! #amanita #foraging #mushroomeducation #mycology #nature </video> <video> Giving Tuesday 2024 Description: This Giving Tuesday, join us in supporting two organizations committed to bridging the divide between humans and nature.
