This fungus (Amanita muscaria) was used to kill flies. Its skin is poisonous and halucinogene (spelling?).

Fantastic Image Birdie......Like your touch of green at the bottom of photo...... #109137Murry Grigsby May 27, 2019 0
Birdie, the soft green fern at the bottom really completes your splendid image. Great light and colors. I imagine that Hantzle and Grettle will stroll by at any minute. #109152Kathleen Clemons May 27, 2019 0

Beautiful shot Birdie! Ummm... How did you find out about the hallucinogenic properties? ;) #109225Dolores Neilson May 27, 2019 0
My that is sure pretty, Birdie...but not something that would do pretty things on my brain and body! That looks mighty poisonous!! #109583Wolfgang Dolak May 27, 2019 0
Thank you all for your kind comments and all the time you have constantly taken to have a look at my photographs!!Kathleen: I did this at home, kind of studio setting, lit the mushroom from above and from down under with a reflector.
Thanks for the word hallucinogenic, Ron!! In fact there are stories that in Russia noble people ate these mushrooms to get high - their servants drank their urine to get the same effect! Ugh!
Dolores: The whole Amanita-family is rather poisonous, most of all Amanita phalloides which is absolutely deadly - destroys the liver, but when you find out about it, noone can help any more!
Thanks again!
