Field Notes

Description:

A robust red toadstool with white spots and white gills, this most well recognised of fungi of the northern hemisphere has been introduced to all other countries with exports of pine and deciduous trees. This is deadly poisonous but may give you a psychedelic high on the way out.

Habitat:

Under pines.

Notes:

Some creature seems to have had a nibble but there was no sign of it.
