I'm extremely careful when it comes to mushrooms, especially those I picked myself as I'm not an experienced mushroom hunter at all.

However, I have done some reading on A. Muscaria a while ago and I've learned that A. Muscaria shouldn't be too hard to identify, and that the white warts can be washed off by rain, it has been raining quite a lot lately, and some of the other caps (that I discarded of due to rotting), still had a some white warts.

Orange/red(ish) caps w/o white warts could be Amanita caesarea too, but those look very different from what I have here. (A. Caesarea aren't poisenous)

Don't worry, I won't ingest anything unless I'm 100% sure that I identifyed it correctly.

EDIT: My mother has seen some bright red Fly Agaric mushrooms WITH white warts on them, but she can't recall the exact place, however it was close to my discoveries, I will search for them maybe tomorrow.

EDIT 2: Okay it seems that my last cap isn't too healthy now too, small snail-like insects are apparently living on it. O well I guess I'll throw this one away too. Too much doubts anyway. I hope to have some luck finding the obvious A. Muscarias my mother saw a few days ago.

[QUOTE="F40PH, post: 3388633, member: 6347"] I'm extremely careful when it comes to mushrooms, especially those I picked myself as I'm not an experienced mushroom hunter at all. However, I have done some reading on A. Muscaria a while ago and I've learned that A. Muscaria shouldn't be too hard to identify, and that the white warts can be washed off by rain, it has been raining quite a lot lately, and some of the other caps (that I discarded of due to rotting), still had a some white warts. Orange/red(ish) caps w/o white warts could be Amanita caesarea too, but those look very different from what I have here. (A. Caesarea aren't poisenous) Don't worry, I won't ingest anything unless I'm 100% sure that I identifyed it correctly. EDIT: My mother has seen some bright red Fly Agaric mushrooms WITH white warts on them, but she can't recall the exact place, however it was close to my discoveries, I will search for them maybe tomorrow. EDIT 2: Okay it seems that my last cap isn't too healthy now too, small snail-like insects are apparently living on it. O well I guess I'll throw this one away too. Too much doubts anyway.
