Cheering-up toadstool...



Good Morning! Welcome to Weirdbeautiful. In honour of Autumn in place of a Cheering-up-bird today, we have a cheering-up toadstool. This is a Fly agaric, Amanita muscaria. The picture is by Tony Willis, who also took one of last week's pictures- the image of a Pied/ New Zealand fantail posted [HERE].

Autumn toadstool


(c) Victoria Neblik, 2009.
my best guess is that this slowly rotting toadstool is species of Coprinus, related to the Autumn toadstool Coprinus cinereus.
