Nature Friday.



Amanita muscaria growing under NZ silver beech trees.  Surely that is a more interesting name to conjure with than Fly Agaric.

Can anyone else see a tiny arm reaching out from under it?  Faeries live in 'toadstools' like that one. I always knew it.

  2. We used to get them under our (Christmas tree) out front. Not sure which kind of tree it actually was. My daughter, who was very young, said there’s fairies under there because of those toadstools.
    I told her to never touch them or the fairies would leave. It worked. Better than just saying they’re poisonous lol and yes I can absolutely see the little arm.

    Heheh, oh yes, I see that ethereal 'arm'!

    A beautiful cap, no quibble;
    though consumption may cause one to dribble.
    The tongue might be tied
    one wil become crosseyed
    and likely walk as a triffle with wibble!

  4. Oh yes, I see it- Faeries live here as well. They are cross right now because of Christmas and the lights put up on the trees.

  7. Lots of fairies in the woods here and lots of Amanita to shelter them.

  8. My Irish grandmother and many of her generation believed in the little people. Some still do.
