365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Amanita Muscaria
Day 362: Easily one of the most recognizable mushrooms in the world, Amanita muscaria's bright red cap has lent itself to countless cartoon representations of what a "toadstool" looks like. So what's the difference between a mushroom and a toadstool? Some people use "toadstool" to describe poisonous species like our little friend here, but you would be equally correct if you referred to A. muscaria as a "mushroom."
