Field Notes

Description:

Like the mushrooms from out of a fairy tale...the white spots are concentrated around the periphery. Sorry no gill shots.
Looks so attractive but looks are deceptive...this one is poisonous.

Habitat:

Woodland bordering one of the lochs in Scotland.

Notes:

Had wanted to see one of these ever since I was a child...FINALLY!
