    I have a film photo of one of these I took years ago in Sweden. First time I had ever seen a red pokka dotted mushroom like that. I wondered what it was, and if it was poisionous. I have to research what you think it is.. You may have answered one of my life mysteries! :0)))))

  • mikebov

    Thanks Mary, I have had it confirmed as a Fly Agaric,

    Thank-you for showing this photo. I find it a very amazing picture as a lot of other comments have suggested. And yes I agree the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ type feel is very … attractive. However the focus and frame of the photo is what really brings out the quality of expression. I guess I am saying well done I like it; in a long winded way.

    thanks for your very generous comment
