edible, I think, but we didn't harvest them.
I never knew that poisoning people intentionally
with mushrooms was such a thing,
until I happened to watch these four movies
in the space of a couple of months:
The Beguiled 1971
The Beguiled 2017
Phantom Thread 2017
Shadow of a Doubt 1943
If you love mushrooms (but not as a weapon!)
you might enjoy this crazy mystical mushroom video

who also sent this vintage cartoon of
frogs wearing poisonous mushroom hats
while dancing under a kind of creepy summer moon. Why is that fairytales always choose to feature
this poisonous (though not deadly) mushroom?
I guess it's because of the irresistibly cute color scheme:
red with white - polka dots!
Just be sure to tell the kids: DO NOT EVER EAT!
Fly Agaric (Amanita Muscaria)
