whether or not you are fascinated by fungi, Fly Agaric is recognizable to most people...once used as an insecticide, small bits of the cap floating in milk would attract and kill flies, hence the name

Tried drying these way back in hippy days hoping for a cheap 'trip' and flies died in their dozens :-)

Great image of this amanita! Somewhere there's a little creature nearby flying high...

Such vivid colors, perhaps a sign it is poisonous. V

I saw one of these just the other day and was wondering about it...fascinating info. I guess not for human consumption either. V

Fantastic shot of this gorgeous mushroom. Oddly, slugs and snails and other critters can eat it but if we did...! V

Like the details, lighting and colors in this image. In German it's called Fliegenpilz = Fly Mushroom.
