Visitors to Eklund Garden today were greeted by this mushroom growing near the base of the first retaining wall. I believe it is a species of Amanita, possibly Amanita muscarius, or Poison Fly Mushroom. So don't eat it!
Eklund Garden is located at 10 Oak Valley Road in Shelton, CT, near Hope Lake and the Recreation Path. The blue-blazed Paugussett Trail passes through the garden.
Volunteers are needed! See our sign-up page for more info.
I'm the Shelton Conservation Agent, sheltontrails.org webmistress, and a letterboxer & geocacher. These pursuits often take me out exploring in the field.
