Hey Raquel, would you be so kind as to help me by adding this beautiful spotting to this mission: "Poisonous and Deadly Fungi"? I'd really appreciate it. :)
RaquelAntunes
Thanks Ivan I agree with both. I took this photo in the garden at my school :) In Portugal, this mushroom is known as green hemlock.

Agree with CorduneanVlad -- the first thing that came to mind and it seems to match the description of A. phalloides very well. Nice find! :) Great thing you just took some pictures and that was the maximum level of interaction; this is not a mushroom to play around with!
