If you go out in the woods today
you're sure of a big surprise...
I couldn't resist this!
Yikes!
look at these toadstools
bright orange
these mushrooms are poisonous...
I was able to determine their name by googling images
these are amanita muscaria
flat topped and spotty
looks
like a space station
beneath the shrubbery!
these images were captured a few blocks from the Bungalow
not in the woods or the forest
Never eat mushrooms from the wild unless you know for a fact that they are not toxic
every year people die from eating poisonous mushrooms.

Also know as Deathcap. Right? yikes....
LPC-Very scary...and a few had bite marks...maybe some deer are feeling poorly...
Have you taken the pictures on the same day? I have never seen so many at the same time! Yes, I know that they are not to be collected, but they are cute!!
metscan-Yes...they were taken all within a few minutes of each other!
I have never seen these so close to home before...
and there were quite a few in the same location that had bites out of them that I did not photograph.
These mushrooms remind me of storybook illustrations.
Shame something so pretty is deadly.

Hi,
Talk about great minds running in the same circle...check out my post today. I think you will be amused.(-: Yours however are real and just amazing!
despite being poisonous they are quite attractive...
Anne-Marie-They do look pretty and their orange hue makes them stand out they're almost tempting...the ones that had bite marks made me wonder what animal might have tasted them.
LaVieQuotidienne-I commented on your mushrooms on your blog!
Faux Fuchsia-It is interesting that something in nature can be so beautiful and yet so toxic.
I have a friend who had an experience with this mushroom. She didn't eat it; but they cut one open, and the knife wasn't washed.
