Lately, we've been spending time in amongst the trees: a bit of climbing, some picking, foraging. Some looking up (them trees are tall). Some looking down. And that's when we spotted these. Their super-ultra-vivid red was so damn bright in the shadowy undergrowth. If ever nature was trying to tell you something.
These are gorgeous! One of my favorite books as a child was the Audobon Field Guide to Mushrooms.

Woooooooh, hold on there Neal: I don't think those are mushrooms.

Yes... Those are either called Amanita Muscarius or Amanita Pantherina... The second one can kill ya, and the first one makes you want to play like Alice in Wonderland... Carefull
