Nicephoto. We have these mushrooms in Denmark too, but so far I haven't seen them in France.

Re: NiceThank you for your votes and information. We had lots of various mushrooms last year. Too bad Amanita muscaria is poisonous. Greetings, Henryk.

Amanita?Amanita bisporigera causes a lot of USA poisonings. Apparently there is a fairly good antitoxin, and the illness takes long enough that people often make it to a hospital in time to get recognition of the symptoms.

Re: Amanita?In Poland about 500 - 1000 people get poisoned by mushrooms from amanita family each year, even though it seems to be common knowledge that they are poisonous. Thank you for the comment and vote. Greetings, Henryk.

Poisoning explanation?These mushrooms are reputed to have psychedelic properties (which is apparently not the case). Hence the frequent poisonings.

not exactly psychedelicThe shamans mushroom causes delusions not hallucinations according to the book "From Chocolate to Morphine". The toxin muscarine varies in each mushroom so they are unpredictable. They grow at treeline in the high country of Colorado in abundance.
