Scout Road Wood 29-08-13

Oliver has been so desperate to see a Amanita muscaria in a wood since he his interest in fungi began last year. He has only seen images in his mycology books, so we decided to go and find one in our local birch wood this evening. He jumped up and down with excitement when we saw it and it was a perfect end to his amazing day.

  1. That is a particularly fine young Fly Agaric for Oliver's first, and an excellent photo. His eyes will pop when he sees a widely opened one !
