Persicina or Muscaria?

[Eyespymushies]

Hi! I’m new here. I met these beauties in Colorado during my travels. They were the beginning of my obsession with Amanita Muscaria. Now that I’ve learned a bit more, I’m wondering if they are actually Amanita Persicina? I haven’t been able to find any info on whether Persicina can be found in Colorado. Thanks for any info you can provide!

Really lovely! Persicinas only grow in the southeastern US

Thank you! Is A. Persicina found in the NE? I’m in Vermont now, and I stumbled across these beauties under a spruce tree (I think). They are very orangey with tan-yellow veil remnants, and the stem is sort of cream colored. One of the caps is pretty large (almost the size of a tennis ball), and it hasn’t even opened up and flattened yet! Clearly the slugs love them. So exciting to encounter these beautiful spirits all the way up here in VT!

Hi I am in Vermont too. The yellow orange kind is Amanita Muscaria var. guessowii. They are psychoactive !
