Every fall, we get a ton of Amanita muscaria (fly agaric), and they’re stunning! They’re toxic, so no touching and no ingesting – just admiring 🙂

    Stunning indeed! At first, I thought it was a death cap which is in the same genus. Is this one also poisonous?

    Lovely and absolutely canonical. Have you checked for any caterpillars smoking a hookah?

    wow… they look just like the mushrooms you see in children’s stories and fairy tales

    Maybe not as toxic as you think… r/amanitamuscaria

  5. So lucky you get to admire these beauties up close!

    I love the spherical one. Will that pop open?

    We were hiking in Colorado and saw some almost the size of a bowling ball. Really cool looking.
