Amazing Mushrooms

As I brush up on mushrooms, anticipating the fungal foray at the end of this month, I have gone on a few self-guided and one group mushroom walk in the last week.  I have seen some pretty interesting mushrooms around, but nothing as spectacular as the grove I found at Clark Wright Conservation Area in Strathroy today.

The rain over the last couple days made for excellent growing conditions.  Get out there and see them while you can!

Large (caps up to 20 cm diameter) Amanitas


This one is for scale... you can see that these Amanitas are enormous. 

Here's another (slightly out of focus) so you can see the scale. 
Here is a map to the location, in case you would like to check them out yourself:
