The quintessential toadstool


I remember when I thought that toadstools that were bright red with white spots were just fabrication invented for children's illustrations and cartoons. Then I discovered the highly toxic fly agaric. I seem to see it all the time now (well, it's very conspicuous!) but it's amazing just how many different types of fungi we walk past all the time, even if we don't go traipsing through strange woodlands on a regular basis.
