Toadstool.jpg

The trails in the UK pine forests are littered with this toadstool right now. Eventually they get broader and flatter before going brown and shrivelling up. Nothing ever seems to eat them. They look poisonous, anyone know what they are called?
I'll bet it's called DeathCap, RedShitter, OneStep, or something equally ominous!

Looks like fly amanita.
 
Thanks guys

Wikipedia: Arguably the most iconic toadstool species, the fly agaric is a large white-gilled, white-spotted, usually red mushroom, and is one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture. ..... Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths resulting from .......ingestion are extremely rare.

Probably because it looks so dangerous. Not likely to be eaten by mistake then.

I wonder what it tastes like?

Took my Ebike to my LBS to replace some spokes. Picked up my analog Stumpjumper Carbon 29er after by LBS installed new 27.5 wheels, new eliminator tires and new RockShox Yari RC forks instead of the original Fox 34.

First ride today. Awesome ride.
