Amanita muscaria aka Fly Agaric


Today, after some rainy and foggy day, I decided to take a walk and go to the forest search for some new wildlife, mainly mushrooms! This is a perfect time of the year to find a huge variety of mushrooms, and the best is that, they are gorgeous, easy to find and the best of all, they wont run nor fly away from your camera!
This mushroom is for sure one of my favorites. I’ve always loved it, and all from its family, but more this one! It looks so gorgeous and so magical! So this was a successful day, to collect some pictures of some mushrooms to do some sets! :)
Also this mushrooms makes me remember the houses of the Gnomes, and in all cartoons or shows that appear gnomes, they appear mostly on these mushrooms! I didn’t find any Gnome, If you find any, just let me know! ;)

About the mushroom:
This mushroom is Poisonous and mainly all the mushrooms that I’ve posted till now, are too! So don’t say yummy, when you can die easily only with just one bite!
Remember, mushrooms must be good to eat, but try to eat mushrooms that are collected from experts and not those that you see in somewhere!
This mushroom is very common

i told you not to bite the mushroom now i have to take you to the hospital and do a drug test :D onlymehdi · 2009-11-23: 16:16

Just a wonderful set, Ricky.....such great color and lovely detail!! Next time I'd like to see a gnome, though....can you look a little harder? ;)) lookagain · 2009-11-24: 13:30

Wonderful pictures. The first one looks like a coconut ice cream. I'm wondering about the one who bites the other mushrooms. I hope it isn't you. noptek · 2009-11-24: 13:51

JUST BEAUTIFUL! ????? · 2009-11-27: 04:24

Cute :) There are ways to prepare and eat the red poisonous ones - apparently ;) Polish highlanders have some ideas how to boil it... it's said to be hallucinogenous too... but don't try this at home! :) okami · 2009-11-29: 02:18

Cooool photos! :) BlasiusW · 2009-12-03: 16:32
