A Habitat Photo Showing An Amanita muscaria Family. These mushrooms seem to like being in close company with either horse-chestnut or oak trees. Although poisonous to humans many seem to have been pulled up and nibbled on by introduced Eastern Grey Squirrels, Sciurus carolinensis.

The Fly agaric

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.
