"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, above all, to make you see." -- Joseph Conrad (1897)

Wild Fairy Mushrooms (Raven Run)
(Wild Fairy Mushrooms are difficult to capture on film as they are constantly shifting in and out of our reality...)
Looks like fly agaric- it'll produce some really intense hallucinations if eaten- please be advised that this can be fatal and is therefore not recommended! ( unless you are a gnome, dryad,pixie, brownie, sylph,elf, nymph, leprechaun etc)
While I am not opposed to hallucinations when they are needed, I am not ready for death yet.. thus as a city boy (even if I am wild and seeking wilder environments) I do not harvest any wild shrooms as I feel inadequate to the task of sifting through which are poisonous and which are edible.

Allan,
While I am not opposed to hallucinations when they are needed, I am not ready for death yet.. thus as a city boy (even if I am wild and seeking wilder environments) I do not harvest any wild shrooms as I feel inadequate to the task of sifting through which are poisonous and which are edible.
Thanks for the warning--peace...
