Fly Agaric Mushroom
St Arnaud: Fly Agaric Mushroom
This is a great big, bright, poisonous mushroom. Remains of the universal veil characteristic of Amanita mushrooms can be seen at the base of the stem and in the white tufted remnants on the red cap. Note: This is not necessarily easy to see on all Amanita mushrooms.
