Amy...Wonderful capture of mature Amanita Muscaria (aka:fly agaric)...although horribly tough on the liver and a beauty to behold though deemed poisonous, this mushroom claimed its fame in the days of prohibition...it was the closest thing to alcohol in its day ;)

Thanks Alexandria, I knew it was poisonous, hence the title...it is both beautiful and a beast! Thanks for stopping by!
