August 18th, 2012. I mentioned before that I was delighted to see the volvas
on the American Caesar’s (Amanita jacksonii) mushrooms this year when I’d never
seen them before. We were driving down Oscar Walton Road when I spotted two
sentinel…
American Caesar’s mushrooms on an
embankment beside the road. They were beautifully colored.
The
volva was quite evident on the mushroom on the right. When
I photographed them, I noticed two more amanitas on the…
top
of the embankment nearby. They weren’t quite as photogenic as the first two
but…
The
volvas on each was clearly visible and the cap on the mushroom on the left had just
‘cleared’ its volva.
