[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Amanita muscaria (also known by the English-language common name fly agaric or Fly Amanita) is a psychoactive agaric species of mushroom found commonly throughout much of the world. The quintessential toadstool, it is a large imposing white-gilled, white-spotted, usually deep red mushroom, one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture. Though it is generally considered poisonous, Amanita muscaria is otherwise famed for its hallucinogenic properties with its main psychoactive constituent being the compound muscimol.

Hi Lenka,
you made an interesting discovery and the photo does great justice to the coloured Amanita. You left the environment as it was which gives a natural background. Thanks also for the note. Well done!
Best egards,

Hello Lenka,
This is a fine capture of the Fly Agaric with good sharpness and excellent lighting to show it off well against the natural pine needle BG. Good simple composition too.
Well done and TFS!
Ivan
