Destroying angel

Contrary to rumour, very few fungi are fatally poisonous. About 2% might give you funny dreams or an upset stomach but few kill. The destroying angel is an exception - it is as poisonous and acts similarly to the death cap. I have always wanted to see one but mercifully they are quite rare. So today was a real highlight - my first ever Amanita virosa.
