Everyone has seen this mushroom in fairytale books, wall posters and advertising. I came across one in our forest yard. It's been raining really hard here in Colorado and all types of plant species not seen for years are now sprouting and popping up in the saturated soils. I last saw this species here more than ten years ago.
Wikipedia has much to say about this mushroom. If you're interested go to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria
