To poison or not to poison .....

Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria)

When I was a little girl, we used to go searching for mushrooms in the Finnish forests in SaarijärviÄiti always told us never to touch these ones. Even though they are very pretty they contain toxic compounds that affect the nervous system.

This year the mushrooms are soooo late!!!! There isn't almost any yet - yesterday I saw only one tiny little where there should be tens. It's been too cold and rainy.
