Magic Mushrooms
To my surprise, these fly amanitas grew in my neighborhood!
It's really uncommon because there aren't any large forests here and the countryside is generally used very heavily for agriculture. However, when I took a walk there were four large beech trees near a lake and apparently that is all it takes for these beautiful but deadly mushrooms to grow! I guess the leaves of the deciduous trees provide a wet and rich fertile ground for mushrooms to grow and reproduce.
The white spots can wash off in heavy rain, so don't confuse these with other mushrooms!
Did you know that some Saami in Scandinavia drink the urine of reindeer who get fed with these mushrooms? Apparently it causes no harm to the reindeer and is less toxic for humans after the animals excrete it. A natural, but very effective way to get high... But don't try this at home ;)
The most iconic fungus! Really neat that you found these growing locally! I didn't know there was such variation in the shapes of the caps, how cool :)
indeed ;)
ew. Although are these not a magic mushroom? Does one have to drink reindeer urine to get high from them? I know nothing about mushrooms, but these beauties pop up in steem posts now and then.
yeah you arr right, magic mushrooms are somewhat different; I named it this way because if you drink reindeer urine they definitely become magical ;)

actually they are fly agaric 😅 I called them magic because of their depiction and effects
excellent images, very good use of the focus effect.
