A deadly gift

Not the title of a crime thriller (well i guess it may have been) but a great gift from a fellow enthusiast who knows i'm keen to find one.

Amanita phalloides "The Death Cap" Tis a fine gift for all hallows eve.







Found within a few miles of my house under fagus, so i'm going to be heading that way over the next few weeks to see if i can find one.

Surprisingly pleasant smell for something that could kill you. I wonder what happened to the slug that munched the cap?
