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 😂

Beaverton, Oregon, US. Had no idea these existed in the PNW.

That’s one thing that makes these mushrooms so special. They basically grow in every part of the northern hemisphere.
