Description
Just back from a couple of days away with friends. We were in Bandon on the Oregon coast, where we stayed in a yurt at Bullard's Beach State Park. It was rainy, windy & cold almost the entire time, but fun anyway. Found a couple of interesting mushrooms growing just a few feet from our yurt. This was the first one - it was pretty large (about 7" in diameter or so) & I thought it looked a little like a pizza. Not it's real name of course - if there are any mycologists out there who can enlighten me as to exactly what kind of mushroom this is, I'd appreciate it. I'll post the other one (completely different species) tomorrow...

Amanita muscaria, a very hallucinogenic one indeed, also very deadly if to much is eaten... Beautiful find!!!!! How did the yurt hold up in the wind & rain????

ooooh, yummmy
Yes, as nongo says: Amanita Muscaria or Fly Agaric - and this one's poisonous. It's also the fungi you associate with Gnomes as they are often depicted sitting on this variety. Loved by reindeer, (so much so that you can get yourself a herd of them simply by scattering this fungi on the ground,) and consumed by the Lapps for its halucinogenic properties.
