Let's do the Mash potato, er.... Mushroom!

This is a Milk Bar on Route B-4 in Niedersachsen (Northern) Germany

what I like about this picture is the *Fliegenpiltz* also known as the

AMANITA MUSCARIA*

I would give (almost) anything to stumble across this mushroom in the

woods.

That pretty little white mushroom with the stunning bright red hat full

of little white dots!

It's magical, and everytime I see this mushroom, I think of Alice in

Wonderland!

The Amanita Muscaria is widely regarded as toxic, but the woman in this

picture says she prepares these mushrooms in a way that reduces toxicity.

Boy oh boy, I wouldn't like to be her enemy. I mean to say, those mushies

are deadly!

This one I saw in France a few weeks ago, it looked like an

orange coloured bath sponge - on the pic it looks yellow-ish.

These are tightly nestled in a tree stump - seen last Sunday on our walk

in a nearby forest not far from home.

I almost stumbled and fell over these in the

same forest.

Here a small and a large mushroom sits happily together on the

edge of the little stream.
