Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita, 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. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees.

Here is Fly Amanita toadstool. It's a pretty popular toadstool and seems to be the common depiction for most toadstools as well with its lovely red and white spotted design!

It's believed to be poisonous though is mostly known for giving people hallucinations if consumed. Careful of these toadstools - they may look beautiful but they're actually quite harmful!

Dang, best be wary of the these mushrooms! :O

I've never seen one of these mushrooms before, but they do look quite beautiful. I guess that red on the toadstool might stand as a warning colour. :0

I bet he is! That colourful design and heck, even the white mushroom stalk resembles the pants he wears.

Toad's name even comes from toadstool. XD
