Another interesting find from The North was this big mushroom. I found it really curious to be there. Yellow-orange Fly Agaric Mushroom (Amanita muscaria var. guessowii) Whooping Crane Summer Range, Wood Buffalo National Park, Northwest Territories, Canada. Ramsar site no. 240. They are still questioning the identification of this mushroom on the iNaturalist Site due to where it was found.
