Real autumn and surprising mushrooms. In Russian this mushroom "muhomor" - "death of the flies". Very dangerous and poisonous.

Ik ben JALOERS!!! In mijn hele leven, en dat is toch al meer dan een halve eeuw, heb ik echt nog nooit een "rood met witte stippen" gezien. Verlos me uit mijn lijden Gerard en zeg me..."Waar, o waar staan deze beauties??" (Of ben ik nu al weer te laat?)

Thank you all for your visit and nice comments and Anja, ik heb deze vlioegenzwammen gevonden in grasland in de directe nabijheid van b.v. berk, beuk eik of dennenboom. Succes met je zoektocht. :-)

Nou Gerard, daar heb ik wat aan.... heb je ook de juiste coördinaten voor me of moet ik in Groningen beginnen en in Limburg eindigen :o( In elk geval bedankt voor je reactie hoor. Ik ga van het weekend maar eens even een zoektocht organiseren.

Helaas Anja, Ik ben direct naar de plek gegaan waar ik ze heb gezien maar helaas, er was een overijverige tuinman bezig geweest. Allemaal weg, hij had er gemaaid. Mocht ik er nog tegenkomen laat ik het je weten, met coordinaten en al erbij .:-)

Gerard, is this the MAgic Mushroom? i have never seen one!
Shenresi said at 3:41 a.m. on Oct 11, 2008:
wonderful shots, Gerard of that fly agaric. I like the last shot very much, because you feel little like an ant and look high to that mushroom, big as a tree!!!

Thank you all, Pam the only "magic Mushrooms "that I've heard off are the one that are ussed as a drug; Psilocybin and psilocyn are the hallucinogenic principles contained in certain mushrooms. These “magic” mushrooms are generally grown in Mexico and Central America and have been used in native rituals for thousands of years. Psilocybin is structurally similar to serotonin, and produces its effects by disrupting normal functioning of the serotonin system. In holland you can buy them in the so called "smart shops"
The fly Amanita is a toadstool that you can find here in Holland very often and we have here a childsong about this toad with a gnome.
For more info about this toadstool, follow the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria
Have a nice weekend.:-)
