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?
