Coker’s Amanita (Amanita cokeri). A mycorrhizal mushroom, meaning they will share a symbiotic relationship, or mutually beneficial relationship, with hardwoods and conifers. Growing in the soil under the trees that they benefit and receive benefit from. They’ll grow singly or together in groups.

Coker’s Amanitas can be found in eastern US and in the Southeast in particular. Its white cap, which is covered with many pointed bumps, can grow to be six inches across.

I love to find mushrooms in the woods, to capture them in pixels.

This blog gives no information about the edibility or toxicity of any of the mushrooms that are written about.
