Canberra Magic
Aminata muscaria (fly agaric or fly amanita) are introduced species in Australia typically found under exotic trees, pines and oaks usually. Poisonous and psychoactive (muscimol) if eaten and dangerous to children especially. The species is fairly rare in Australia and largely restricted to pine and oak plantations. Finds create wonder and excitement among children because of the toadstools beauty and association with European fairy tales. This example was found in the century old cork oak plantation in the Australian National Arboretum Canberra.
