What, no toad?!

Or fairies, or elves or whatever else you expect to see on top of a red spotted toadstool.

Found this solitary chap hiding deep amongst the pine plantation at Pitmedden (although he should be with birch.) He is, of course Amanita Muscariaor Fly Agaric. It's name comes from the practice of breaking the cap into platefuls of milk to stupefy flies. It is hallucinogenic and apparently reindeers love it for that reason ( but DONT you try it!)
