Fly Agraric in Heeswijk-Dinther
Such a classic autumn scene. This one looks a little bit beat up. Note that the famous white "dots" are very fragile, they are not part of the texture of the fungi itself, they are remains of the "casing" it had when it was still below the ground. As such, some rain can wash away the dots. On this photo, you can see how many have been drifted away to the edges.
Time-lapse video (not by me):
Amanita muscaria is a poisonous and psychoactive basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita. Native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Amanita muscaria has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the southern hemisphere, generally as a symbiont with pine plantations, and is now a true cosmopolitan species.
