Amanita Jacksonii Mushroom

Amanita Jacksonii Mushroom

Truly one of the coolest looking mushrooms I've ever seen.

Of all the mushrooms in this wild world, fungi in the Amanita genus are among the most beautiful. Some of the most dangerous mushrooms in the world are Amanitas. Most Amanita mushrooms are mycorrhizal, meaning that they partner with trees and plants. Amanita mushrooms are common in the forests of North America, where they pair up and trade resources with a wide array of deciduous and coniferous trees. Although some Amanita mushrooms are deadly poisonous, you do not need to fear handling them! The toxins in poisonous Amanitas are only dangerous when they’re consumed, so as long as you don’t eat it, you’re in good shape! This is one of the few that are edible.
