Add CommentGrowing directly at the base of a large Pinus (taeda ?) They are the only two trees in the area, other tree are well outside of felling range by several hundred feet.

pigment on the umbo; however, I’ve never seen material of that species from Florida. This looks a good specimen from which we could try extract DNA and go for some sequencing. Doc, would that be OK with you?
Very best,

I pushed my knife blade 6 inches deep all the way around and tried to lift it whole but it was stuck, I will try harder next time.

which may be easier said than done. Judging from the thick prominent umbo and the possibility the stipe base was well buried in the soil, this may represent a taxon in the group Series Penetratrices http://www.amanitaceae.org/?series+Penetratrices . Mushrooms of this type may have stipe buried several inches beneath the surface.
