I think you call this fungi Amanita muscaria or Fly agaric This conspicuous red or orange-red toadstool with a cap that is speckled with white warty lumps is very poisonous if eaten. It is an introduced species.
It is found where birches, oaks, pines, and native beech grow Not found usually found in other native bush, but in recent years there have been instances of it being found in native bush probably introduced there through human activity .
i have found alot around parts of our school
When this Amanita comes up, it first appears as a rough white ball, with no sign of the red colour that the mushroom is known for. As the mushroom develops further, the cap appears as a red ball with white fragments of the veil covering remaining on it.The cap continues to expand, and given ideal growing conditions, can achieve a diameter of over 30 cm.
Not only does it kill flies, but it is also poisonous for humans. |

Belle et intéressante composition photographique pour ces superbes champignons. La masse sombre de l'arbre ŕ gauche est un peu imposante.
Interesting & Well Done !
