where does amanita muscaria grow in the us
Amanita muscaria Amanita muscaria is a cosmopolitan mushroom, native to conifer and deciduous woodlands throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere,[21] including higher elevations of warmer latitudes in regions such as Hindu Kush, the Mediterranean and also Central America. A recent molecular study proposes that it had an ancestral origin in the Siberian–Beringian region in the Tertiary period, before radiating outwards across Asia, Europe and North America.[21] The season for fruiting varies in different climates: fruiting occurs in summer and autumn across most of North America, but later in autumn and early winter on the Pacific coast. This species is often found in similar locations to Boletus edulis, and may appear in fairy rings.[35] Conveyed with pine seedlings, it has been widely transported into the southern hemisphere, including Australia,[36] New Zealand,[37] South Africa[38] and South America, where it can be found in the southern Brazilian states of Paraná[21] and Rio Grande do Sul.[39]
Pecan Pecans were one of the most recently domesticated major crops. Although wild pecans were well known among native and colonial Americans as a delicacy, the commercial growing of pecans in the United States did not begin until the 1880s.[11] As of 2010, the U.S. produces between 80% and 95% of the world's pecans, with an annual crop of 150â€“200 thousand tons[12] from more than 10 million trees.[13] The nut harvest for growers is typically around mid-October. Historically, the leading pecan-producing state in the U.S. has been Georgia, followed by New Mexico,<refhttp://krqe.com/2017/09/18/push-in-congress-could-help-new-mexico-pecan-farmers/></ref> Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, the largest orchard being Stahmann Farms in south-central New Mexico;[14] pecans are also grown in Alabama, California, Florida, Arkansas, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Hawaii. Outside the United States, pecans are grown in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Israel, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa. They can be grown from USDA hardiness zones approximately 5 to 9, provided summers are also hot and humid.
