[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
The FLY AGARIC (Amanita muscaria) larger and is coloured than other mushrooms.
As other species of Amiantacée among which some are mortals, the fly agaric emerges initially like a button and glaze by a universal membrane or a veil. At this stage, the fly agaric is primarily similar to the other amanitas mortals and there is a serious danger to confuse these species. The consequences can be fatal. During the growth of mushroom, the veil tears, leaves a ring at the base of the stem and reveals a coloured hat which can go from the yellow to the sharp red while passing by the pink. White plates similar to warts push on the hat and there is an outgrowth at the base of the stem which one calls volva. Even if the squirrels and other rodents often nourish fly agarics, that does not mean that the human ones can consume these mushrooms.
