Magic Mushroom?
A "shroom" who knew? I got this informative email from a fellow blogger:I think I have seen the mushroom in your latest blog post (red one with white spots) in Bavarian Alps: the biologist who was with me told me that it was used in Hindu rituals. I see that this page corroborates what he told me.
Probably, you already knew that this mushroom could cause hallucinations. I guess your friend Neil did give you a smart suggestion:-)

Thanks, Guru for filling me in. I was incredibly curious as to the type of fungus we had come across and had no idea where to begin in identifying it. Good thing we didn't eat it...or maybe I did and that explains the previous post (da da DAAAA!)

Greetings from Estonia ! :)
This mushroom is called the fly agaric or in other words amanita muscaria.It is a powerful hallucinogen and it is toxic,so it was good you didn't eat it(or?)..
I have eaten it,but if u consider doing it i recommand,that u do a bit of research before. www.erowid.org is a good site for that ..cheers ;)
They are beautiful mushrooms. I dont reccomend eating it though, really not the kind of trip your looking for :) If your so inclined start with a good P.Cubensis. Nice photograph.
