Hello there friends. I am still on spring break. I can't do much field wise, but I have taken this time to sit and begin to render some of my specimens and pictures I have taken. This is called a "death cap" scientifically known as the Amanita sp. The sp. means that the particular species is kind of a toss up. This particular mushrooms is not edible. Remember, I cam across this on March 1, 2019 the second time I went to the Abacoa Greenway. This particular photograph was snapped at 10:46 AM. The resulting rendering is as follows. When it came down to rendering, I forgot my burnt sienna watercolor. To make lemonade out of lemons, I tried my best to recreate the color with burn umber, yellow ochre, a touch of lemon yellow, crimson red, and white water color. Naturally, I couldn’t quite get the color I wanted. Compared to the photo, the fungi looks pretty good I’d say, but the color matching is horrendous. Will I redo this one? Probably. I do like this, but for symposium, I think I'm going to go with the mushroom.
