An amanita muscaria mushroom in its early stages pops up through a fallen oak leaf forest floor, with its rounded bright red/orange head covered in white spots, and a white stalk with skirt. A fence and tall pines can be seen in the background.

Just in time for the holidays, an appearance from the #flyagaric mushroom, aka #amanitamuscaria! With psychedelic links to Siberian shamanism, as well as prominent ties to the Christmas traditions of northern Europe, this mushroom is a seasonal favorite!
