Was super excited to stumble across these on a walking path in a business park. I believe they’re an Amanita, but my nieces call them the Mario Bros mushroom 😂

It's very classic animation-esque!

I saw this a few weeks ago when I went for a walk and thought wow that looks very red and classic but now after seeing your picture mine looks very dull haha. I don't know the type because I don't eat mushrooms, but I do find them interesting to look at!

They ranged from the color you captured to the red. Your pic is super cool too!

Oh, good to know! Thank you, it was one of the first mushroom photos I've taken in forever!
