Zac and Tash and I saw these toadstools walking to school, not far from the library.
(How do toadstools walk to school, do you ask? It's a fair question, and one that deserves an answer.)
They look pretty amazing, but as it happens they're a very common species called Amanita muscaria or fly agaric, poisonous for sure, but not usually deadly.
They last only a couple of days then turn brown and wither away into sludge.
A few days after Zac took this photo, we went for a walk in Hazelbrook down the back of our friends Ian and Kate's house - they have five acres of bush - and Kate showed us a huge field of these little beauties.
Ant.
