Fairytale Fungi
Fairytale Fungi
Fly Agaric or Amanita muscaria is a distinctive fungus, with luscious red caps with white spots. It’s the fairytale fungus you see in children’s books. It’s quite common in gardens, growing with pines and oaks and birches, but it’s also escaped into native forest, where it’s a fungal weed in the Myrtle Beech Rainforests of Tasmania.
Myrtle Grove Forest Park, on way to Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

Another wonderful shot Marilyn! I actually saw my very first one of these in NZ. Nearly fell over myself to get to it. Love the slippery-slide smoothness on the top of this one.

Even before I saw your title, I was thinking of “fairytale”! That vermilion red is brilliant.
