A little trio of Amanita sporocarps. I've keyed this to Amanita velatipes, but I'm not convinced that I'm right. This looks very much like Amanita pantherina, but that particular fungus is not supposed to live in Minnesota, where this image was taken. If anyone out there who comes across this would like to weigh in (particularly if you're an Amanita expert), please do. Oh, if you come across a fungus that looks like this one, I would recommend not eating it. Take its picture and just move along. Even though this might not be one of the most poisonous fungi in the woods, why take any chances? If you can't identify it, and you don't know for certain if it's poisonous, don't eat it.
