Amanita muscaria.   …A very nice mushroom! The fungus that is encountered in the stories of the gnomes …….. Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths resulting from its ingestion are extremely rare.                      .    Better not eat it ..!This is photographed in Sardinia (Italy) under a forest of eucalyptus.     .                  .                 .         .Photo © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved

Amanita vaginata, commonly known as the grisette, is an edible mushroom in the Amanitaceae family of fungi.Although not poisonous, most authors advise against consumption due to the possibility of mistaking other poisonous species of Amanita for it. I agree: with mushrooms need to be very cautious ..!This small amanita vaginata, newborn, I photographed in Sardinia (Italy). Photo © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved
