These beautiful mushrooms were sitting out with a view of Vancouver on the western slope of Burnaby mountain. A friend of mine got a much better picture of them with an iPhone Sony PowerShot last week, but since I was passing, I decided to have a go with what I had.

This species, Amanita muscaria is iconic in appearance and is known as both a hallucinogen and a fly toxin (hence the name). I hope you enjoy these shots!
