Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria). Famous, enchanting and highly toxic. Fly agaric is the home of fairies and magical creatures and a lover of birch woodland, where it helps trees by transferring nutrients into their roots, but if eaten can cause hallucinations and psychotic reactions.
Tessy the Toadstool Faerie enjoys having adventures in the garden, but even she has to stop climbing and playing games of make believe when her mummy calls her to family tea with her parents and baby Tobias.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 5th of July is "triptych", which is a set of three associated or interconnected images displayed together as a single artwork. It\'s like a visual story told through three separate but related photographs, often with a shared theme or narrative. The request for this theme is that three separate photos are used and that they are displayed in the traditional orientation: side by side. For the theme, I have chosen four little little toadstool faeries – Tessy, her mother, her father and baby Tobias in his father’s arms. All these little toadstool faeries are hand made and felted by Ambrosius in Romania and were acquired from Oskar’s Wooden Ark, a small, independent, family run business the Adelaide suburb of Gepps Cross in South Australia.
Ambrosius dolls have been lovingly made in Transylvania, Romania, since 1996. A collaboration between Katalin Poszony, the owner of Ambrosius, and a Waldorf School resulted in beautiful, eco-friendly, handmade fairy dolls, inspired by particular flowers or fruits. From there on Ambrosius flower fairies took the world by storm but Katalina’s love for nature and focus on sustainability remained the same. All of her creations are made from sustainable materials such as wool, wool felt, and wood. Katalina’s company Ambrosius doesn’t only support the environment but is also one of the few Romanian companies that support mothers with young children, retirees and people with disabilities by offering them working from home opportunities. Giving back and helping the ones in need is also close to Katalina’s heart and a part of Ambrosius’ profits is donated to the local Waldorf School and also to educational institutions in some of Transylvania\'s poorer villages.
I would like to acknowledge and thank my Flickr Friend Red Stilletto red stilletto for inspiring me to use the application of a wide white frame, a design element she uses to create great impact with her own images.

I looked it up and apparently there is no scientific difference between mushrooms and toadstools... well, I didn't know
that! This little one is alone in the dampest, and often most interesting, part of our garden. Last year they grew in abundance. This year I struggled to find any!

This little fly was setting on the edge of a toadstool, soaking up the sun to warm up. Taken at Christian Renewal Center.

Ich entdeckte diesen Fliegenpilz im Herbstwald. Wundervolle warme Farben.
I found this toadstool in the autumn forest. Wonderful warm colors.
I love mushrooms but I don't think these are edible. Photo was taken from the park.

LOL! Nature has its funny side.
This column remains after all the softer sandstone has eroded away from eons of weathering.
The Toadstools, east of Kanab, Utah.
toadstool - My husband and I both took photos of the toadstool - we both agreed we had never seen one like this in the wild only in books. This was in the forest at Grizdale in the Lakes.
The Panhandle of Nebraska is full of scenic beauty, the Toadstool Geologic Area is one of those places. Located along the Pine Ridge, where the endless prairie hits a speed bump.

The Toadstool
Oliver Wendell Holmes
THERE 's a thing that grows by the fainting flower,
And springs in the shade of the lady's bower;
The lily shrinks, and the rose turns pale,
When they feel its breath in the summer gale,
And the tulip curls its leaves in pride,
And the blue-eyed violet starts aside;
But the lily may flaunt, and the tulip stare,
For what does the honest toadstool care?
She does not glow in a painted vest,
And she never blooms on the maiden's breast;
But she comes, as the saintly sisters do,
In a modest suit of a Quaker hue.
And, when the stars in the evening skies
Are weeping dew from their gentle eyes,
The toad comes out from his hermit cell,
The tale of his faithful love to tell.
Oh, there is light in her lover's glance,
That flies to her heart like a silver lance;
His breeches are made of spotted skin,
His jacket 'is tight, and his pumps are thin;
In a cloudless night you may hear his song,
As its pensive melody floats along,
And, if you will look by the moonlight fair,
The trembling form of the toad is there.
And he twines his arms round her slender stem,
In the shade of her velvet diadem;
But she turns away in her maiden shame,
And will not breathe on the kindling flame;
He sings at her feet through the live-long night,
And creeps to his cave at the break of light;
And whenever he comes to the air above,
His throat is swelling with baffled love.
Get that powerup star luv!
