Walking our dogs at the Cork Forrest (Glenloch Cork Oak Plantation) this morning we were amazed to find the place choc full of Amanita Muscaria mushrooms. It looked like an illustration for a child’s book. One which should be labeled;
“Do NOT Eat These!”
Anyone interested in the study of fungi, or anyone who just enjoyed beautiful woodland walks with items of interesting loveliness on them, would be advised to get there soon, before some ruffian takes it into thier head to kick them over. (Seeing as there’s hundreds of them, this may take some time.)
[ED – These are better known as Fly Agarics as such if one feeds them to a reindeer the resulting urine is a top notch drug. Stay off the reindeer wee kids.]
