Amanita muscaria... by vignouse

Amanita muscaria...

...commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita.

This is the mushroom that everyone knows - the 'fairy toadstool'. It's poisonous but people still eat it for its hallucogenic properties - it's a 'magic mushroom'!

It would make a much better photograph if they grew in threes - and preferably in three different sizes - but, unfortunately, they tend to be solitary... they do in my part of the world anyway!
Beautiful picture. It is such a perfect mushroom!

Wow! I have never seen a mushroom like this. I had to go look it up and read about it. What a great pop of color!

Just the one still makes a great image. Maybe you could get three fairies to dance under it.
