Do Amanita Muscaria toadstools grow in central Florida??

Post Reply New Topic

I've always wanted to see this awesome looking mushroom in real life but have never seen it. I've read that it grows in most temperate climates and that it can grow in northern florida but haven't read anything about it growing in central florida, or read anything about it NOT growing in central florida either. Technically central florida IS temperate though it is more subtropical temperate. So does anyone know if it does or does not grow here in central florida??
In case you don't know what mushroom I'm talking about, they are those "fairy tale" looking toadstools:

It has turned up in the Adult forum. Looks like a mod has moved it.

I am not allowed in the adult forum. Muscaria does grow farther north, I live about the same, south Louisiana, and the same does grow here, but the Pantherina version. A tiger gold with white dots.

I have mosty found them with pine roots, at the edge, pines but lots of sun, just after a long rain followed by cool and clear.
