Amanita muscaria


Amanita muscaria

My lane is named after this prolific beauty. I wish I had found a better specimen to show. The classic bright little mushroom, don't be taken in, the white scale is pure arsenic.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you all like. I really wanted to find a better one but no time. :-) It is Fly Agaric Morgana. I think it is one of the most beautiful mushrooms I've ever seen, and really common under the poplar in August. Puts a few people in the hospital every year though seldom death. I'm sure the name similarity doesn't discredit your lovely nature Anita. :-)
