Grey ringless amanita
Doc Duck

Grey ringless amanita (Amanita sp.)

This is one of the ringless, comb-edged Amanitas, possibly a "Snakeskin grisette" or a pale-colored variant of "Tawny grisette". Many of the ringless Amanitas are edible, but there are so many highly poisonous Amanitas that picking and eating even the edible ones is not recommended unless you're veeeery sure of your mushrooms. I'd be sure of one that looked like this here in Norway, but it has more look-alikes in North America so I just took a picture.

.... LOL I don't blame you Ann.... but you sure have a great picture of this amanita. It's really standing proudly, isn't it.

Well done lass.
